4 Good Reasons to Choose a Metal Eyeglass Frame

It’s true: plastic frames can be big and bold and a whole lot of fun. But, if I can be honest for just a minute, I think I’m ready to name a metal eyeglass frame as my new favorite.

You see, it used to be that if you wanted a frame with color and pizazz, then plastic was your best (and in most cases your only) option. Metal frames had to be gold or silver or rimless, and that was about it. But now, metal frames feature some gorgeous earpieces, fantastic colors, and other features that make them a fashion win.

If you are trying to make the big decision between a metal or plastic frame, allow me to give you four good reasons why I think choosing metal may be a great idea:

1. You may need the nose pads.

If you have a small nose like I do, then a metal frame with built-in nose pads may be a great option for you. It’s difficult for me to get plastic frames to stay in place without the benefit of nose pads holding them in place.

2. The new metals are lightweight.

Although most plastic frames are designed to be lightweight too, if you are looking for an extremely light-to-wear eyeglass frame, you may want to try on some of the new metal frames. Even with a full rim, some of these frames are lighter than a plastic frame. The thin rims and the smaller temples, combined with the light metal alloy material used to make the frames, create a feather-light feel. If you want something even lighter, then a semi-rimless metal frame would also do the trick!

3. Colored metal looks great.

Looking for a bright and shiny colored frame? You can find a variety of great metal frames in fantastic colors. The new metals are red, blue, purple, pink, and more, and they come in a great assortment of combinations as well. I just tried on a cool pair of blue frames that had a great look. I have also noticed some great looking leopard or cheetah prints that look clear and bold on a metal frame.

4. Metals are discreet.

Some of the hottest looks in glasses today are the barely-there look. If the bold eyeglasses look isn’t quite your style, than a metal frame may offer the kind of subtlety you desire.
