How To Make a Fashion Statement With Your Tortoise Shell Glasses

Tortoise shell fashion glasses are making a comeback to revive the nostalgic vintage vibe that became popular in the 1920s. The eyewear features lustrous patterns resembling the mottled shell of a tortoise. Vint & York has an extensive collection of tortoise shell glasses you can purchase for your style. We stock an extensive collection of premium luxury fashion glasses and eyewear for women and men.

Ways To Make a Statement With Tortoise Shell Fashion Glasses

Tortoise shell glasses are a fashion statement, even without additional elements. In the past, the glasses featured authentic tortoise shells in the frame. The practice was outlawed to protect the endangered tortoise and turtle populations. Modern glasses feature plant-based acetate construction. At Vint & York, we have a robust collection of vintage and contemporary tortoise shell eyewear. Here are four ways you can use them to make a fashion statement: 

1. Choose a Matching Style

Tortoise shell fashion glasses come in various shapes, including square, round, rectangle, cat-eye, aviator, oval, and geometric. You can choose unique styles to match your personality and fashion. At Vint & York, we stock tortoise shell eyewear across all major categories and designs, from standard square to dramatic octagonal frames. Each shape and style suits different faces and outfits. You should choose glasses that match your style and face.

If you have a round face, square, oval, and round glasses may do the trick. People with heart-shaped faces can use round or cat-eye designs. The goal is to find tortoise shell glasses that accentuate your appearance and aesthetics. You should also pick glasses that match your closet and accessories. Vint & York has enough options to help you find the perfect match for every occasion, including casual and office settings.

2. Find the Right Frame Color

You need the right glass color to make a fashion statement. Warm colors like red, yellow, orange, and magenta are perfect for daytime and summer use. Colors like pastels and metallic might work but are more suited to cooler temperatures. Vint & York collections come in various colors, including black, clear, brown, white, red, and green. You can find unique patterns resembling the natural markings of a mottled tortoise shell.

Glass colors can match other accessories and outfits you have on. Our fashion glasses feature quality finishing and crisp yellow, gold, and honey hues characteristic of tortoise shells. You can find unique colors for all styles and designs, so don't worry if you fancy minimalist aviator or semi-rimmed glasses. Harmonizing the colors and stylistic details is the simplest way to make a fashion statement with our glasses

3. Go for Tinted Lenses

Glasses can provide a clean, elegant look for different occasions, but tinted lenses are all the rage. Tints have become trendy among celebrities and other high-fashion wearers. The shades are added to the lens so they don't affect the style or shape. You can use tinted lenses on all types of tortoise shell glasses. Our collections come in warm hues like red, orange, and yellow. 

We also have pastels, magenta, and metallic tints. Our glasses offer a modern style with a vintage retro feel common in the music festival culture. You can find oversized frames with tortoise shell markings or minimalist aviator-style glasses like our Jitterbug style.

Our collection features a wide range of luxury glasses with high-quality construction and finish. You can match tints and frames for an even look that blends in with your skin and accessories.

4. Get a Fitting Size

Making a fashion statement with glasses that don't fit perfectly can be daunting.

You need fitting glasses with all dimensions and components optimized for your needs. Look for the right frame size and design, especially for oversized tortoise shell glasses. Your glasses may fall off or look awkward if you don't choose a good fit for your face. Your corrective lens prescription can help you determine the size of lenses that may work best for you.

You can find functional lenses that protect you from UV rays and enhance your vision. Prescription glasses offer precise measurements and recommendations. You can leverage our app to see how the glasses will look on you. Our collection provides quality, durable, aesthetic glasses, but you need to order the correct size/measurements. You can find premium tortoise shell glasses perfect for driving, sports, and other activities.
