subject: Vintage Eyeglass Frames – For Classic Look [print this page] Many people wear eyeglasses because they are prescribed to do so, but many wear them to add grace and gravity to their personality. Generally, people who have vision problems hate to wear glasses as they spoil their look, but on the other hand many do not feel so and they go for frames and style that can make them look more somber and stylish.
It is true that fashion recycles itself and hence the vintage eyeglass frames are again hitting back. Vintage eyeglass frames are those that were manufactured years back, but never reached the market, and they were preserved for decades. Generally, the vintage eyeglasses frames are provided without the lens and the lenses are later fitted into these frames.
Since people opt for vintage eyeglasses frames to look different and stylish, but the sturdiness of this frames is a serious issue. Usually the vintage frames are made of high quality, but many times for people, who want to use these frames on regular basis, should check if the frame is compactable for regular use. However, these frames are of good quality, but many times, they are not able to hold the prescribed lenses in an accurate way. Therefore, it is sensible to check before using these frames for regular use.
Since vintage eyeglasses frames are available in limited number, it sometimes becomes very difficult for customer to find the frames that can suit him or her best. The different Vintage eyeglasses frames are the combination, cat eye, Emo, birth control, Librarian and horn rim. The cat eye and librarian frames were mainly designed for females. On the other hand, the birth control was for Army people and was basically in black and white colour. The horn rim was initially made of real animals' horns but over the period turned to brown plastic frame. Emo being the large and round covered most of the face and combination is the frame that was designed with both metal and plastic.
Well with all the above statements it is clear that though vintage is rare, but it has enough styles to add grace to the wearer's personality.
