Eyeglass Frame Styles
Eyeglasses have also become
quite stylish as fashion
accessories, especially
among fans of high end
designers. Many people
change their frames in the
same way as shoes or
handbags, with different
colors and styles to match
their wardrobes.
Multi-colored inlays,
composite materials,
designer emblems, and
enhancements such as insets
of precious stones may also
be found in popular frame
styles.
Rimless styles have become
more popular in recent years
as an understated way to
wear eyeglasses without
obvious frames. Rimless
styles mainly involve
attaching plastic or metal
temples directly onto the
lenses rather than onto a
frame.
New eyeglass frame styles
continually are being
announced. Innovations in
both construction and design
include introduction of wood
or bamboo in frame
materials.
Women's eyeglass frames
recently have included
embellishments such as
rhinestones, along with
colorful stripes and animal
skin patterns.
Eyeglass frames for men have
gone retro, with a return in
some styles to solid black,
squared shapes.
Unisex frames for both men
and women include plenty of
rimless styles, which are
popular as a good, generic
fit for both sexes.
Kids' frames may look
similar in style to those
worn by adults, but are
often more colorful with
emphasis on durability to
save parents the expense of
constant replacements.
