Why Reading Tube Glasses Are A Hot Fashion Accessory
When Oprah recommended a pair of high-fashion reading tube glasses to her audience, it was proof that they’re not just convenient, but a hip, hot fashion accessory on par with the latest designer handbags. It may seem odd that reading glasses have suddenly become cool – but the baby boomers are getting older, their eyes are growing weaker, and so it’s only natural that reading glasses would become an item that get’s the upscale treatment from designers.
The great thing about these types of eyeglasses is their convenience. The frames are designed to be ultra-slender, and to fit in very small tube-shaped carrying case, which is where they get their name. Mostly worn by women, the cases come in a wide variety of fashionable colors and styles, from sleek black and tortoise-shell to wild, bright metallics. Some of the tubes have floral designs or are even covered in leather. The attractive cases and small size make them ideal for carrying in a small purse for an evening out, allowing you to discreetly read the menu or scan the program at a Broadway show, then easily slip them back into a handbag.
And they really are small – the cases are only slightly thicker than a tube of lipstick or mascara, and are attractive enough to be an accessory in their own right. After Oprah showed them to her audience and added them to her website’s “O List” of recommended products, sales have boomed, making them the new must-have item for fashion-forward women who need reading glasses.
They can easily be found online in different prescription strengths and are quite affordable – which means that you can buy them in pink, black, gold and leather to match your outfit or your handbag. Some even come with a clip, like on a pen, so they can be secured in a short pocket, as well.
