Making a Fashion Statement With Your Eyeglass Frames
There’s no question that the eyeglasses you wear are a fashion statement – in fact, in many cases, your frames will be the first thing that people notice about you when looking at your face. Lots of people get glasses even if they don’t need a prescription, if only to accessorize their look.
Whether your eyeglasses are purely cosmetic or you’re hopelessly astigmatic and can’t see two feet in front of your face without your lenses, you want to look good in your frames. Here are some of the latest eyeglass frame trends to keep up with, from Beaumont Vision.
Tortoise Shell Frames
These uniquely colored eyeglass frames never seem to go out of style, or at least, they seem to keep coming back. Maybe it’s because these distinctly patterned frames come in a variety of hues to suit many different people’s fashion sense. When it comes to tortoise shell, it’s tough to go wrong. You can go round, rectangular, even cat eye for your tortoise shell frame shape. Tortoise shell glasses seem to go particularly well with seasonal fall looks, too.
Transparent Frames
If you’re having trouble settling on a color, why not go clear instead? This trendy frame style goes with anything, since it has no colors to clash with what you’re wearing. Transparent frames seem to go well with a rectangular shape or an oversized frame, and can work well for both men and women.
Black-Rimmed Frames
Thanks to hipster retro-chic, black-rimmed rectangular frames have made a big comeback. If your face just won’t cooperate with rectangular shapes, though, women can still be stylish in oversized cat eye or round frames. For a truly hipster look, seek out a thick, large, square black frame.
Gold Metal Wire Frames
Who doesn’t look great in gold? These somewhat delicate frames are more appropriate for people who do most of their work indoors. Men look great in round or square gold frames. Naturally, women can look terrific in gold frames, as well.
Red, Pink or Purple Frames
These colors usually look best on women, and are appropriate for those who want to make a big statement. They usually go best on a cat eye or a big round frame and will definitely get you some attention.
Round Brown Frames
A nice round, brown frame with a wooden finish like these from Schwood adds an element of class and elegance to your look, and can work especially well with light skin tones. If you’re after a more formal look with your glasses, consider a good round brown frame for your lenses.
