3. Vintage Round Frames

Circular frames or rounded men's eyewear inevitably brings to mind the iconic image of John Lennon and his plea to give peace a chance. His long hair and narrow face worked well with his minimal metal frame glasses.

Square-shaped and heart-shaped faces can handle a perfectly round pair of glasses frames. They help balance a broad forehead, but rounder faces generally benefit from a stronger contrast in glasses frames, like square or rectangular.

5. Clubmaster Browline Glasses Frames

This classic style of half-rim eyeglasses frames fits right into the recent hipster movement, but they draw inspiration from the 1960s — the era of "Mad Men" and Buddy Holly.

These classic half rim glasses were famous men's eyewear back then, and nowadays men's browline style is back with a purpose.

Browline glasses are the go-to accessory for a geek hipster look but they are also suitable as business eyeglasses. They mimic how eyebrows frame the face with a heavier top piece and offer a hip vibe to almost any personal eyeglasses style.

This kind of eyewear fits a narrow face well by adding fullness with a heavy horizontal line and decreasing length by interrupting the vertical line. This style of bolder glasses frames will help draw attention to the eyes, so they'll also help minimize a weak chin. Here you can find men's glasses for narrow face.

Nothing is more timeless than a pair of beautifully crafted metal glasses frames. Simple, elegant, and comfortable, metal frames will showcase your style without compromising function.

14. Sporty Aviator Glasses Frames

Along with the Wayfarer eyewear, the aviator's frames fight to win the title for the most iconic eyeglass model ever made. They were initially designed in 1930 for U.S. pilots, in the 1960s and '70s by Beatles icon Paul McCartney. Thanks to his influence on pop culture, they became popular in the '70s.

Even if you're looking for a much trendier piece, the Aviator styles have a feature for you. The plastic rimmed Aviators of recent years offer a more fashion-wise approach.

Perfect for men with a strong jawline and wide forehead.

You can switch out your clothes and shoes all you want, but you can't replicate the way eyeglasses transform your look. Some men look better in glasses. It's like presenting an alternate version of yourself. Remember, glasses were the one distinction between Clark Kent and Superman. What other accessories can do that?

If you're one of the guys entirely changed by a pair of eyewear and your vision is perfect, you can go with vanity eyeglasses.

Plano lenses are the option many men go for. These lenses do not contain a prescription because they don't have any vision-correcting power. An anti-reflective treatment is the single strong recommendation. If glasses seem an excellent idea for your style, you should certainly be open to the idea of non-prescription glasses.

Do you already have a favorite style of men's glasses?
