EDGY FRAMES

Gone are the days when glasses were considered uncool. Now, they aren’t only meant for nerds. 

They have become a style statement and the frames available in stores are bold, colourful and stylish. These are not meant only for those with a poor vision but even those who want to look stylish. People of all age groups can choose from a variety of trendy frames.

Glasses not only help you see better but also look fashionable. “Though my vision is perfect, I love sporting glasses as I love my look in them,” says Poonam, a professional. Half-rim, rimless and full-rim frames are available to suit one’s look. You can go with frameless glasses and play up your makeup or buy a full-rim frame to go easy. Frames are also available in different colours like red, yellow, green, blue, purple and orange.

Sometimes, the temples of the frames have floral, leopard and arty prints. Some also have beads stuck on them. Different shapes like square, rectangular, round and oval are also there.
