  1. Bold Framed Glasses Source: @mr.oa_ via Instagram Bold framed glasses have become popular in recent years, and it’s not hard to see why. Also sometimes known as the “hipster” glasses style, bold-framed glasses are simple but striking, and pair well with both casual and formal outfits. Although they most commonly come in black, it is possible to find bold glasses in a variety of colors and even patterns.
  2. Aviator Glasses Source: @adriaperez918 via Instagram Aviator style glasses were first designed for U.S. military use in the 1930s and 40s. However, it wasn’t long after that that they caught on in casual fashion thanks to their sleek style and lightweight structure. Although they are a common frame for sunglasses, aviator glasses also make for a great everyday pair of specs. 
  3. Flat Top Glasses Source: @only1venom via Instagram Though similar to aviators, flat top glasses occupy a category of their own. This unique style features a straight line across the top of the glasses and a boxy frame for each eye. While certainly not for everyone, this style can have stunning effect when pulled off correctly.
  4. Wire Frame Glasses

Wire frame glasses may seem intimidating, but you do not need to subscribe to a certain style in order to pull them off. In fact, this classic look can work with just about any fashion palette. The main advantages of wire frame glasses is that they are extremely comfortable and durable. If you are prone to often breaking your glasses in half by accident (it happens to the best of us), then wire frame glasses may be for you.  When it comes to glasses, a one size fits all style approach doesn’t always work. Even if you have your eye set on one particular style of glasses, it doesn’t mean that it will necessarily look flattering on your face.  Among the things to consider when choosing a pair of glasses include frame thickness, lens shape, and color. In general, round faces will fare better with square frames while heart shaped and oval faces can pull off rounder frames.  The style of glasses you should don is an important thing to consider, especially if you will be wearing them every day. However, if you find it hard to narrow it down to just one pair, you may want to indulge in the purchase of additional pairs of glasses. Recently, glasses have become more affordable thanks to a number of reputable online sources, so it’s not uncommon for the fashion-savvy man to invest in different pairs for different styles.    Which Men’s Haircut Pairs the Best With Glasses?
