Hello lovelies,
Today I’m sharing with you all a fabulous blog on vintage eyewear. I think one of my favourite parts of vintage life is when you have a desired vintage item, there’s a lot of research you put in, then you begin to search for your dream piece, for me at the moment I’m hunting the perfect pair of true vintage sunglasses! I own quite a few pairs of modern vintage sunglasses, but I’m on a mission to find the perfect pair of true vintage sunnies.
Vintage eyewear whether in the form of sunglasses or spectacles are the perfect accessory for you to make your pinup look that little bit more vintage! I think the vintage look is all int the small details, and eyewear is something you can either downplay or utilise something more unique! Not only are sunglasses are a fabulous piece, but they’re also important to ensure your eyes are protected from the sun, and they’ll also help with reducing wrinkles which can be caused by sun damage, or squinting in the sun!
When it comes to what shape best suits your face, throw all those rules out the window and have fun trying on different styles that catch you eye. The rules are made to be broken, look for eyewear that stands out to you, and select what you think looks fabulous on you!

If you wear prescriptions never fear, quite a few modern sunglasses are designed so you can put a prescription lenses into them, when at a store the sales assistant there should be able to let you know. With true vintage pieces this can be a little trickier, though you can always check with the shop owner, or chat to the person who will be changing the lenses, ask about what styles can be used with prescriptions.
Keep your eyes fashionably protected ladies!
Much love,

This is great timing as I’m planning on getting new glasses and prescription sunnies in about a month’s time, and will be looking for vintage styles.
