Cheap Monday Introduces New Nerd-Approved Accessories

Cheap Monday is getting into the glasses business. The Swedish brand synonymous with inexpensive, super-skinny denim is branching out beyond basic men's and women's (and unisex) wear. Rather than do the traditional accessory launch and introduce sunglasses, Cheap Monday is setting out to give back to near- and far-sighted fashion lovers across the globe with a line of wide-rimmed glasses. The collection, cheekily called Cheap Monday Clairvoyant, "has been created in collaboration with Flo Scandinavia by creating 16 different styles in various different color ways," says Hypebeast.

“The frames—11 acetate and 5 metal models—are heavily inspired by retro and vintage glasses and sunglasses, and named after cult novels such as ‘The Darkness That Comes Before,’ ‘The Colour Out of Space’ and ‘Blindness’.” Each pair will also be outfitted with a brand new skull logo, which will ornament the temple of each pair of glasses and double as a third eye of sorts. Sadly the collection is currently only available in Scandinavia, but the company plans to bring it stateside and elsewhere around the world in future seasons. In other words, there’s a good chance Cheap Monday will do for the wide-rimmed glasses what it did for skinny jeans: turn them into a worldwide phenomenon.
