Colors

Color is an important factor that men need to consider while buying a frame. Dark colors are the best to choose from. Brown, black, gray, and dark blue are the popular color tones for men in eye wear.

If you want a stylish piece, go for a two-colored frame. Usually gray and white, gray and black, and black and white are the preferred combinations for men.

Go for bronze, steel, or metallic gray color frames; they are sure to look good on men.

Temple Patterns

Temple design patterns make a great difference in appearance of the entire frame. Temples are the rods which are connected to the frame fronts and further to the rest on the ears and extend a bit more backwards.

The most common type in this is skull temples, which are straight rods that bend slightly at the tips and behind the ear for better support. Some frames have thin temple rods, while some have broad temples. If you want a delicate piece, then thin temples is the best choice. The rimless frames generally come with thin temples.

Broader temples give a trendy look. You can also opt for those which are just ¼ inch broad for a fashionable, yet decent look. With broad temple you get the option of dual color.

Some designer frames have temples with two thin rods and a space in between which gets narrower towards the ears and finally meet at the ends. Some also have design patterns between such rods which is a strict no-no for men.

With so many options available, you are sure to get confused. However, make sure that the frame is broad enough. Getting the right eyeglass frame for your face shape is very important. The edge of the frames must protrude slightly beyond your face and the temples should not touch your head as they extend back to your ears.

Well, the best way to choose one of these is to wear it and check out how it fits and looks on your face.
