Glasses are one of the favorite accessories of some girls. There are those who use them as an alternative to protect themselves from the sun’s rays, while for others they are an essential accessory when it comes to combating vision problems; the truth is that for both cases, the latest trends opt for vintage lens models.
The vintage glasses, which evoke the styles of the past, they shyly returned from the hands of the representatives of hipster fashion and little by little they were adopted by celebrities and bloggers, who turned them into a trend desired by all.
Like all fashion, the trend of vintage glasses has its own characteristics, which place it within this style. When talking about this type of glasses, reference is made to models inspired by frames that we have already seen in the past, and that currently present slight variations. Between the glasses, indisputably vintage, we can mention the round glasses, the «cat eyes» and the «wayfarer.»
Round glasses are a classic that automatically brings to mind the image of the legendary artist, John Lennon, who made them part of his look, both in his prescription glasses and in his sunglasses. Today, other stars like Vanessa Hudges, Lady Gaga or the Olsen twins use them as one of their must-haves, in colorful designs with borders that vary from pastel, earthy and orange tones and smoky, black, green or blue crystals.
However, despite its popularity, It is not a style for all face types.; round glasses are not recommended for girls with an oval face as they highlight this shape and are rather ideal for those with a square face. The ideal to achieve an appearance that does not threaten the symmetry of our face is to choose those models that are outside the contour of the face.
Other glasses that cannot be missed when referring to vintage models are the “Cat Eyes”, a style popularized by the British actress Audrey Hepburn in the 50s.
This style of glasses favors girls with a triangular face, which is characterized by a forehead that is wider than the jaw. On the contrary, they are not suitable for women with a heart-shaped face, which is recognized by the angular jaw and rather narrow forehead.
For its part and also belonging to the vintage style are the «wayfarer» lenses. These, like other designs created by the Ray Ban firm, are quite timeless—it is not in vain that they are the best-selling models in history—and in recent years they have generated particular enthusiasm among their followers.
This model is ideal for men and women with a rectangular or triangular face shape.; in both, the proportions of the frame fit perfectly.
Everything retro and vintage has gained a space to coexist with the proposals of the present. In the case of glasses, this trend is quite flattering, and gives us an excuse to always look fashionable with our favorite glasses.
