Wearing glasses is no longer just about having clearer vision. Wearing glasses is also your chance to show off your personal style. Whether you want something bold on trend and fashion forward, or you prefer a classic look, there’s a perfect pair of frames out there for everyone.
And yes, that includes stylish mens glasses that tick both the function and fashion boxes. If you want to keep your look fresh and on trend while still seeing the world clearly, take a look at how to do that below.
- Know what suits your face shape. Trends will always come and go, but knowing what suits your face shape will always help you to make flattering choices. Rounder faces tend to look great with rectangular or angular frames to add definition, while square faces can benefit from softer rounder styles. If you have an Oval face, lucky you because most frame shapes will work beautifully. You can try on different styles of glasses and see what compliments your features best and ask a friend to go with you so that they can give you their opinion from an outsider.
- Keep an eye on the trends. Frame colours are an easy way to dip into current trends without going over the top. For example, right now earthy tones like olive green and soft grey are in vogue, while clear and translucent frames are still holding strong for their minimalist appeal. If you’re looking for something more vintage, be a bit zany with some tortoiseshell as that never really goes out of style.
- Don’t be afraid to make a statement. Glasses are helping you to support your ihealth, but that doesn’t mean you literally are hiding behind them.If you feel bold, oversized or geometric frames can add a fun fashion forward twist to your everyday look, go for it. Double bridges, hexagons, or chunky square classes will always make a statement.Just make sure that your frames are in balance with your overall look. You might choose to have more than one set of frames for different occasions.
- Have more than one pair. As we’ve just mentioned, you can think of your glasses like shoes. You wouldn’t wear the same
pair to work, the gym and a wedding, right? So if your budget allows, consider owning more than one pair of prescription lenses to suit different settings and moods. Sleek, professional pairs for work or fun, colourful styles for weekends, and maybe something in between for everyday wear can keep your look fresh. - Say true to yourself. The trends out there are great for inspiration, but it’s your personal style that should always come first. The best glasses are the ones that make you feel comfortable and confident, so if neon frames are in fashion but they’re not your vibe, you can skip them.
You don’t have to sacrifice comfort or practicality to stay on trend. It’s all about finding that sweet spot between style and function.
