Gears, leather and brass: the world of the nineteenth-century machinist immediately comes to life with these goggles. The antique gold steampunk goggles are costume goggles with two round, dark lenses in a gold-coloured frame with a distressed antique look, designed for women and men at a festival, themed party or costume party.
What do the antique gold steampunk goggles look like?
- Two round, dark-tinted lenses are set in wide rims that extend over the sides of your eyes.
- The frame has a gold-coloured, slightly worn finish and a row of small pointed studs on the sides.
- The black woven strap with plastic sliders goes around your head, so you can wear the goggles on your nose or on top of a top hat.
- The frame is made of 55% ABS and 35% polycarbonate, with 10% polyester for the strap.
- Suitable for adult women and men.
The history of goggles
Goggles date back to the era of the first engines, airships and steam engines: riders and machinists protected their eyes with round lenses in sturdy rims. This shape became the hallmark of the retro-futuristic style in which Victorian fashion and fantasy technology come together, which is why you see it at festivals, fantasy fairs and themed parties. While modern party glasses aim for shine and mirror effects, this model is all about the lived-in, distressed brass look. Are you torn between this antique gold version and a solid, shiny gold-coloured model? Choose this one if your outfit is brown, black and leather-like, as the worn finish matches it better.
Styling tips with accessories
Wear the goggles on your nose or slide them up against the brim of a top hat, just as can be seen in the photos. Combine them with bronze-coloured cameo earrings, a black choker, studded gloves and a pocket watch on a chain. A stripe of dark makeup or a few grey-brown streaks on the cheeks enhances the impression of soot and machine oil.
