Description

A kind of glasses without earpieces. As the name evokes (pince-nez is french for nose pincher), they are held in place by applying pressure to the bridge of the nose.

Furries tend to be pretty fond of these since conventional glasses are mostly supported by the outer part of the ear which is usually located on top of most animals' head (or at the very least, not aligned with the eyes).

The "z" is silent, it's pronounced pence-neh.
