glasses frame shape

A type of glasses with frames that are shaped like an inverted trapezoid.

Although it is called an inverted trapezoid, it is somewhat closer to a square, and the one that is closer to a rectangle is called a Parisian.

The shape of the eyeglass frames is relatively orthodox, and the designs of the temples and bridges are often simple and not overly assertive, making them easy to match with the shallowly carved faces of Japanese people.

It also gives an authentic impression to what you see, so it's great to wear it with a casual jacket!

In Japan, the main characters in the 1956 film ``Season of the Sun'' wore Wellington-type sunglasses, which had a great influence on youth culture at the time.

Perhaps because of this background, until a while ago Wellingtons had the image of being worn by old men, but with the recent revival of 1980s fashion, they are once again attracting attention.

Many of Johnny Depp's glasses are Wellington type glasses, which, combined with his unique sex appeal, enhances his ``adult man'' personality.

The Boston type is a rounded inverted triangular frame shape.

It was used by intellectuals during the Taisho and early Meiji periods, so it has a somewhat nostalgic and romantic feel to it.

At that time, the mainstream type was a metal frame with cell wrapping, but this technology has not been passed down and is rarely seen today.

There have been many revival booms in the past, including the 80's, and Boston has been released all together.

There was a time when Boston was synonymous with metal frames, but in recent years they have hardly been featured, and most of the designs are small.

The eyebrow-like frames were actually eyebrows.

This shape is said to have been created in the United States in the 1950s for people called Officer Monto who were worried about thin eyebrows.

He is respectfully called Sir Mont. A true story that may seem like a lie, but that's where the eyebrow-like cell frames come from.

Metal parts are mainly used for the bridge, and the engravings on them are also a focal point.

Those round glasses that John Lennon wears.

However, it is actually not a perfect circle.

It appears round due to an optical illusion.

The person who wears it chooses it because of its simple and unique design, but on the other hand, it has the effect of highlighting the individuality of one's facial features.

In the past, round glasses were common due to the lack of processing technology and the ability to insert round lenses into frames without cutting them.

It was favored by many scholars and writers from the Meiji period to the early Showa period. There are many enthusiastic fans probably because of its unique shape.

These glasses have oval lenses, and are characterized by being round but short in width from top to bottom.

The oval design is especially popular among women because it blends well with the face and gives a gentle impression.

Additionally, since the edges of the lenses form a line close to the eyes, it can be expected to be effective in concealing bags and dark circles under the eyes.

For men, it has the effect of softening a strong face, softening the contours of squares and diamonds.

Due to its orthodox shape, there are many variations.

Among oval types, you can enjoy designs that match your facial features and fashion, such as wide oval, which has a frame with a wide vertical width, and oval feminine, which has a plump, feminine roundness.

Eyewear designed in square or rectangular shapes.

When you say square type, there are various types such as narrow square, square feminine, and octagon.

Among these, the square shape refers to a type with a rectangular and slim shape.

It is a typical shape of current fashion, with thick edges and side frames and dark colors.

The Japanese face, which has a lower profile than Westerners, has an impact by emphasizing the horizontally elongated eyes.

This type of glass is called ``eggplant-shaped,'' and typical sunglasses include Ray-Ban and American Optical sunglasses. Commonly known as Taresan.

This name is said to have come from the oval shape that hangs down from the pad.

These sunglasses were worn by General MacArthur of the U.S. Army when he landed at Atsugi Naval Air Station after World War II.

Since then, it has become widely known.

This type became popular in Japan in the 1970s, and was loved by people such as Yusaku Matsuda. Recently, it has been attracting attention again due to the revival fashion boom.

Thermont is also collectively referred to as the brow type, but this mainly refers to the eyebrow area where the brow and bridge bar are bar-shaped.

It emphasizes the eyes and gives a strong impression, so it is effective for making glasses the focal point of your coordination.

If it has a metal frame, it will make you look even cooler.

Its casualness is also part of its charm.

A half rim, in which the rim supports only half of the lens.

The other half is supported using nylon thread, also known as nyroll.

If you are looking for a simple look and a casual look, go for this, or go for an oval.

I also hate the fact that it has always maintained stable popularity while keeping a distance from recent trends.

Sometimes it's the strength of the push that speaks volumes.

A type of half-rim, with a rim placed on the bottom half of the lens. That's why it's sometimes called reverse nyroll.

There are many variations in terms of lens shape, frame material, etc., but many models have a relatively strong impact, so if you have a unique personality that can stand up to them, we recommend giving them a try.

As you can see, it is so called because the lens is fixed at two points: the bridge and the temple.

It is also called rimless because there is no rim.

It has become a hot topic since Masaharu Fukuyama wore it in a popular drama, and has strong support from women around the world who prefer men with glasses. If you're aiming for a delicate mood, go for it.

A must-have balancer in the world of glasses.

A frame made from a combination of two materials.

Most of them are a combination of plastic and metal, and you can see models that combine the strengths of both well and have an excellent sense of balance. It shows different expressions depending on the viewing angle, so it has the appeal of not being limited to any occasion or coordination. The second one is also recommended.

The type is called ``Zamasu Glasses'' or ``Secretary Glasses'' due to its shape that hangs upward.

The Fox type, which is intelligent but has a somewhat hysterical and devilish impression, has been worn by musicians and actresses since the 1950s as a classic icon of coquettish women.
