Our glasses are precious and are part of our clothing. Whether they are prescription glasses, reading glasses, or sunglasses, we must protect them and take care of them to avoid scratching the lenses or breaking the arms.
Soprattutto when we are used to carrying them in a bag, in a pocket, or leaving them in the car, it is essential to pay attention to how we store them.Not to mention when we don't know where to put them, and risk placing them who knows where and forgetting them.
Today we talk about the different types of glasses holders and how they can also become fashion accessories that give us a distinctive style.
Glasses chain or chain for glasses?
Meanwhile, let's start with one of the accessories that has gone through many phases. Often associated with an advanced age, the glasses chain is experiencing a new life and various brands are rediscovering this accessory not only for its utility, but also for a matter of style.
The glasses chain helps especially those who need to use different lenses to see up close and far away, or who do not have a constant need to wear glasses.
It allows you to have your hands free and never forget them!
There are different models, from the simple cord to other more elaborate and precious models that can be considered true jewels.
For those who want to add a touch of color to their look, there is an elaborate version of the classic cord that attaches to the arms of the glasses, such as the rainbow glasses chain, lightweight and durable, that brightens even the most sober look and is suitable for all ages.
Design chains for glasses
A fashion house that has found original and fashionable solutions is the American LA LOOP. Specialized in high-end glasses chains, it was born from an intuition of the founder which, in 1999, kept losing her glasses around New York. In search of an original solution, she created her own company that has since grown and continues to produce elegant and useful glasses jewelry.
One of our favorite models is definitely the rubber model which, with its patented swivel zipper system, allows for the security of not losing the glasses.
In addition to this, the very elegant model in gold inspired by the “Youthquake” style of Edie Sedgwick, a true style icon of the 60s. Gold chains, and a ring that allows us to have the glasses always at hand.
Who said that the glasses necklace must only be an accessory and cannot be fashionable?
Glasses cases
Old but Gold! In situations where it is more difficult to be attentive to our precious objects, think for example of the sea or when we are out shopping, it is always advisable to have a glasses case available for proper protection from impacts and scratches.
There are different types, and almost always when we buy a pair we are given a case.
It's a pity, however, that many times we forget to take it with us, and then we leave the glasses without any protection around and exposed to every danger.
Hard glasses cases
Hard cases are definitely the best way to protect glasses. They protect from impacts, falls, and also serve to contain microfiber to clean them.
Soprattutto when we are used to keeping them in our bag, perhaps because they are our favorite sunglasses and we always have them with us when needed, it is advisable to have a hard case that protects them.
Not to mention that it is also easier to find inside a spacious bag!
Soft glasses cases
If instead we do not need a case that takes up too much space, perhaps because we have a small bag or because it is a pair of “battle” glasses, we can opt for a soft case. It does not protect from impacts and is not the best container for storing glasses, but it definitely protects from dust and weather agents that could damage the lenses.
Home glasses cases
Finally, who among us has never experienced that moment when we ask ourselves: “But where did I put them?”, and has spent hours searching for glasses around the house?
Having instead a place where glasses are usually kept allows us to find them easily and not to struggle for a long time. Not to mention that some home glasses cases are true decorative objects.
