Steampunk goggles

Steampunk glasses for women and men, emblematic accessories of Victorian fashion.

Steampunk is a genre mixing different eras and therefore different styles. We find the aesthetic codes of the Victorian era in England (1837 - 1901), the Paris of the belle époque in France (1879 - 1914) and the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). The mixture of these eras gives a very particular retro futuristic style, specific to the steampunk universe.

In this universe, we find a wide range of clothing accessories to complete the steampunk costumes and in particular the famous pair of steampunk glasses. Different models of vintage glasses are available and proposed in our online store specialized in steampunk.

Steamers are generally aware of the myths associated with steampunk sunglasses, especially the famous syphilis glasses, which were prescribed to syphilitic patients who suffered from photophobia (sensitivity to light) when the disease reached their eyes. However, this rumor is probably a myth and not a past reality because no medical texts mention the prescription of sunglasses to treat photophobia in people suffering from syphilis.

The shapes of the frames and glasses evolved during the whole XIXth century. For example, at the beginning of the century, sunglasses were mostly equipped with round lenses. Between 1810 and 1830, oval lenses became more and more popular in America and rectangular lenses became popular in the 1840s with a return to oval lenses around 1850.

The steampunk glasses should therefore be inspired by these different models of the 19th century. Find these pairs of glasses in our store.
