Are you deciding to gift your dad or brother or in that case your boyfriend a pair of eyewear? If you are then I am going to give you certain tips which will help you understand what exactly you should buy. From my experience I will tell you when it comes to glass frames men prefer durable, comfortable and well fitted eyewear. Men love style but for style they will not compromise with the comfort and fit. However there are much more considerations like some prefer the flexible ones which do not break easily, while the others says that fit is crucial and so on.

After talking about the fit and the comfort let me let you something on the trends. Through trends are secondary it is crucial. Some of the recent trends in frames are are-

The Aviators- this is the hottest choice this summer among men. These masculine shaped double bar ones have come to limelight once again this season. The harder stronger aviators are back in style.

The large big and bold once are also being preferred by men. But if men have smaller faces then go for the John Lennon glasses as they are best suited on smaller faces and are still a hit.

Rimless and semi rimless frames according to me are evergreen. I am die heart fan of these rim and semi rim ones. It gives a formal and minimalist look which men usually prefer. However, men you need to be careful as they are not as steady as you!

Titanium frames are mostly preferred by those men who go to clubs and love golfing and bicycles. They are not only durable but also very stylish and most men therefore run behind them.

Chose from one of these trends as they are the latest and you are bound to get praised for your choice I promise!

There was a time when glass frames used to be considered the kiss of death for good looks. The moment you got the dreaded ‘number’ and had to go out and face an unforgiving peer groupwith some ugly optical accessory perched on your nose, you were out of the ‘hot’ list. I even avoided wearing glasses for many years even after I realized that my eyesight was not as good as it used to be, for this very reason. It was only after I got out of college and started working, that I finally went in for an eye test. And even that was only after people at the workplace noticed me squinting at the computer screen! For women, of course, opting to wear frames must have been even more of an agonizing decision. Now, however, one sees more and more young women, even hip teenage girls, sporting corrective eyewear. This is in sharp contrast to just a few years ago, when only girls brought up in strictly traditional families would be caught dead wearing spectacles (usually along with well-oiled pigtails and a sober salwar suit) in public.

Today’s fashion and looks conscious girls, of course, don’t go in for the ugly black or brown frames like those worn by your grandmother. They step out in trendy and smart designs in an extensive array of shapes, sizes and colors. On any given day at the mall, I can spot circular, oval, and square frames, in everything from blazing red, cool blue to bright pink and funky green. They carry them with confidence, as if they know that the frames add to their looks rather than take away from them. So has it finally happened? Has the humble spectacle frame gone from being the unseemly and unwanted beauty-killer, to a proud and sought-after fashion accessory? Well, maybe not quite just yet. But it is getting there.
