Men's fashion glasses
Long gone are the days when glasses were considered an inconvenient necessity for those with poor eyesight. Today this accessory is considered fashionable and even high-profile. With glasses, a person looks more serious, which is important for business. If you choose an original frame, it can emphasize individuality in an informal way. Let's talk about the features of men's fashion glasses.
Peculiarities
Image glasses are an accessory without diopters, that is, with ordinary glasses. They are worn by those with good eyesight for beauty and to create a charismatic style. Such decorative glasses are also called "zeroes". Transparent plastic or simple glasses are inserted into the frame. Often the material undergoes some kind of treatment to protect it from ultraviolet radiation or improve comfort when working with a computer. But this does not affect the clarity of visual perception.
The advantages of glasses without lenses for men are obvious:
- visual correction of the oval of the face (with a well-chosen frame, a person becomes more attractive);
- optical magnification of the eyes;
- masking dark circles and puffiness under the eyes;
- creation of the desired image.
Views
Can be distinguished several varieties of fashion glasses.
Wayfarers
Classic form, suitable for almost all representatives of the stronger sex. It looks especially good on owners of “circle”, “oval” and “rhombus” faces. Such glasses are always in fashion. They go well with any clothing and are considered a great investment.
Browliners
Accessory with dark rims at the top (accentuating the line of the eyebrows) are popular not only with hipsters and people of creative professions. In a business style, they are also appropriate. These glasses look better on men with narrow faces.
Nerds
The name of this type of glasses in translation means "nerd". Really, laconic shape with clear straight lines creates the image of an intelligent, well-read and versatile person. This type of accessory looks great on chubby guys. They also go to owners of an oval face shape.
Flat tops
This accessory is different flat top line of the frame... These glasses create the image of a self-confident person who easily achieves what he wants. This shape is perfect for guys with a triangle or diamond face.
Lennons
Round glasses, named after a famous musician are a non-standard choice. The original shape suits men with a triangular or square face. They look especially good in vintage style, although if desired, they can be harmoniously fit into a modern look.
Aviators
Legendary frame type suitable for men with a strong-willed chin and wide forehead. More often glasses in such glasses are darkened, but if you wish, you can find a transparent version. This type of accessory is not very suitable for a business style, but it can add zest to a relaxed look.
Do they affect vision?
There is no definite answer to this question. Much depends on the quality of the glasses inserted into the accessory. Cheap material can cause discomfort, rapid eye fatigue. That's why it is important to choose glasses with a good anti-reflective and dust-repellent coating, especially if you plan to wear them frequently. The appearance of cracks on the glass must not be allowed. Even if the defects are small and do not affect the appearance of the accessory, they can affect your vision in a negative way.
It is believed that daily use of fashion glasses can be psychologically and physically addictive. After some time, it becomes difficult for a person to do without a barrier separating him from the world around him. There are also problems with peripheral vision. Even if it was initially flawless, the habit of turning your head to look sideways can lower it.
Only the use of glasses with a special dusting, designed for working at a computer, is considered useful. They reduce eye strain and dryness of the mucous membranes from looking at the monitor.
Models with photochromic lenses are also good. They darken on the street, protecting the eyes from ultraviolet radiation and excessive brightness of the rays. In the room, they become transparent.
How to choose a frame?
When choosing glasses, you should remember the main rule. It is desirable that the geometry of the frame and face shapes are opposite. If you have soft features (the face resembles a circle or an oval), an accessory with straight lines will be the best choice for you. If your appearance has sharp lines, you can soften them with the rounded shape of the accessory.
Chubby men there are rectangular frames. This technique allows you to visually narrow the face. For faces like "triangle" or "oval" such a frame will also work. Rectangular lines harmonize oval, wide glasses. If a person has rhombus shape, you can give it softness or, conversely, emphasize the masculinity of the features (optional). It all depends on personal taste.
Anyway the top line of the glasses should be flush with the eyebrows or slightly below. In addition, the frame should not touch the cheeks. Smile when trying on an accessory. The glasses should stay in place and not "bounce". The bows should not press or dangle freely. The size should fit perfectly, you should be comfortable wearing glasses.
The frame material is selected based on the purpose of the accessory. Metal (copper, nickel, titanium) is more suitable for a business style. For everyday informal wear, let's say plastic. In terms of color, you can choose universal black, standard metallic or opt for an "invisible" frame. Non-standard shades are also relevant, but not in a business environment.
