No longer considered a purely corrective aid, eyeglasses are now looked at as a fashion statement that can instantly enhance a person’s appearance. One of today’s most popular, stylish eyewear trends for both men and women is black frame glasses. This classic style, which was popularized in the 1950s, has made a huge comeback. Actually, black glasses never really went out of style!
In this article, we’ll be answering all of your questions about black frame glasses, as well as showcasing GUNNAR’s most stylish blue light blocking glasses with black frames. Here are your questions answered.
Do black glasses look good on everyone?
Black glasses are a timeless staple and have seen more popularity than just about any other style of glasses—and for good reason! No matter your skin color, hair color, eye color, or style, black glasses have a way of looking good on anyone. Black glasses also tend to enhance people’s eyes, making them look brighter and more vibrant in contrast to the black frames.
Plus, unlike colored frames, black glasses go with just about any outfit. Thanks to their neutrality and versatility, you can wear black frame glasses on any occasion, from work to a fancy dinner.
Are black glasses too harsh?
There are a wide variety of black frame styles, including black circle glasses, black square glasses, thin black glasses, thick black glasses, and even black cat eye glasses. If you want a softer look, you can opt for a thinner frame or cat eye frame, whereas if you want a more bold look, you can choose a pair with a thicker frame.
Do black glasses make you look older?
One of the many great things about black glasses is that they work for people of any age. They miraculously make young people look a little bit older and wiser and older people a bit more hip and vibrant. Chunky black glasses, especially, are very trendy right now and give off a youthful energy. Whether you’re 18 or 80, you can find a pair of black frames that perfectly suit your desired look.
What kind of black glasses should you choose?
GUNNAR offers a variety of black frame glasses that will not only enhance your style, but also protect your eyes from digital eye strain and blue light exposure.
Blue light is widely used in modern screen technology to illuminate phones, laptops, computer screens, and TVs. Over time, excessive digital screen use and exposure to blue light can be harmful to your visual system and lead to symptoms like headaches, dry eyes, blurry vision, and disrupted sleep.
With GUNNAR glasses, you don’t have to choose between style and eye protection. You can have both! Our patented lens technology filters out harmful blue light, enhances focus, reduces dry eyes, minimizes glare, and reduces digital eye strain.
Let’s take a look at GUNNAR’s most popular black frame glasses so you can find the perfect pair for your needs and style. All of the glasses below are available with non-prescription or prescription lenses. You’ll also notice that most of the glasses below list “onyx” as the frame color. Onyx is a deep, rich black with a true black undertone—in other words, the blackest of blacks!
