Our Trendiest Vintage Sunglasses Shapes
Vintage Cat-Eye Prescription Sunglasses
Cat-eye sunglasses are those distinctive large lensed frames with sharp corners. This style first became popular in the 50s and 60s, and was seen mostly as a feminine style. We have a few different takes on vintage cat-eye sunglasses, from the classic thick, plastic, and brightly colored version, to more subtle narrow shaped frames.
Vintage Round Prescription Sunglasses
The earliest eyewear featured perfectly rounded lenses. Our vintage round sunglasses are stylish and varied, with thin wire frames, classy rounded browlines and daring circular aviators galore. Round lensed sunglasses provide great visual coverage to keep your eyes shielded from the sun.
Vintage Oval Prescription Sunglasses
The softer curves of oval frames make them a little more subtle than perfectly circular frames. Our vintage oval sunglasses are super adaptable and fit almost any face shape. You can take advantage of our Try On feature to find the oval frame that fits you best.
Choose Your Lens and Frame Colors
Vintage Tortoiseshell Frames
Our tortoiseshell frames are made with acetate or plastic, so they are extra lightweight and durable. Truly vintage prescription sunglasses styles in tortoise feature earthy brown and tan shades, but if you're feeling a little more daring you can try a more modern version like monochrome or pink!
Silver and Gold Metal Frames
You can really embrace the vintage aesthetic with a pair of metal shades. Silver metal sunglasses have a cooler and more understated feel, while gold-colored frames are warmer and slightly more bold. This vintage sunglasses style is a classically stylish choice.
Understanding Lens Tints
You should consider both style and taste when choosing the lens tint for your prescription sunglasses. For standard, gradient and polarized lenses you can choose between gray, brown and green lens tints. Gray lenses help reduce glare, while brown lenses keep vision bright on cloudy days. Green lenses filter some blue light which helps to reduce eye strain.
