The eyewear community is divided into two groups- those who think wearing glasses is a responsibility, and those who think it is an opportunity. And with so many styles available these days, the opportunities are endless! A little background about me, I have been wearing glasses since I was a kid and have tried everything - titanium, acetate, stainless steel, etc. But my favourite - and the most unique and refreshing style these days - is wooden glasses.
The wooden glasses have this raw and organic appeal that blends well with all kinds of outfits. From professional and elegant to casual and trendy - there are so many styles to choose from. The beautiful natural grains and authentic texture make them unique and stylish, but there is more to it. In this blog, let’s explore 5 reasons to go for wooden glasses.
1. Eco-friendly Choice
When you are choosing wooden glasses, you are making a conscious choice that’s eco-friendly. Every action you take to replace a plastic product with an environmentally friendly one helps to lessen your carbon footprint. Wood is one of the most environmentally friendly materials, especially when it's supplied sustainably.
Wooden frames need a lot less energy to make and manufacture than cheap glasses made of plastic. That’s the reason we don’t use plastic in any of our frames - we use acetate instead, which is a plant-based material and much more eco-friendly than plastic.
2. It Does Not Contain Any Harmful Products
Wood is naturally sturdy; it doesn't require much processing, if any, in order to create a pair of eyeglasses. To put it another way, they're all-natural. When plastic frames are manufactured, the production and processing of several materials to generate the final product might result in a few environmentally damaging pollutants. Since wood is a natural material, it is unlikely to cause any allergies or reactions. Some of the other hypoallergenic materials for glasses you can get are acetate and metal. You can wear these glasses for long periods without any discomfort, even if you have sensitive skin.
3. Grains and Texture
Glasses with wooden frames have a texture that can’t be replicated in other frames. The highlight of these glasses is the natural grains across their surface. Whether it is the more common ebony brown glasses or edgy black ones, their spots, stripes, and patterns are very eye-catching. Each pair of wooden glasses is unique in itself, and the design you will have will complement you beautifully.
4. Comfortable, Lightweight and Durable
When you put on a pair of wooden frames, you'll realise that they're noticeably more comfortable to wear. They are incredibly lightweight, providing excellent comfort that allows long day wear without experiencing any strain or pain on the nasal bridge or around the ears.
