Taking Care Of Vintage Specs

By Karina Heimann


These days, eyeglasses are no longer something that geeks and nerds would wear. These things have also conquered the world of fashion since many are saying that smart has now become the new sexy. This is now one of accessories that people use with the outfit. A very popular kind of eyeglass that many are using these days are vintage specs.

Also known as retro eyeglasses, these specs can sometimes be characterized as big glasses with thick rims. These rims are usually metallic, black, or leopard print. Some types are rimless. The shape can be hexagonal, rectangular, round, or oval. Popular retro glasses are the horn rim, cat eye, prince nez, and tortoiseshell glasses.

When you have a mens vintage eyewear, take very good care with it. Eyeglasses are not that strong and can break when the owner is not careful. To care for it, cleaning is very important to help it keep the glass clear and free from dirt. The best thing you can use is the microfiber cloth since other materials can scratch the glass.

For stains, a simple cleaning solution that is a mixture of soap and water can be an effective cleaning agent. If you want something more convenient to use, you can buy an eyeglass cleanser. Never use any type of cleaning product. This is because it may contain chemicals that are very harsh.

To keep these mens vintage accessories safe, owners are usually given a hard case. This is where they can store their glasses when not in use. This offers protection especially when you will place the glasses in your bag. Straps are also very handy to have around. This will prevent the glasses from falling when you will bend down.

One reason why your glasses could become deformed or broken is when you will just place it anywhere. This habit is greatly discouraged for someone might accidentally sit or step on it. Always place the glasses in a safe place especially if you before sleeping or before taking a bath so they will not be misplaced.

Over time, you will feel like your glasses have become very loose. This is natural for the screws tend to loosen up over time. To correct this, you can use a screwdriver to tighten the screws so your glasses will once again be a perfect fit.

These vintage specs make looking smart sexy and cool. This is a type of eyeglass that would be perfect for fashion forward people. This allows you to look smart without looking dowdy.
