DC Street Chic: Dupont Circle

Reported by Justin

A weekly dose of fashion inspiration to get the work week off to a start.

Cool Frames at the Circle

This is Jeff at Dupont Circle. He’s a paralegal in Georgetown, and for the time being lives out in Rockville. He got his very cool Francois Pinton frames from Moscot, in New York.

“You don’t see many people with round frames, but I think that people think of glasses as being round for some reason. I get a lot of comments about them. People tend to go straight for Harry Potter, and sometimes Where’s Waldo, but I like to think of them as Leon Trotsky glasses. The other night I was told they were like Philip Johnson’s glasses, though his were much thicker framed, but that started a conversation about Le Corbusier and all the terrible brutalist buildings downtown. So.”

What do you think? Are round frames the new square frames? Yeas and Nays below.
