Lasting Trends in Men's Eyewear

Men’s eyewear has always been on the masculine side, not much has changed today but the classic looks of frames have a modern and stylish twist. These styles and designs are being revived and people love them. If you want to be a man of style and fashion, read on below for some lasting fashionable styles for men’s eyewear.

If you have noticed, masculine shapes have re-emerged. You can see such styles with the re-emergence of the aviator sunglasses and the double brow-bar. The return of these looks have become better since they are now made with even more durable materials and better lenses like anti-glare polarized ones.

Larger and bolder eye sizes and frame shapes are in. But be cautious wearing such big glasses when your face is small. Why not try the “John Lennon” glasses since they are still around and they work well with small faces. Remember that big glasses will make small faces appear even smaller.

Rimless and semi-rimless styles, where the eyeglass lenses are held in place by screws (rimless frames) or a transparent nylon wire (semi-rimless frames) are great for men who want a modern and minimalistic look. You can combine these pair of rimless glasses with anti-reflective lenses and the glasses practically disappear. Men will appreciate the lightweight comfort provided by this frame and lens combination, while one the other hand, women will enjoy the classy look it provides.

Titanium is a type of metal that is now being used with the frames of men’s eyewear. Golf clubs, bicycles and even space shuttles, titanium is a durable choice for men who want their frames to last long. This metal is super lightweight, non-corrosive, very durable and also stylish. Titanium frames rate high in both function and the fashion categories. Other metals that are popularly used with the same lightweight and durable properties include aluminum and stainless steel. These materials are often used in designer eyeglass frames because of their high-quality finish.

Men who wish to have a younger and hip or retro look can turn to plastic frames. Lightweight and comfortable, plastic frames come in a wide variety of styles, including thin plastics, bold black ‘50s style frames and layers of colored plastics laminated together to create a unique effect. Classic shapes in tortoise patterns are probably going to remain in style forever so better keep one in your frames collection.
