Black Framed Glasses

If you’re looking for a classic style that evokes cool confidence, you can’t go wrong with a pair of black framed glasses. These glasses became an iconic look when Buddy Holly rocked them in the 1950s and have been worn ever since.

Black eyeglass frames offer a hipster, vintage feel that can be formal when worn with a suit or nice dress, but can also be worn down with a pair of slacks and a t-shirt. With black-framed glasses, the styling options are limitless.

Black Framed Glasses at an Affordable Price

You don’t have to pay exorbitant prices for a pair of black framed glasses. Designer brands inflate prices due to the Luxottica monopoly, which owns 80% of major sunglass brands. This allows them to control prices, keeping an inflated markup of 1000%. 

Instead of shopping designer, opt for purchasing quality black eyeglass frames at an affordable price from retailers like WMP Eyewear. Our eyeglasses are made from the same quality materials as designer glasses but don’t come with a hefty markup. While you’d spend $200+ for a pair of frames that are designer, our frames start at $39 or less (before the prescription).

Blue Light Blocking Glasses with Black Frames

Blue light is a type of light on the visible light spectrum that vibrates around 380 to 500 nanometers. This light comes from the sun but also emits from digital screens on cell phones, laptops, and tablets. Similar to UV light, exposure to blue light over a long period can cause problems like macular degeneration, cataracts, and eye strain.

Blue light-blocking glasses are made with a filter that absorbs blue light, relieving digital eye strain. This can be helpful to wear when you’re working all day or at night looking at your phone (anytime you’re outside, wear UV-blocking sunglasses instead).

If you wear prescription glasses and want to protect yourself from the side effects of blue light, opt for a blue-light-blocking filter made with full resin saturation technology. You can add this to a prescription lens on a pair of frames from WMP Eyewear during the “pick your lens” process.

How to Style Black Frame Glasses

Black eyeglasses work so well because they match anything. For this particular season, black is in, so wear your black frame glasses with a black or neutral t-shirt, paired with black shorts or a skirt. 

For women, wear nude or brown lipstick with your black glasses frames for an effortless look.

Classic Black Frames for Your Prescription

If you want to wear classic black frames similar to like Buddy Holly’s, opt for a thick acetate pair like Wesley. Featuring a strong browline, glossy black frame, and classic rectangular lenses, these bold glasses work for every occasion.

For a 60s take, go for black retro round glasses, vintage in feel like Tate. With a notched keyhole nose bridge, double-riveted browline, and thick circular style, this hipster essential is perfect for anyone with a square face shape who wants to soften their features.
