Trends in eyewear have something for everyone

July 15, 2010

Eyeglasses can be more than just a means to see better, they can also tell a story about who you are as an individual. Those seeking a pair of frames that express who they are as a person are in luck, Statesman.com reports.

Whether seeking out the latest pair of Gucci frames, or opting to go vintage, there are more than just plain, boring old wire frames.

Of course, wire framed eyeglasses may work for some people, but for those who are looking to add a little punch to their wardrobe, brands like Tom Ford, Oliver Peoples and Nike offer a range of styles and colors.

When searching for a pair of glasses, knowing the shape of your face is extremely important, as not every style looks good on everyone.

The news provider recommends treating eyeglasses shopping like car shopping by trying on several different frames and finding what works for you. Also, if your favorite celebrity rocks a pair of glasses, trying taking a picture of them to your optician and they may help find that style that suits you.

The American Optometric Association recommends an annual eye exam to help catch and developing vision problems early.
