8 Best Frame Styles For Women
1. Cat Eye Frames
Cat eye frames are rising in popularity because of their ability to convey confidence and provide flattering contours for your face shape. These trending glasses are perfect for women who are into classic and vintage looks. Bring high fashion to school or work and make a bold fashion statement by rocking stylish cat eye glasses.
Both the Claire by COR Eyewear, and Modern Optical's Compliment frames are great cat eye lens options.
2. Double-Bridge Aviators
Aviators are an undeniably cool-looking frame choice. The double-bridge style of aviators is especially popular among women in recent fashion trends. With a distinctive teardrop-shaped lens design and a thin metal frame, these high-quality and durable glasses have since become a go-to option. Aviators have a larger lens than most popular glasses styles, which allows them to better prevent glare and provide a larger range of vision for both prescription and non-prescription lens users.
Our online exclusive Milwaukee from COR Eyewear is a Wisconsin Vision staff pick! This double-bridge pair of aviator glasses comes in multiple colors. Another great option that we offer is the Duluth, which is a fashionable double-bridged pair of aviator sunglasses.
3. Oversized Frames
Oversized frames are making a comeback in women’s fashion. Our Dayton option by COR Eyewear is a great pair of affordable prescription glasses that will fit oversized on most face shapes. Whether you’re into the 70’s style or are looking for a wide-vision lens for professional work, oversized lenses are the perfect pair of glasses for you. A very practical and incredibly fashionable frame shape.
4. Round Frames
Vintage-inspired round eyeglass frames are back, ladies! Eyewear trends for women are ever-changing, but round glasses are here to stay. Available in plastic and metal, this high-quality frame shape is very popular among the latest women’s fashion. Round frames paired with cute accessories are a playful trend you don’t want to miss.
If you’re looking for a more subtle option, the Lawrence by COR Eyewear offers a sleek monotone frame. For round frames with a pattern, check out the WF483AM by ArtCraft USA Workforce.
5. Hipster Frames
If you’re into the latest fashion trends yet strive to be unique, there are numerous types of hipster eyeglass frames for women available. Choose from big or small round frames, simple metal frames, bold oversized square frames, or browline frames in bright colors. An excellent range of eyewear options for all face shapes. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a “hipster” to wear these stylish glasses, either.
Check out the Rochester by COR Eyewear for a cool hipster frame with multiple color options.
6. Browline Frames
Browline eyeglass frames are a nod to retro style and will flatter any woman’s face shape (especially those of us with oval faces). With so many colors and patterns available, from tortoise-shell to bright pink patterns, browline glasses are a blend of classy and cool. And, they provide a great way for you to express your style. The Sparta is a great semi-rim sunglass frame that has a thick bar near the eyebrow but a thin metal lower frame to balance facial features.
7. Tortoiseshell Frames
Tortoiseshell eyeglass frames are incredibly popular right now, and they come in every frame shape and style. If you want to stay fashionable with a single go-to pair of eyewear you can wear anywhere, tortoiseshell glasses are the perfect frames for you. This pattern is widely available in nearly every frame shape and style. Wisconsin Vision offers a variety of tortoiseshell glasses, including the Claire, Duluth, Erie, 3991, Desna, Volga 2.0, and more!
8. Wire Frames
Wire eyeglass frames are popular right now with women who want a relaxed, minimalistic look that is easy to style. Wire-framed glasses are lightweight and durable, making them a smart choice if you tend to be rough with your glasses. These are some of the best glasses for women with small noses because they won’t slip like some heavier plastic frames may.
COR Eyeywear’s Kokomo, Lawrence, and Rochester feature a thin, light frame with adjustable nose pads, perfect for those wanting a comfortable pair of glasses they can wear all day.
