Glasses don't have to be boring. A simple change can go a long way in giving you the attention you want. Because they are worn all the times, its is essential that you select an attractive pair.

There are a few classic eyewear styles, innovations and tips that the modern man needs to know if he is in the market for new spectacles.

The core of eyeglass style is the eyeglass frame. The great majority of all men's frames fit into one of the following three categories.

Full rim
Full-rim frames are the most common. The frames completely encircle the lens, an arrangement that allows for a variety of classic shapes - circle, oval, teardrop, rectangle, and so on.

Besides shape, full rims also offer a wide range of structural choices - everything from the style of the nose bridge to the design and fit of the temples.

Rimless
Rimless glasses are lenses, temples, the nose bridge, and nothing more; the lenses attach directly to the temples. This frame style is the lightest, but also the least durable, and sometimes the most expensive.

Semi-rimless
Semi-rimless frames only cover half the lens. A wire or screw connects the lenses to the temples. Semi-rimless frames are medium weight.
