Women's Sunglasses |
In the fashion
and health aware world of today, good sunglasses
should be an essential part of any woman's wardrobe.
Well styled, high quality sunglasses can be distinctive
to individual personalities and be an eye catching
fashion accessory sure to attract questions and
compliments. While those of us that work at the
Vintage Sunglasses Shop are admittedly sunglasses
nuts, we believe women shouldn't have only 1 pair
of sunglasses but rather a sunglasses collection.
Different styles, shapes, and colors of rare and
authentic vintage sunglasses can supplement your
look at formal or informal occasions, in summer
or winter seasons, out shopping or at the office,
and in a flashy or understated way depending on
your mood.
While there
are no universal rules, the shape of your face is
important when selecting the right sunglasses. Women
with more square faces should generally choose sunglasses
that are more rounded and not wider than your face.
For really top of the line examples of the rounded
look, check out vintage Revo 962 sunglasses with
different colors of highly reflective Revo mirrored
lenses. While they weren't cheap new and still aren't
cheap today 30 years later, rare styles such as
Revo
962 001 sunglasses with blue mirrored lens and
tortoise shell ear stems can become one of your
prized possessions for many years to come. Women
with a more rounded face shape should generally
choose sunglasses that are more angular at the corners
to add definition to the face. Often, rectangular
sunglasses such as the Revo
1126 sunglasses with etched gunmetal frame and
stealth mirrored lens will look great on women with
rounder faces. Women whose face shape is more oval
than round have the most flexibility to choose most
any sunglass style they like. If your face shape
is more triangular, you will want to consider sunglasses
that add width above the cheekbones to create a
balancing effect such as super cool Revo
970 sunglasses or vintage original Ray-Ban Wayfarer
sunglasses in a variety of colors.
Styling can
be classic like vintage aviator sunglasses. If you're
a traditionalist, you can find a variety of authentic
B&L Ray-Ban aviator and shooter sunglasses throughout
our inventory of vintage
Ray-Ban sunglasses, but other brands also did
interesting variations of aviator style sunglasses
over the years such as the unique interpretation
of classic aviators evident in Revo
990 and Revo
1109 sunglasses. Oversized large sunglasses
are popular today with both men and women, but we
don't particularly care for modern designer logo
driven styles like Chanel and Versace but rather
prefer the cleaner look of vintage Carrera
Porsche Design or Alpina
sunglasses such as Carrera 5621 and 5623 sunglasses
with interchangeable lens, Carrera 5622 folding
sunglasses, and the famous Alpina M1 and M3 styles
from the 1980s and early 1990s. If you want a little
WOW factor, you can't go wrong with vintage Persol
or Cazal sunglasses such as the striking Cazal
958 sunglasses.
Vintage women's
sunglasses at the Vintage Sunglasses Shop are all
authentic, top quality vintage sunglasses from the
1950s through the 1990s - no fakes, reproductions,
or "retro style" sunglasses and all in
excellent vintage condition. We specially select
only certain styles and years from select brands
which we believe represent the finest quality and
style of vintage sunglasses from the mid to late
20th century golden age of sunglasses design and
production. We also select only brands that have
top lens technology to protect your eyes from harmful
UV rays and give you visual acuity across a range
of light conditions. Learn about the differences
and uses of polarized
vs. non-polarized sunglasses, and explore the
range of special lens technologies and coatings
such as rare and unique Ray-Ban Kalichrome,
Ambermatic,
Changeables,
and Arista
G-15 lens shooters. Don't be fooled by fakes
and cheap reproductions that may have dark tints
but offer little protection. Most of all, choose
cool vintage sunglasses that you love!
