Retro Love: Vintage Eyeglasses Make a Comeback

Retro eyeglasses are back in full swing.

Wherever you look, you’ll spot a frame that’s a reconstruction of a design past. From brands like Ray-Ban® to brands like Vogue™ or 7 For All Mankind®, everyone is putting a spin on the vintage look.

And why wouldn’t they?

Retro eyeglasses are the perfect accessory to just about any outfit. Wear them with a business suit to make a confident statement and exude professionalism, or pair a great pair of vintage eyeglasses with your favorite jeans and instantly transform your look to say you’re effortlessly stylish.

Retro Fashion 101

Everywhere you look, though, you’re guaranteed to find thicker rimmed eyeglasses, more oversized frames, and the classic tortoiseshell coloring. Most designers make these styles their own by reinterpreting colors and details, but the same classic look lasts.

Vintage Eyeglasses for Women

For women, the cat-eye eyeglasses are coming back something fierce. Easily found in both prescription eyeglasses and trendy sunglasses, the cat eye is feminine and stylish. If true vintage cat-eye eyeglasses aren’t really your taste, you can easily remain stylish in a pair of frames that are inspired by the cat-eye look.

Retro Eyeglasses for Men

Men, you’re in luck. Retro eyewear in full swing means you always get a stylish, sophisticated look. Thick, retro tortoiseshell colored eyeglasses are the best accent to any outfit. They’re classic, timeless fashion symbols. Pair them with a plaid shirt and khakis for the classic “All American “look or your favorite suit for a fashionable yet professional statement.

Flip through any fashion magazine or even watch your favorite T.V. shows, and you’re sure to find these awesome retro eyeglasses on faces all throughout. Come in to your nearest Eyeglass World® store location today and try on a pair of vintage style designer eyeglasses yourself.

You’ll fall in love with history, we just know it!
