If you’re looking to be the ‘coolest’ kid in town, you may want to pick yourself up a pair of ice glasses. Staying on the cutting edge of style is tough, but if you’ve got these spectacles on, you’ll always ‘keep your eye’ on being cool.
Baku Maeda, a Japanese artist, created these glasses. They weren’t created for any particular reason other than artistic expression, because he can’t use them for prescription purposes. Regardless, they still look great.
The ice glasses look like an actual pair of glasses inside of a rectangular block of ice and sit squarely on the face like normal frames do. These may not be the most functional pair of glasses, but I’m sure that wearing them must be pretty ‘chill.'
