An improved frame for eyeglasses includes a pair of interconnected rims, each of which is configured to surround and support an eyeglass lens and at least one clasp superimposed over at least about 1/3 of the outer surface of one of the rims. The clasp is configured and dimensioned to correspond to the configuration and width of the portion of the outer surface of the rim over which it is superimposed. The clasp is also generally spaced above this portion of the rim outer surface to permit a portion of a user's garment to be inserted between the clasp and the rim. The clasp serves to releasably secure the eyeglass frame to a user's garment inserted between the rim and the clasp.
