These Bendable colorings may by no means go out of favor

You needn’t go further than Esquire’s summer time 2015 roundup of tortoiseshell glasses to bear in mind the hair-splitting nature of eyewear fashions. The slightest angling of the nosepiece can make a pair of glasses go from stylish, to tired, to classic. It’s enough to make you marvel, what if I might just bend these previous glasses, only a bit…

That’s the philosophy at the back of BÆNDIT glasses, a line of eyewear built from swappable modules. You construct your own pair via combining a frame with lenses, earpieces, and a nose bridge. Then in a artful, literal twist, you could bend the frames over the nostril or the ears, to both fit your face better, or additional customise your seem to be. (The flexible elements are built from an alloy core, wrapped in silicone—what I think about as a Jawbone Up that can be molded to your face.)

BÆNDIT appears to be advertising the ensuing glasses in two methods: in one, the silicone components almost mix in with the plastic frames, camouflaging the modular nature of the glasses. within the different, the ears and nostril bridge purposefully clash, calling attention to the bendability.

My eye favors the clashing designs, however my skinflint nature can’t help however prefer the extra covert manner, if just for its strive at a timeless aesthetic. imagine spending $150 for a pair of Ray-Bans, however having the ability to contort them from season to season or swap in more stylish lens shapes. dispensing a premium in money for prime-end lenses and frames would no longer feel like the sort of top class. The glasses wouldn’t closing you just a 12 months or two. they could hang out on your face for a decade or extra.

unless, of course, you lose them.

BÆNDIT glasses are available now. costs seem to start round $120. extra nostril bridges and temple frames cost $50.
