What are glasses chains?

Glasses chains are handy accessories that attach your glasses to your chain of choice, draping around your neck and ears to provide easy access. Used for sunglasses and reading glasses alike, eyeglasses chains take inspiration from elegant Victorian socialites, retro librarians, and ‘90s streetwear to combine both fashion and utility. Also known as glasses cords, today’s chains for glasses offer a convenient and reliable way to have your eyewear within reach at all times—and turn everyday looks into style statements.

How to wear glasses chains

Attaching and wearing chains for glasses is as easy as one, two, three—simply open the loop of the chains, slide them to where they sit comfortably on the arms of your glasses, then push the small metal or plastic slide beneath the loop to secure them in place. Presto! Your handiest eyewear accessory is ready for action. Pop on your glasses with the chain attached and dazzle as it drapes around your ears like built-in earrings. Need to go glasses-free for a bit? Slide them off and let your glasses dangle around your neck until you’re ready to read again.

Types of glasses chains

On Etsy, sellers offer a variety of fashionable types of glasses chains to pick from. Which style speaks to your inner bookworm? Vintage glasses chains: Classy eyewear protection just got an upgrade. Vintage glasses chains are elegant and unassuming. Whether you wear them for practical purposes or as a timeless accessory, glasses chains pair seamlessly with your everyday outfits. Silver glasses chains: Boasting nature motifs, celestial patterns, and other intricate designs, there’s no cap on creativity when it comes to silver glasses chains . Gold glasses chains: Who says silver gets to have all the fun? Gold glasses chains offer an equally glam way to dress up your glasses. Beaded glasses chains: Pair these retro chains with a scrunchy, arm warmers, or acid-wash jeans—if you’re rocking beaded chains , we know you’re a blast and a half. Gothic glasses chains: Think onyx-black beading, skull pendants that glisten and gleam, and bats that loop around your glasses in swarms. Put a moody edge on your ensemble with gothic chains for your glasses.
