There are many fashionable frames available today for folks looking for spectacles, and some of them are fairly affordable as well.  Shopping around before your frame replacement becomes absolutely necessary will give you more options when you go to look.  Even kids now have better options in their spectacle frames and more of them than ever before.  Peruse some of the hottest trends and fashions out there and see what you might be wearing next year.

Gucci

The Gucci brand is an Italian company that started out in 1921; in of all things the saddle and saddle bag making business.  They have come a long way since that point in time, and now make some of the nicest eyewear on the market.  I especially like the lines they have for men, and they are not over done. They also seem well made and strong, and if you are going to pay through the nose for designer frames that is a big plus.

Adidas

Adidas eye wear is largely made for sports, but the trend to wear them everywhere is growing fast, especially in schools.  They tend to have a sleek, cutting edge type of look that gives a slight futuristic impression.  All of the eyewear is tested by actual athletes for comfort and wear, and the company, just like it does for shoes, sponsors Olympic athletes to wear the frames.  I like this pick for kids because not only Adidas a “cool” brand, they hold up like nobody’s business and are a good pick for the money.

John Lennon

I love these, the style is so unique and the frames without nose pads are amazingly comfortable, they are in fact the frames I wear.   They don’t fit everyone’s face shape, and run a little to the smaller side, but if you can wear them, do.  Some of the styles can be hard to find and expensive when you do, but hunt around and you are going to have a great look not seen on every street corner.

Dolce & Gabbana

If you like your eyeglass frames a little on the exotic side, this is the brand for you.  Not really the brand that flatters the male face, I think the styling gears more toward an effeminate look personally.  They are well made, and are known for their chunkier fashion statement.  I don’t like them for kids, they are too expensive to really be practical for the younger set with their tendency to loose things.
