Is wire-rimmed the latest trend in eyewear? It’s actually the oldest.
No matter, really, wire-rimmed glasses are simply a timeless and versatile style that’s been trending on and off since eyeglasses were invented.
Some of the first eyeglasses were plain metal frames. Because they are remarkably simple and easy to make, people have been wearing wire-rimmed glasses since the 13th century.
People aren’t choosing wire-rimmed glasses only because of their simplistic nature. Wire-rimmed glasses are officially in again. And they’ve come a long way since the days of Napoleon Dynamite and Harry Potter. Whether you’re reaching for ‘70s-inspired aviators, classic round frames, or retro ovals, wire-rim glasses officially have the style seal of approval again.
Because there are so many frame options, it’s best to look at your face shape and the aesthetic you’re going for. What look do you want to achieve?
Wireframes can cover a variety of staples—from retro-vintage to hipster glasses in square, round, aviator, and butterfly shapes. And they can flatter every face shape.

(and looks).
Let’s have a look at some cool wire-rimmed glasses that may be ideal for you.
As the weather starts getting cooler, you may want to embrace a season of new trends. This season is rife with inspiration, but it isn’t exactly new. Retro-inspired trends have started creeping into our wardrobes. From flare jeans to knee-high boots to leather button-front skirts, it’s clear what decade we are getting our fashion inspiration from this fall. And it isn’t stopping there! Retro 70s glasses provide a great accessory for this season.
Many of these bold 70s glasses aren’t for the faint of heart. Fun-loving statement frames are here to help you stand out from the crowd. Instead of demure cat-eye shapes or translucent frames, we’re reaching for oversized square frames, new takes on aviator styles, and yellow-tinted lenses.
The 70s were the years that officially began to consider glasses as fashion accessories rather than just a necessary addition to help you see. The decade was rich in experiments of all kinds that led to modern eyewear and current trends.
That’s why you can flip through a 70s graduation book, admire the eccentric styles, and want to try them on for a cool new/old look. The years were filled with extravagant shapes, different materials, and rich earthy colors. Here are three retro 70s glasses styles to try out to embrace the peace and love era for all its worth.
If you wear glasses, you know there’s nothing better than replacing your old, outdated lenses with an up-to-date prescription and a stylish new pair of frames.
We all know the drill: you get your eyes checked, get a new prescription, choose your frames, and wait a week or so for your new specs to arrive. You get the call, pick up your new glasses, slide them on expecting to see the world in all its crystal clear brilliance…. But woah! Something doesn’t seem quite right.
The truth is new glasses, especially with new prescriptions, don’t always produce the expected outcome right away. It’s actually quite common to experience an adjustment period.
In other words, the new glasses that are designed to help you see better, reduce headaches, and improve your eyes’ stamina and ability to focus can actually produce the opposite effect—at least initially. It’s common to feel like you are wearing the wrong prescription.
DON’T PANIC!
We’ve researched the topic to shed some light on the most common concerns of eyewear patients who are getting used to new glasses and answered the most common questions about adjusting to new glasses.
