The glasses you wear can make a big difference to your overall appearance. I switch between glasses and contact lenses, and when I wear glasses I like a black rectangular shape to channel that sexy librarian look. I choose a thicker full frame, as it hides the edges of the glass (I need really thick glass). You’ll have more options, including nearly invisible frames and thinner edges, if you don’t need as much vision correction.

I didn’t know that you could buy frames online. I took a look at Zenni Optical’s site. They sell eyeglasses online, including frames for your prescription lenses and frames for the sunglass style prescription glasses. This link has lots of comments about shoppers experiences with Zenni Optical. They certainly had a huge range of options. My pick are these, they’re nice and thick and pretty fashionable too. Black is a good colour for glasses as it will tone with any outfit. Of course you could have different frames for each day of the week if you wanted to!

If you wear glasses full-time, having a pair of prescription sunglasses is a lifesaver in the fashion stakes. I’ve even seen some lenses that will change colour depending on the light level, so you don’t need an extra pair of glasses.
