Three Reasons Why Tortoise Shell Frames Are Always In Style
If you wear glasses, there’s a very high chance that you’ve owned a tortoise pair at one point. Tortoise shell frames have been one of the most enduring eyewear trends for decades.
Fashion experts say its popularity stems from the fact that it suits pretty much everyone and anyone.
- Its warm brown and amber colours will brighten darker skin tones and add a touch of light to the eyes.
- Tortoise is also a great softer option for fair skin types where black frames can prove to be a little too harsh.
- Plus, it’s a style that flatters both women and men. Why? Simple answer: because they mimic the appearance of real turtles and have a dotted look.
Here’s a fact that might keep you up at night – originally (not too long ago, in the 1920’s) they were made of real hawksbill turtle shells! Nowadays, Tortoise frames are mostly made of acetate.
Tortoise frames have been a fashion must-have for the past century, but the trend has evolved from its original colors. You will now find Tortoise in different shades of blue, red, green, grey, and the ever so popular Tokyo Tortoise.
