What’s the first thing people notice about you? Your clothes? Your choice of footwear? Hairstyle? In reality, if you’re someone who wears glasses, then the first thing people will take note of is your choice of frames. The right pair of glasses will balance out your face and complement your features. Finding the right pair of spectacles frames isn’t always easy, but maybe considering what you want your glasses to say about you, could have an influence on your final choice…
Read on to discover what your glasses really say about you.
Bright colorful frames
Within just a few short years, glasses have evolved from standard vision aids to bold fashion statements. While dark-colored frames are still popular, brightly colored glasses are now bursting onto the scene, and this trend seems to show no signs of slowing down. Interestingly, wearing brightly colored frames sends a message that you’re creative and someone who likes to make an impact. Worn by both extroverts as a way to express their bright, bold personalities and by introverts as a way to put themselves “out there”, bright, colorful frames are a striking and complimentary choice.

Mostly appealing to a younger audience, thick dark-colored frames send out a message that you’re young, bold, and style-conscious. It’s because of this, that even older generations are getting in on the trend, making thick, dark-coloured frames one of the most popular options available.
Light, metal frames
Light metal frames have never been out of style. Their lightweight and simplistic style make them a practical choice for busy individuals from business owners to busy mothers! Wearing metal frames indicates that you’re someone who is active and usually has a busy schedule, whether that schedule is running around after your children or closing business deals.

Full framed glasses
Full-framed glasses are powerful and distinctive. Available in a wide range of colors, styles, and shapes, individuals who tend to choose full-framed spectacles are often perceived to be intellectual, approachable, successful, and trustworthy. The perfect accessory to your work ensemble, as well as for making the right impression in a job interview.
Rimless frames
A modern twist on classic eyewear, rimless frames are becoming increasingly popular with people of all ages. Not only do these frames accentuate your features, but they draw attention to your eyes and compliment faces of all shapes and sizes. If you wear rimless frames, people may perceive you to be successful and style conscious.
Final thoughts…
When it comes to eyewear, it’s clear that there are some stereotypes we simply can’t avoid. But remember, your choice of frames should be influenced by your personal style, your comfort, and your confidence.
