The Retropunk steampunk glasses are round plastic glasses with gold-colored rims, grey lenses and a brown strap, for a retro-futuristic costume look. They evoke the world of steam engines, copper gears and inventors who take to the skies in their own devices. Women and men wear them during Carnival or at a themed party, on the nose or pushed up onto the forehead.
How these plastic glasses are constructed
- The two round lenses have a grey tint and are each set in a wide, gold-colored rim.
- Behind those rims are dark brown eye cups, making gold and brown together evoke the colours of old copper.
- A brown strap goes around your head and keeps the glasses in place.
- The glasses are intended for women and men.
- The material is 50% ABS, 35% polyethylene methacrylate and 15% polyester.
- You receive the glasses from the Boland brand, attached to a hangtag.
How do plastic glasses differ from regular party glasses?
Plastic glasses like the Retropunk steampunk glasses have no temples behind your ears, but a strap around your head and lenses that sit deep in round eye cups. In the image of the steam era, such glasses belong to machinists, airship pilots and inventors, who protected their eyes against dust, soot and sparks. Because the strap holds the glasses, you can also wear them up on your forehead, just like those inventors do. If you want glasses that remain an accessory above your face, then plastic glasses are the logical choice.
A recognisable inventor around the gold-colored glasses
With the glasses pushed up on the forehead and a velvet jacket or a jacket in a distressed leather look, the retro-futuristic inventor is immediately complete. Men finish it off with a top hat and a belt with a buckle diagonally across the chest. Women choose a striped corset, a lace jabot or a velvet choker with a medallion in the shape of a gear. Stick to the colours burgundy, brown and gold, then everything matches the rims of the glasses.
Choose the Retropunk steampunk glasses and your inventor look for Carnival or a themed party is instantly recognisable.
