Fashonable and Affordable Eyeglass Frames for Men - Everything You Need To Know About Eyeglasses for Men
Your glasses are a huge part of everyday life. A good pair of prescription lenses can boost your confidence and promote healthy vision while a bad pair can be distracting and even lead to eyestrain.
So how do you make sure your men's eyeglasses look good and keep your eyes in working order? And what about stuff like special coatings, do you need those?
Don't worry. You've got questions and we've got answers. Choosing a new pair of prescription glasses might seem challenging, but picking your ideal eyewear doesn't have to be complicated. With a few simple tips and tricks, you'll be ready to buy your perfect pair of glasses in no time.
But before we start talking about specific styles and types of lenses, we need to figure out the best frame shape for your face.
How To Choose Men's Glasses: Picking Your Frame Shape
You can think of glasses frames in three broad categories: Square, oval, and round. Each category includes a few different styles, but those differences are more a matter of personal preference. When it comes to picking the best specs for your face, three broad categories are all we need.
Square
First up: classic square frames. This includes everything from perfectly rectangular designs to blocky glasses with slightly rounded corners. Square frames are great at putting the focus on more masculine features, so they tend to be a good pick if you have a rounder face and want to emphasize your jawline and brow. If you have a more square-shaped face, you can still go with square frames — just take a closer look at options with slightly rounded corners. These frames will help balance the difference between your sharp and round features.
Oval
Unlike square frames, oval frames have a rounding effect on most faces. If you have a narrow face, oval designs are a flattering option that can balance your features. For men with rounder facial structures, ovals will emphasize a round appearance.
Round
Just like oval frames, round frames can offer balance to narrow and square faces while emphasizing round ones. For men with square facial structures, choosing a pair of round frames with stronger browlines (like these Browlines Eyeglasses) can add structure to the face and put the focus on masculine features. If you're looking for round specs that don't emphasize masculine features, check out wire frame glasses like these. Since wireframe glasses don't have bold browlines, they're a good way to get the round look without putting the focus on your cheekbones, browline, or jaw.
Men's Eyeglasses FAQs
What are popular men's glasses?
Clear frames are usually the most popular. They are classy and versatile, but if you're looking for something else these three popular styles might be just what you need:
Aviators
This classic frame got its start in the early 20th century when pilots needed specially designed glasses to filter UV rays during flights. The style eventually made its way to the general public and quickly became a staple of eyewear. At yeseyeglasses.com, we offer a collection of aviators with tinted lenses and clear lenses so you can enjoy this classic look however you like.
- Aviators look good on square, oval, and heart-shaped faces
- This style isn't just for sunglasses, you can get clear lenses too
- Our collection of aviators offers a classic look that's timeless but modern
Oversized Frames
Oversize frames are the ultimate statement piece. Whether you pick a subdued color or something bolder, big Glasses have big personalities that are sure to get noticed. Try this style if you want to put the focus on your eyewear or if you like playful styles in general.
- Big frames draw attention to your face
- Oversized glasses with brightly colored frames make a great statement piece
- Large glasses are a fun way to play with bolder styles
Browlines
This style typically falls under the square frame category. The design is characterized by minimal framing along the bottom of the lens and thicker framing along the top (the browline). As such a classic design, browlines are ideal if you want glasses you can put on and forget about. No need to worry about styling these eyeglasses, they'll match just about anything.
- Browlines are timeless and easy to wear
- Try getting a neutral color like black if you're looking for something simple

What's trending in men's glasses?
What do experts say?
Design experts love this trend. According to New York Magazine, designer Elliot March said, “ the design is timeless — you can never go wrong with a classic.”
Is this trend right for you?
The nice thing about this trend is just how versatile it is — no matter your face shape. If your face is rounder or more oval-shaped, the style's blocky and square appearance will boost masculine features like sharp jawlines and brows.
Clear Frames
This trend is all about transparency. The minimalist style ranges from totally clear frames like these Clear Eyeglasses to more colorful options like our rose-colored glasses. Clear frames are great for adding a modern flair to your style, even if your frame shape is a little more vintage (like Clark Kent glasses).
Pro tip: if you like the clear look but want something a little bolder, look for eyeglasses that blend clear and opaque designs. This pair of Stylish Eyeglasses includes a touch of gold wire around the lenses, adding a nice pop of color.
What do experts say?
A style reporter at GQ magazine calls clear frames “modern and playful.” But be sure to go with bigger designs. If they're too small, they might look a bit outdated.
Is this trend right for you?
You can find clear frames in a wide variety of styles on yeseyeglasses.com. That means you don't need to worry about finding the right frame shape for your face. Instead, think about your style in general. Do you prefer a modern look? Are you into minimal patterns and monotone clothing? If so, clear frames are a great pick.

How to choose your lens type?
Picking your lenses is a matter of personal preference and doctor's orders. At yeseyeglasses.com, we can fill everything from single-vision prescriptions to progressives and much more.
Here's the good news: you don't have to figure out what lens type to get on your own — your optometrist can help. Ask them if bifocals or any other specialty lenses are right for you, then enter your prescription info at checkout and you'll be good to go.
But beyond the basics of your prescription, you might want to consider Transitions®. These lenses switch from clear to shaded depending on the amount of sunlight they're exposed to. That means Transitions® lenses turn your specs into an all-in-one pair of glasses. Sunglasses outside, regular glasses inside.
Men's eyeglasses with Transitions® lenses can be useful for anyone, but they might be especially helpful if you regularly go outdoors and indoors.
How to choose your lens coating?
Just like lens types, certain coatings might be recommended by your optometrist when you buy men's eyeglasses. You should add any recommended coatings to your lenses to make sure your vision is at its best.
For many people, anti-glare coatings are a must-have. These coatings can help you avoid eyestrain by reducing glare on your lenses caused by computer screens and other light sources. Keep in mind that anti-glare lenses are different from blue light lenses. While blue light glasses can be useful for people who look at screens a lot, anti-glare coatings are designed to improve the clarity of your vision by actively preventing glare caused by screens.
Anyone who uses screens regularly should consider adding anti-glare coatings to their prescription glasses.
Anti-glare coatings also make seeing easier — especially at night. Traditional lenses reflect about 8% of visible light, which could make driving in the dark riskier. By adding an anti-glare coating to your prescription lenses, you'll reduce reflections and support safe, healthy vision.
How wide are men's glasses?
Beyond frame shape, thinking about the width of your glasses is part of picking a good style.
Although there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer to questions about the width of men's glasses, you can generally expect eyeglasses for men to be a little wider than eyeglasses for women.
Keep in mind that you can still opt for less-wide frames as you shop for prescription eyeglasses. The ideal width of your specs can change depending on your size and personal style. It's just a matter of preference.
