    Anyone know where you can get some? My friend got some in America without lens because she doesn't need glasses but still wears the frames sometimes. Cheers!

    TBH I hate this look.

    In saying that, I know a lot of people just pop the lens's out of the 3D glasses you get in the cinema for free.

    You could also try going in to an opticians and see if they'll sell old/out of season pairs to you with just the clear lens's or no lens's in them.

    I know my friend got some in TK Maxx a couple of years ago, not sure if they still have them though!

    Alternatively if you're willing to pay the money I'm sure you could just buy them in Specsavers or any other opticians!

    Penneys have black ones and tortoiseshell ones at the moment. (€1.50 I think)

    if you go to the likes of specsavers you can buy them non-perscription. (i.e. with just plain glass) Although they would be dearer than pennys ones they will look and feel like normal glasses well because the are i suppose!!:D

    I hate this look. I'm a glasses wearer, although I wear contacts mostly and I really don't understand why people would wear fake glasses?

    They're in Pennys anyway and probably Urban Outfitters

    As a real glasses wearer I always think that looks really hipster and stupid but whatever floats your boat:S..they sell them in Topshop and Claires Accessories.

    Nice frames, crazily cheap, they can do 'em without prescription lenses. Only thing is, delivery takes a while.

    Seriously wearing glasses when you don't need them? :confused: The mind boggles. I think it would make someone look a bit silly but that's just my opinion. AFAIK the pennies ones are reading glasses though, I know my mum buys them in there sometimes and they're very powerfull so wearing those when not needed really wouldn't be good for your eyes.

    They sell fake ones as well sapsorrow.

    I totally agree, it makes no sense to wear them when you don't have to! Who came up with this bright idea I wonder?
