Retro glasses for men and women: vintage style

Retro glasses are vintage inspired glasses that give the wearer a distinct appearance; that is why they are loved by many people. These glasses are simply vintage reproduced glasses by manufacturers. They take an already popular vintage design and re-create it for the buying public.

These eyeglasses first gained popularity in the 70s and all through to the 90s. While most of them went out of fashion at the dawn of the new millennium, a few still remained in the mainstream due to their timeless design. Today, retro glasses appear to be making a comeback, especially for many people who want to alter their appearance.

In light of the growing demand for this type of eyewear, many manufacturers are reproducing them in different forms and styles. There are cat eye models, square shaped models, round and oval shaped frames. By bringing old vintage designs back to the mainstream by recreating these glasses, buyers have more options than ever before.
