Spectacles clipped to the nose (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
pince-nez
'spectacles clipped to the nose' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pince-nez that I've seen before include "Glasses used to see" , "Lenses" , "Glasses held on by nose clip" , "Pair of glasses that clip on the nose, with no side-pieces" , "Clip-on glasses" .)
