# Wooden Hipster Eyewear These Fake Wooden Glasses by Vintage Optical Shop are Stylish By Cody Turner | Published 2012-10-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-glasses References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/79610127/nos-beautiful-redwood-vintage-mens?ref=fp_treasury_1) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageOpticalShop) Several companies have tried to replicate the iconic style of the original Ray-Ban glasses, but this is the first time I've seen a company make wooden glasses that are actually made out of plastic. The [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) shop Vintage Optical Shop has a great collection of eyewear, and one particular style that has caught my attention is the NOS Redwood [vintage men's eyeglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-soul-collection). They're closely similar to the Arnel glasses that Johnny Depp wore. The wooden styling of the glasses give it a very earthy feel, and the accented red nose guards are a great touch when paired with the gold metal. These glasses are perfect for anyone out there looking for a pair of wooden glasses that are made for prescription lenses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wooden Eyewear Trend:** The increasing demand for wooden eyewear can be met with innovative solutions like recyclable and sustainable materials. - **Vintage Eyewear Trend:** Retro styles, like the iconic Arnel glasses, are making a comeback and can be updated with modern details for a fresh take. - **Fake Wooden Material Trend:** Using fake wooden materials in eyewear can provide a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to real wood. ### Who This Affects Most - **Eyewear Industry:** Companies can innovate in the eyewear industry by incorporating sustainable materials and creative designs to meet the demand for unique and eco-friendly glasses. - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion brands can integrate the trend for wooden eyewear and incorporate stylish vintage pieces like the Arnel glasses to create unique and eco-conscious accessory lines. - **Eco-friendly Industry:** Sustainable industries can take advantage of the increasing demand for eco-friendly products with the use of fake wooden materials in eyewear and other fashion accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textured Wood-Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issey-miyake-eyes.md) - [Transparent Crystal Sunglasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20.md) - [Vintage Silhouette Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection.md) - [Premium Replica Aviator Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-11-sunglasses.md) - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Spring Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodys-ss24-collection.md) - [Color-Changing Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-original-wayfarer-change-transitions.md) - [Eco-Friendly Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/material-matters-collection.md) - [Modernized Vintage Summer Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-soul-collection.md)
