The time has come for eyeglasses to be in fashion. People who don’t need correction are sporting eyeglasses like they’re part of their wardrobe. It’s not just shoes and bags that are being used to complement your physical appearance, eyeglasses are now becoming a staple addition to a person’s arsenal for aesthetic pleasure.
There are many types of eyeglasses that you can use to enhance your face. They range from the sporty wrap-around glasses to the chic yet conservative design that’s great for work. The new “in” glasses are the rimless eyeglasses that basically leave more of your face uncovered instead of the other way around. They call them rimless because there’s simply no frame to hold the lenses in place. All you have are the nose pads, the lenses and the temples (the parts that hook over your ears). They’re considered the lightest among eyeglasses practically because of the lack of frames.
The highlight of these rimless frames is in the shape of the lens themselves which become the focal point on your face. Other bright colored or intricately-designed temples may also serve as the accents to the eyeglasses. The simplicity of the design of the lens and the fact that there are no frames to hide your face makes it easier for people to view your face. It sometimes seems funny that you’re wearing eyeglasses yet it’s like you’re not.
If you’re not ready to go the full rimless eyeglasses route, there are half-rim glasses available too. There are top-half rims that have frames on the upper half of the eyeglasses to hold the lenses in place. Partial rims are also available. They are not exactly rimless but neither are they half-rims. You may consider them quarter-rims or to make it simple, not all of the lens is completely covered in the frame. Surprisingly, there are also reverse half-rims which don’t have frames on the lower half portion of the eyeglasses.
