Hippie glasses John blue

The blue John hippie glasses are round retro glasses with blue-tinted lenses in a thin silver-colored frame with black tips on the temples. Such small round glasses with colored lenses belong to the hippies of the 60s, when long hair, floral prints and peace signs colored the streets. Women and men put them on for a 60s party or a flower power party and immediately get into that mood.

How do blue-tinted glasses differ from regular sunglasses?

Blue-tinted glasses like these mainly color your look, while dark sunglasses mainly hide your eyes. Due to the light tint, your eyes remain visible behind the round lenses, and that fits the open, cheerful face of flower power. The model bears the name John, a nod to the round glasses that musicians made popular in the 60s. So choose these glasses if you want to show off the retro shape and the color, not if you want to hide behind dark lenses.

The round glasses at a flower power or disco party

For a flower power party, you put on the glasses with long hair with a middle part and a braided headband around your head. A blouse or shirt with a large floral print makes the contrast with the blue lenses stronger. If you are going to a disco party, the thin silver-colored frame matches a shiny shirt or an outfit with glitter. Keep your other accessories simple, so that the blue lenses remain the center of your face.
