Because people generally recognize you by your face, the glasses you wear are an integral part of your identity.

Whether you want to look sophisticated, easy-going, young, conservative or style-conscious, the right glasses can help shape how you’re perceived. And if you choose to wear just one pair of glasses for everything you do, that says a lot about you!

What do your glasses say about you?

Glasses can help people see the real world or create the image of your choice. The key is finding the right frames that match your personality and lifestyle.

According to eyewear style experts, the first step is to look at the different aspects of your life. For example, what kind of work do you do? And when you’re not working, what kind of hobbies or other activities do you enjoy?

Are you an executive, a business owner or a public relations professional? Or maybe you’re a creative person, like an artist or a writer.

Everyone can benefit from more than one pair of glasses, just as we all need more than one pair of shoes. Generally speaking, wearing sneakers with formal wear is a bad choice. Wearing the wrong type of glasses can be a similar mistake.

Glasses for serious business

To help build trust among a wide variety of clients and colleagues, it’s generally best to stick with conservative frame shapes and colors. Consider these choices to enhance your professional image:

Titanium or stainless steel frame materials are good choices, as are rimless frame styles.

For colors, silver, bronze, brown and black are generally good choices as they pair well with a variety of suits. Gold tones and creative patterns are a good choice for workwear for both women and men.

Creative glasses for a trendy look

One way to show off your creative, fashion-forward side is with modern, trendy shapes in thicker, larger plastic frames.

Multicolored laminates are another option, as are bolder colors (blue or purple, for example).

Another popular fashion choice is retro or vintage frame styles. Updated versions of classic frame shapes with fresh colors, materials and finishes never seem to go out of style.
