What are the defining features of classic eyeglasses?
Classic prescription glasses and frames are designed for fashionable simplicity. In short, they’re expertly imagined to turn heads and spark admiration. Glasses like these are often associated with intellectuals and individuals with a tasteful mystique.
Most classic-style eyeglass frames are oval or rectangular in shape.
Shapes like these often bring about an air of noble dignity. Their adaptability can be perfect for trendsetters looking to make a statement. Conversely, classic frames are also perfect for those who aim to express confidence through the subtlety of their eyewear.
What are some go-to classic glasses styles?
When it comes to classic eyeglasses, there’s not one singular style. You have options. (And plenty at that!)
- Rimless eyeglasses are endlessly unique and incredibly easy to wear.
- Semi-Rimless frame glasses have a sharp, intellectual presence that’s truly eternal.
- Titanium eyeglasses and frames are bold, yet pragmatic, blending sensibility with fashion.
- Acetate frames are ageless and enduring, offering boundless opportunities for expression.
Classic eyeglasses with acetate frames or metal frames are built to last. This is why these materials are so common to classic eyewear. People want them to last as long as they’re in style, and they never go out of style.
For eyewear that can keep up with the hustle and bustle of a busy lifestyle, choose titanium or acetate.
What face shapes do classic eyeglasses styles complement?
Since most classic frames are rectangular or oval, certain face shapes may pair better than others.
Rectangular frames will be a better fit for those with round-, oval-, and pear-shaped faces. Similarly, classic oval frames will look nothing short of fantastic on diamond, heart, and square face shapes.
Naturally, experimentation is encouraged, regardless of your face shape. But, if you don’t know it already, you can find out in an instant using our handy face shape app, linked below.
What’s the difference between classic eyewear and retro-vintage eyewear?
The term “classic eyewear” typically applies to styles that are popular, enduring, and timeless. They’re characterized by simplicity that enables them to break from being associated with any particular decade.
As a result, classic styles are usually adaptable. This means they can be worn with various outfits and for different occasions without looking outdated. When people mention classic eyeglasses, they’re typically referring to styles that are streamlined, elegant, and sophisticated.
Retro-vintage eyewear, on the other hand, draws inspiration from the past. These glasses frames will remind people of the 1960s, 1970s, and so on.
Retro-vintage glasses often feature distinctive elements or designs that were popular during those times. Examples include cat-eye glasses, oversized frames, or bold colors and patterns. Highly nostalgic, retro-vintage eyewear evokes a sense of nostalgia by harkening back to a specific period in history.
