Our third Ivy Style eye frames are the Atticus. Peabody-Piece trim Frame Poor Boys #8, in Honey Demi. But Peabody #8s are slightly different than GPBs with arched ridges on top of the bridge and slightly rounder, fuller P3 shaped rims, making them a great choice for classic Trad style sunglasses, with or without prescription. These frames come in four different colors and tortoise shell styles, and share the classic "keyhole" shape under the bridge as do Governor's Poor Boys. Governor's Poor Boys, in Honey Amber or Dark Hue TortoiseĪlso cited on Ivy Style are Trim Frame Poor Boys #8 from our Peabody-Pierce Import collection. They remind some of our customers of the exact same frames they used to sport in their undergrad days on campus. In fact, "GPBs" have been cited as Trad wear among subscribers to Ivy Style, on the web.
One of our most popular Ivy frames are Governor's Poor Boys. These exclusive P3 frames are a perfect compliment to the oxford cloth shirts, brushed Shetland sweaters, Harris Tweed jackets, flannel trousers and other attire embraced by traditional-minded Ivy Leaguers and those who adopt the look. But no matter which variation you embrace, your eyewear choice can make or break your look.
This style has evolved into three distinct categories: Ivy League, Trad and Preppy. Highly popular in the United States during the 1950's and '60s, Ivy Style declined until the 1980's when a return to classic fashion styles in general fueled its resurgence. When someone mentions Ivy League Style, they're talking about a traditional, formal yet casual look first popularized in British universities and American Ivy League campuses in the 1920s and 30s.
