Over the years, numerous style icons have embraced circular frames (think John Lennon, Andy Warhol, and Johnny Depp). So why has it taken us laymen so long to catch on?

Long associated with hippie counterculture and the lit-intellectual scene, these smart specs are simultaneously fashionable and retro-chic.
