The Optical Awesome 'Look of Disapproval' glasses may look like they're fit for permanent pessimists, but the intention is more so to grant your forehead muscles a break from trying to twist your brows to aid spurning stares.

The [quirky frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection) are based on the character sequence emoticon used to show off disbelief via electronic mediums and have such straight-edge lines it appears you actually have typeface balancing on the bridge of your nose. The silently-critical accessories come in a regular size and a larger version for colossal-headed condescending.

The quirky Optical Awesome 'Look of Disapproval' glasses are sold on Etsy.com for those that wish to achieve that effortless expression just by tossing on some scorning specs.
