Good looking eyes for guys

I thought I would switch things up this month and talk about eyewear just for men. There are a lot of styles, colors and shapes for the ladies but I think the men get a bit forgotten sometimes.

I have been in the industry for 20 years and seen a lot of styles come and go and come back. Most of the options for the guys were black, brown and gun. What about if you wanted to step outside of the box a bit? In the last few years, I have seen many more options like navy, red and all sorts of colors for men to choose from if they wish. You can step beyond the black and brown. Go for a bit of style, something that is versatile, fashion forward and still masculine. It compliments anyone from the golfer to the entrepreneur.

 

What if you still want to be in your comfort zone and try a bit of color? Well, fall’s rich hues are the perfect time to try that out  - look to deep greens, maroons and navy tones for a sophisticated departure from traditional blacks and browns. These frames are perfect for a man who wants to stay in his style comfort zone while experimenting with a subtle departure from the usual day-to-day.

 

If you're wanting a real pop of color, a real strong statement with more bold options when it comes to “occasion” frames like sunglasses or readers, then try bright blues, oranges and reds.  They feel sporty and can be toned down when worked into a quintessential tortoise shell for more professional instances.

 

When it comes to choices, it's really up to you and what you're comfortable with. What is your lifestyle and what do you want your glasses to say about you? You have many more choices and can make your statement any way you want.
