Top 12 Hipster Eyewear Choices

As the weather gets warmer, music festivals begin popping up all over the country. If you live in one of the lucky towns with these festivals, you may notice a swarm of hipsters crawling around your city, nature calling them to their natural habitat.

There are multiple ways to spot a hipster: messenger bag, skinny jeans, cans of PBR in hand, and most importantly, some sort of eyewear.

If you want to know for sure that you are in the presence of a hipster, we have compiled a list of eyewear you can use to compare. Or, if you dare to venture out to the music festival and immerse yourself in the hipster subculture (for academic purposes of course), you may want to outfit yourself with one or two of these frames.

Top 6 Hipster Sunglasses

1. The RayBan RB2140 Original Wayfarer Sunglasses are a hipster favorite. We’re not sure how Ray-Bans became so popular among hipsters — maybe it’s because early Ray-Bans were first designed for military personal, and that history was too ironic for hipsters to pass up. Available in all types of colors and prints, 50% of hipsters will surely be wearing these types of shades.
2. Another classic hipster style is the clubmaster, for example the Shuron Escapades Sunglasses for men. Known for their retro-style frames, Shuron doesn’t disappoint with these sunglasses. The Mauve version with flower details on the frame front and temples in particular completes the skinny jeans look.
3. Thought you saw someone wearing a nice pair of 3D glasses? They were probably just the Electric CB4 Sunglasses, which are almost a costume-like pair of frames. Of course, don’t mention they look like 3D glasses—the hipster will give you a detailed explanation about the problem with 3D movies based on an article she read in The New Yorker.
4. For some bright neon color, try the Yipes Crystal version of the Von Zipper Spazz Sunglasses for women. In the form of an oversized, modified cat-eye, these sunglasses give the wearer personality and character. Even though a hipster will wear them, she won’t spazz out about them because she’s too cool to get excited about anything.


D&G DD3060 Sunglasses

5. When not wearing t-shirts with ironic sayings or their favorite band, hipsters adorn the plaid uniform. With the Check on Brown version of the D&G DD3060 Sunglasses for men, the plaid theme can appear on their eyewear as well. Don’t let the hypnotizing lines of the plaid distract you though — you don’t want to miss the hipster telling you about the latest album he got on vinyl.
6. Aviators are another sunglasses style hipsters like to pretend they knew about before they were cool. Carrera presents a slightly modified aviator in the form of the Carrera 15/S Sunglasses. The electric blue hues of these frames draw hipsters to them like their iPhone is drawn to the Instagram app.

Top 6 Hipster Eyeglasses

1. Bright orange is the theme of the Mikli ML0946 Eyeglasses. Not only does the color stand out but so does the pattern, giving the acetate a textured look. Don’t ask about them though — the hipster will be offended that you didn’t read about them on her Tumblr.
2. Boxy, oversized eyeglasses that look like they came out of a photo from the 70s are another sign of a hipster. If you didn’t know the frames were the Von Zipper Beg Borrow Steal Eyeglasses for men, you might assume that the hipster borrowed them from his father. In fact, you could probably compare photos from then and now, and they would probably be pretty similar, down to the thick mustache.
3. Shuron also made this list with the Shuron Nulady Clear Bridge Eyeglasses for women. Coming in flirty pinks and beiges, these cat-eyed frames are very distinct with the unconnected brow on the top of the frame front that extends to the temples. Heads of hipster boys will turn as the hipster girls ring their bike bells, riding past in the boys in these sweet frames.
4. For the hipster about to perform in a festival show, small rectangles are the easiest style to prove he isn’t trying too hard. The John Varvatos V336 Eyeglasses for men provide simplicity with their thin, textured temples. John Varvatos, known for the fashion of musicians, makes them ideal for complimenting a banjo, tuba and tap shoes.


Ray-Ban RX RX6049 Eyeglasses

5. Of course Ray-Ban also made our eyeglasses list with the Ray-Ban RX RX6049 Eyeglasses. These wire-rimmed frames, a different take on the classic aviator sunglasses style, give hipsters another option for a pair of oversized frames. In these frames, the hipster can stereotypically judge others with her knowledge of some obscure band no one else has heard.
6. Nothing says hipster like an old, faded t-shirt from Goodwill complimenting a high-quality pair of eyeglasses like the Persol PO3007V Eyeglasses. Ask the hipster about the frames and, in the most pretentious way possible, he will spout out a whole explanation about the Meflecto system on the temples of the frames, which is Persol’s patented technology for eliminating temple pressure. In addition, these eyeglasses come with the option of a clip-on, so you might see him taking the Persol PO3007C Clip-On on and off when he goes in and out of music venues.

Rimless Eyeglasses: Where Fashion Meets Minimalism

Can you imagine a time when eyeglasses weren’t fashionable? They weren’t in the late 1880s. In an effort to make eyeglasses less conspicuous, rimless eyeglasses were born.

Little did the inventors know that rimless eyeglasses would become a fashion statement in the future. One of the first people to popularize the style was Theodore Roosevelt during his time as president in the early 20^th century.

While rimless glasses have moved in and out of fashion since then, their most recent popularity has come about because of a few high-profile individuals. During the 2008 Presidential Election, Sarah Palin wore a pair of rimless, rectangular-shaped, titanium frames, similar to the Silhouette Rimless 7633 Intarsia Eyeglasses and the Tag Heuer Reflex 3101 Eyeglasses. Steve Jobs also made rimless glasses iconic with a pair of round lenses, similar to the Savile Row Round Diaflex Rimless (Steve Jobs) (OSRR3) Eyeglasses.

What attracts these two individuals and others to this style? In addition to the fashion aspect, there are a few benefits to wearing rimless frames. Most rimless glasses weigh less than other glasses because they have less material. In addition, the rims aren’t obstructing your view, making it easier to see more.

Rimless frames also let your natural beauty shine through as they create the illusion of a symmetrical face. They bring more focus to your face and eyes and less to your eyeglasses with a minimalistic and subtle look. Wearers feel more confident because the frames make them look more mature.

Recent years have seen rimless frames evolve with new technologies for mounting lenses to frames. An important thing to note when selecting rimless frames is to make sure that you choose a polycarbonate or (1.67) Hi index lens material because these materials are strong enough to work with rimless frames. A plastic lens material tends to crack and break easily, which is why it’s not a good choice.

Many people choose rimless because the frames make them appear more mature, intelligent and trustworthy. The following eyeglasses from some of the top rimless brands are a little more conservative than most frames:

Shuron Regis I Eyeglasses – Known for their retro-style eyeglasses, Shuron offers classic frames with these small, oval and rimless lenses.

Savile Row Oval Diaflex Rimless (OSRR1) Eyeglasses – These authentic British rimless eyeglasses come in versions with a layer of rolled 14kt gold followed by a layer of rolled 24kt gold on the frames.

Silhouette Rimless Starways Eyeglasses – These women’s frames prove that a conservative, rimless style can still have personality with crystals on the temples.

While rimless eyeglasses may not be what you would think of for a sporting event, you can find some pretty durable rimless frames. The following eyeglasses were made for someone who plays sports and has an active lifestyle:

Tag Heuer L-Type 0120 Eyeglasses – Luxury and sporty combine in these rimless frames with leather temples and soft elastomer lining inside the temples for optimal comfort.

Oakley Evade Eyeglasses – These men’s frames come with lightweight titanium temples and Unobtainium temple tips that provide comfort and improve their grip with sweat.

Prada Sport 56BV Eyeglasses – Don’t let the Prada logo fool you—these frames, being part of a sporty collection from the high-end luxury brand, are perfect for someone with an active lifestyle.

Since rimless eyeglasses have increased in popularity, rimless frames have gained more of a fashion element, taking advantage of color, texture and embellishments. The following eyeglasses come from some of the top brands in fashionable eyewear:

Ray-Ban RX RX8680 Eyeglasses – Nothing combines fashion and innovation quite like Ray-Ban, which is why these titanium frames for men are more than just another rimless pair—they are the lightest frames Ray-Ban has ever created.

Dolce & Gabbana DG1218 Eyeglasses – Part of the lace collection with lace inlaid by hand on the temples, these women’s frames bring a new level of sophistication to a rimless frame.

Ralph Lauren RL5066 Eyeglasses – As with all Ralph Lauren frames, this rimless pair defines American luxury with the iconic Ralph Lauren Polo player and stirrup details.

Giorgio Armani Precious Materials Sunglasses Collection

Indulge in luxury with only the finest of materials—exotic leather finishes, Indian water buffalo horn and 22-carat gold to be exact—with the Giorgio Armani Precious Materials Sunglasses Collection.

Giorgio Armani eyewear has always been known for its combination of luxury and exclusive details, and these new frames are no exception. Handcrafted to perfection, the styles are as unique as the materials.

Textured exotic leather covers the temples and top brow bar of the Giorgio Armani 902/S Sunglasses for women. For a minimalistic frame, these sunglasses come with careful detailing, making them highly unique. For example, the slender top brow bar, rolled in leather, has the illusion of being lightly placed on top of the frames, giving the sunglasses an airy, feminine feel.

For a larger style of frames, the women’s Giorgio Armani 905/S Sunglasses come in a combination of optyl and leather. Optyl, an ultra-lightweight, durable, hypoallergenic material that can adapt to the wearer’s face in high temperatures, provides comfort and fit as the frame front. The galuchat leather finishes on the temples complete the frames, providing quality and texture.

For a different type of finer finish, men will be interested in the Giorgio Armani 769/G/V/S Sunglasses, which take exclusivity to a whole new level. These aviator frames come plated in 5-micron thick 22-carat gold. They also proudly display the prominent natural Indian water buffalo horn piece on the top brow bar. Temple tips, also made of the buffalo horn, complete the sunglasses.

Because the sunglasses in the Precious Materials collection were so well received, Giorgio Armani has since release three additional frames with exotic leather finishes: the Giorgio Armani 903/S Sunglasses, the Giorgio Armani 904/S Sunglasses and the Giorgio Armani 934/F/S Sunglasses.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to wear any of these exotic pieces!

Musicians Rock Versace Sunglasses

Looking for something to wear for your next music video? Try the Versace VE2120 Sunglasses. But only the Gold version. Celebrities don’t wear the Silver version. At least Lady Gaga, Omarion, Kid Cudi, Ciara, Flo-Rida and Cyhi Da Prynce don’t.

All of these musicians, including the men in these sunglasses originally intended for women, claim the Gold Versace VE2120 Sunglasses as a bold fashion statement.

So why these sunglasses?

To begin, the inspiration behind the sunglasses in the collection is actress January Jones, the face of Versace accessories, who is known for her fashion-forward choices.

These cat-eyed frames look different from traditional sunglasses, and they look even more different from traditional cat-eyes. The lens shape is highly unique, forming to the shape of the bridge. The combination of the lens and frame front looks like two wings, which can give a whole new meaning to the idea of leading with your best asset but instead letting that asset lead and fly away with you.

Probably the best feature of these sunglasses is that the iconic Versace Medusa head, bolted through the lens in the top corners, has the illusion of traveling through the air. Going along with the flying motif, when viewed from the side, the gold or silver of the temples looks like wind left behind by Medusa.

The details on these Versace sunglasses give them a beauty and complexity that make the frames popular with so many celebrities.

Vuarnet Sunglasses – Don’t Call it a Comeback

Quality never goes out of style and the new collection of Vuarnet Sunglasses illustrates this perfectly. Between the 1960′s and the 1990′s Vuarnet was synonymous with top-quality and stylish eyewear for the outdoor athlete. They were made popular by their namesake, skier Jean Vuarnet, but were soon ubiquitous in the world of downhill skiing, snowboarding, boating, and almost any other outdoor activity. In fact, Corey Shapiro, competitive skier, sunglass aficionado, and blogger remembers that “all the coolest dudes on the ski hill were wearing . . . Vuarnet Sunglasses.”

Vuarnet’s popularity skyrocketed and reached an unbelievable pinnacle when, during the 1984 Olympics, the radio station DJs would refer to the best days of The Games as “Vuarnet Days.” The 1990′s introduced Vuarnet to surfers on the west coast and made an even bigger name for itself in the water-sport scene when it sponsored the America’s Cup in 1995. Vuarnet has remained on the eyewear scene and has been working on developing new and improved lenses and frames that are made not just for the extreme sports enthusiast but for the Urban Adventurer as well.

One of Vuarnet’s new lenses is the Citylynx lens which is a revolutionary lens crafted to provide visual comfort perfectly suited for life in an urban environment. These lenses are perfect for both fashion-minded urbanites on the go or and for those extreme urban athletes who practice the art of parkour. The Citylynx lens brings the style and quality of Vuarnet off of the ski slopes and down into the Urban Jungle.

Vuarnet is proud of its new lens technology, but it is also proud of its newest designs and styles. Vuarnet is not just a sports brand but an actual lifestyle that combines tradition, comfort, modernity, and fashion. The new styles range from retro wayfarer designs and new takes on aviators to modern wraparounds and unique playful designs.

The new Vuarnet collection will be sold in the United States exclusively with FramesDirect.com, so the quality will run straight through from the service right to the brand new Vuarnet frames and lenses. Outdoor sports fanatics, urban adventurers, and fashionistas alike can now join FramesDirect.com and Vuarnet to fulfill Vuarnet’s goal to have everyone enjoy life everyday.
