<\/a><\/p>\nYou know a specific era of vintage fashion is back in<\/em>\u00a0when you look at those styles and don\u2019t even think of them as old, but rather as established trends now. Heavy black frames? Winged cat-eye lines? It all seems perfectly on-trend, despite pulling from the 1940s and their comeback in the 1960s.<\/p>\n The difference is that if you dug through your parents\u2019 and grandparents\u2019 boxes of old stuff to pull out their musty glasses, you would find frames that look quite similar to these new options, minus the moths and cob webs, but that are also heavier, less comfortable, and slightly less refined.<\/p>\n Despite these differences, because they are so clearly paying homage to frames from generations past, you can also pair these glasses with actual vintage garments mixed together with new trends to create your own unique, retro style.<\/p>\n Vintage styles can pose a challenge if their design and aesthetic are unfamiliar and and you aren\u2019t sure what styles work best for you. One great way to find the right vintage-look glasses for you is to browse Pinterest boards of vintage style from the 1940s and 1970s. Other online resources that present historic fashion images work well too. Look for people who have a similar face shape to yours to get a sense of what frame shapes are best for your face.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
