Did you know that before there was a ‘mic drop,’ there was the ‘monocle drop?’

A monocle drop is a way for the wearer to express surprise or disdain. It’s said to be a practiced gesture that only the elite can pull off! Fascinating, no?!

The monocle is a lens that rests along the upper cheekbone, held in place by the muscles around the eye. You might associate it with villains like Sherlock Holmes’ archenemy Professor Moriarty or Mr. Monopoly (yes, in my opinion, Mr. Monopoly is a villain). Or, maybe you imagine genteel aristocrats in tuxedos.

Monocles have a fascinating history overall. Are you looking to buy a monocle? Read this first before you buy your eyewear!

Let’s be honest: earbuds and headphones can be a pain, especially while you’re working out. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could listen to music from inside your sunglasses?
