How to choose?
A well-chosen model of retro glasses will help you create an amazing and unique look. This applies to products for eyesight and sunscreen models. The shade of the frame also matters a lot. So, When choosing products in retro style, stylists recommend paying attention to the following tips:
- narrow glasses, which “sit” on the bridge of the nose, visually increase the size of the nose - in the absence of harmonious proportions of the face, it is advisable to “lower” the accessory a little to the middle of the nose;
- retro style glasses, whose frames are painted in black, silver or beige, are suitable for fair-haired people, redheads should pay attention to red and purple frames, brunettes will suit glasses with gray or golden colors;
- the accessory should not cover the eyebrows, otherwise the glasses will look bulky and ridiculous;
- owners of graceful features should pay attention to the thin frame; people with a round face and expressive facial features can choose a voluminous accessory.

Retro style glasses should be of high quality and convenience... You need to purchase an accessory in a trusted optics store. The product must have quality certificate and warranty card... Too low cost of the product should be alarming. Quality glasses in retro style are of high price... You should not contact dubious "resellers". A poor-quality product can cause irreparable harm to health and seriously impair eyesight.
Taking care of your accessory is pretty simple. The retro glasses are kept in a case and wiped with a special dry napkin. It is not recommended to clean products using household detergents. As for the restoration and repair of products, these processes must be carried out by a specialist.
A master who is engaged in the restoration of glasses can also give a "second life" to products that have a long service life and, at first glance, are out of fashion.
