Women’s Frames

Women are definitely more particular about fashion and style in their eyewear than men. Women are more apt to choose Designer Eyeglasses that reflect the current trends. Women should consider having more than one pair of eyeglasses—we don’t just have one pair of shoes, do we? Look in the newspaper for great deals on womens eyewear, such as “two-for-one” deals.

Before you head to the optician, narrow your choices by asking yourself a few questions. Do I want a frame that’s barely visible or bold, retro or modern, conservative or avant-garde? Will I wear this frame mainly to work? Do I want designer eyeglasses? What colors work best with my skin tone? What do I like most about my current pair of eyeglasses?

While most women are more interested in the look of their eyewear, if it’s not comfortable, you won’t wear it. Your optician can overcome most problems with eyewear fit by adjusting temple length or the way the tips wrap around your ears. If the bridge area isn’t comfortable, your optician can replace the nose pads or possibly find a similar style of glasses with better pads. If you like a particular frame, but it’s too large for your face, see if it comes in a petite size—some manufacturers of womens eyewear are doing this now. Finally, be aware of the durability of the Womens Glasses you choose—you want them to last!

Current fashions in womens eyewear tend toward chunky plastics. But for on-the-job, sophistication is back in style. Look for bold frames by Cinzia Designs, Lafont and Dolce & Gabbana.

An evening out might be more fun with elegant frames featuring ornate temple arms by designers such as Lafont and Shiseido. Let your personality shine!
