The classic retro steampunk glasses are party glasses with round, dark-tinted lenses in a gold-colored frame with a wavy, openwork edge. Wear them with a velvet blouse, a waistcoat with a pocket watch, or a top hat, and your Victorian costume will instantly get a golden accent around the eyes. The glasses are intended for women and men and fit a steampunk-style theme party or a costume party.
The golden frame and the dark lenses
- Around each lens runs a wavy golden edge with small round openings, making the frame look like fine lace.
- The lenses are round and dark-tinted.
- On both temples, there is a small golden bow near the hinge as decoration.
- The thin temples are also gold-colored.
- The glasses are made of 60% polycarbonate and 40% polymethyl methacrylate.
- The model is suitable for women and men.
How do these classic glasses differ from a goggle with shutters?
Classic glasses with temples leave your face free, while goggles with a leather strap and side shutters cover a large part of your face. In the Victorian science fiction style, those goggles represent the inventor and the machinist, the workshop side of the theme. These round glasses with a decorative edge fit the refined side: the lady in velvet or the gentleman in a waistcoat and jacket. So choose them if your costume needs to look elegant and you want to keep your face and hairstyle visible.
How to build a complete outfit around the golden glasses
For women, the glasses work well with a brown or black velvet blouse with a bow at the neck, a corset, and dark red lipstick, so that the gold of the frame is reflected in a warm color scheme. Men combine them with a waistcoat, a pocket watch chain, and a top hat for the look of a Victorian traveler. If you want to wear them at a costume party, pair them with a shiny gold or velvet suit, then the openwork edge will stand out even more.
