Vintage Round Flip-Up Sunglasses - Oscar Wilde

Vintage round sunglasses with flip-up lenses

The Oscar Wilde vintage round sunglasses combine a thick circular frame with two tinted rings mounted on pivots. Each front lens lifts to reveal the clear base lens behind it. The construction creates a retro and steampunk look without presenting the pair as prescription eyewear or a historical reproduction.

Oscar Wilde is the style name used for the model’s dandy influence. These round vintage sunglasses are shown with the same design on a woman and a man, so the pair is presented as a unisex, one-size fashion accessory for a vintage or retro outfit.

Double lenses and flip-up mechanism

Two tinted rings on hinged pivots

The outer rings are hinged above the frame and can be raised separately. Hold each ring by its edge, avoid twisting it and stop when the small hinge reaches its natural limit.

Clear base lenses behind the tinted layer

Front and angled photographs show a clear lens beneath each flip-up tinted lens. No optical correction is stated, so the base lenses do not replace prescribed eyewear. The catalogue labels the lenses photochromic, but provides no measurement of automatic tint change; treat the six colours as fixed finishes.

Dimensions, materials and declared protection

Alloy frame and polycarbonate lenses

A matching supplier listing states an alloy frame and polycarbonate lenses, together with a UV400 attribute. No filter category, polarisation or protective standard is documented on this listing. Do not assign the pair a professional, sports or driving use that requires a specific certification.

49 x 50 mm lenses and fit

Each lens is stated as 49 mm wide and 50 mm high. Reliable overall width, bridge and temple measurements are not available. One historical review describes a narrow fit on a broad face; compare the photographs with a well-fitting frame and review the return conditions before ordering.

Choose from six finishes

Black frame with grey, pink, yellow or red

Four variants use a black frame: grey is the most restrained, pink creates a lighter contrast, yellow gives an amber tone and red is the strongest colour. Reflections change with lighting, so use the photograph linked to the selected option as the reference.

Leopard with tea or tea with tea

Leopard / Tea combines a mottled brown frame with tea-brown lenses. Tea / Tea uses a translucent red-brown frame and similarly toned lenses. These two finishes suit bronze, burgundy and brown clothing, while the black frames create a sharper outline.

Wear, care and checks before ordering

Clean the lenses and protect the pivots

Remove dust before using a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid solvents, store the pair away from scratches and lower the lenses without pressing their surfaces. Select a finish to check its photograph, current price and stock, then review the displayed customer reviews, payment, shipping and returns.
