Calvin Klein (CK5462) in Havana Blue |
Rittenhouse Eye Associates addressed the new reality in eye wear:
There was a time, not too long ago, when eyeglasses were considered ugly and unacceptable in the world of fashion. People dreaded hearing that particular diagnosis from their eye doctor and would beg for contact lenses or just as well leave the eye wear in their drawer, causing their eyesight to grow even worse. Then, at the turn of the century, everything began to change. A new standard of fashion emerged, wherein everything that was once associated with the uncool was now fashionable. All of the sudden, people were clamoring to wear eyeglasses as their new fashion accessory, not only accepting their diagnosis, but reveling in it.
Eye wear now had a new descriptor added to its tag line "Fashion". Gone are the days when you have only one pair. There was a time when all that was available was the wire-framed glasses and maybe one or two plastic frames. They looked like the safety glasses I had to wear at my first job; yuck. These frames were the same for anyone and sunglasses were the only types of eyeglasses that were sold with more exciting patterns. This is no longer the case. Of course wire frames are still available, and oddly enough, quite popular. However, now, you can get any style of frames your heart desires.

It is not at all unusual for us to to spend time shopping for a pair of earnings, bags, jewelry, belts and shoes that we only wear occasionally. What accessory do you wear every day. So don't be boring. Choose an eyeglass style to accent you mood, and enhance your look. Eye wear is becoming the most important fashion accessory.

I also love my 'gurl glasses'. They are a great way to diminish 'man face; There are 'by mail' re-lensing services if you find a special vintage frame set. AND they will do a 'non refractive' lens for fashion purposes.
ReplyDeleteI read that 'donated' frames going to underdveloped countries for re-use has hit a snag, as with the internet advert machine, EVERYONE wants contemporary glasses 'as seen' in ....
