They came in style with a big boom in the 2000’s. This frame works perfectly for most face shapes, a classic aviator is a must for any man’s wardrobe.

2. Clubmaster or Browline

This frame style accentuates the natural brow line and brings out a rather refined look. Clubmaster frame works best for people with a round face shape as it contrasts with the curves of the cheeks and make the face look slimmer. With the coming back of hipster style this frame style is absolutely in vogue since 2010

3. Round

Made famous by John Lennon of the legendary ‘Beatles’ fame, round frames are loved by free spirited vagabonds. This frame also suits square face shapes the most as it softens their features and balances out the rugged lines. Round frames are perfect for those who want to add a little life to their monotonous fashion choices.

From round to square, wayfarers work perfectly for all. This frame was first manufactured by ‘Ray-Ban’, but it witnessed a drop in 70’s. It soon bounced back and has come a long way since. Wayfarers are an absolute essential just because they are made for all.

5. Mirrored or Reflectors

They are a big part of high fashion currently and come in varied tints like yellow and blue. They allow lesser light to pass through and hence, were initially worn by professional sports players. This style was made popular post the release of “ The Matrix”, many characters from the movie wore mirrored sunglasses. These are a must to anyone who likes to hit two birds with one stone, high fashion and greater comfort.
