ROUND ACCESSORIES FOR MEN – FUNKY, VINTAGE COOL
Thanks to the biggest music and culture icons of the 70s, round sunglasses – together with center-parted long hair and bell bottoms – have become synonymous with the era of free love and positive vibes. Here are ZALORA HK, we have such cool, vintage round accessories for men to bring back some retro groove into their wardrobes. Round sunnies, or ‘teashades’ as they were sometimes referred to in the past, were originally types of psychedelic, artsy, wire rimmed fashion shades worn purely for aesthetic reasons in the hippie 60s and 70s. And until now, no one has worn these uniquely shaped frames in a more iconic way that the legendary John Lennon. But guys, that shouldn’t stop you from establishing or reinforcing your own individual style and rocking such funky eyewear! From acrylic plastic to metal, monochrome to flashier colours, normal to oversized, the range of specs we have here all offer some much-needed UV protection against the sun’s rays while keeping you stylish at the same time. So look cool on your own terms and still keep your style in check while out and about under the sun.
THE HISTORY OF SUNGLASSES
The history of sunglasses has had many interesting points. These shaded glasses might have come centuries after the first eyeglasses were invented, but it has proven to be a useful invention in preventing bright sunlight from dealing damage or discomfort to our eyes. It has been said that the first sunglasses were first used in China in the 12th century, possibly even earlier. Ancient documents described the use of such glasses by Chinese judges to hide their facial expressions when they interrogated witnesses. Roman emperor Nero also was known to watch gladiator flights through such polished gems. Back then, they looked far from the modern shades that we are familiar with. Instead, they looked more like flattened panes of quartz fixed to spectacles. Unlike modern shades, they did not offer any protection from harmful UV rays nor any corrective powers, though they did protect eyes from glare. It was not until the late 20s that they were produced for the masses, with polarized sunglasses hitting the market in the mid 30s.
BRINGING RETRO BACK
Sunglasses with round frames perfectly exude a retro feel, fitting perfectly with current trends that move towards all things vintage. The round frames are guaranteed to provide you with a vintage look that has a hint of eccentricity, yet keeps you looking versatile enough to complement any kinds of occasions, from casual to formal and anything in between. With many brands mixing retro finds with futuristic designs and funky colours, the guys can definitely have some fashion fun with these round accessories. Also, since these types of frames do not typically take up the entire face (as oversized ones too), facial features can be accentuated, giving a softer look overall.
