Far from being dorky, glasses now come in so many cool styles that people with 20/20 vision have been known to buy frames without the prescription lenses. Silver-screen stars, quirky musicians and regular people alike have all turned glasses into a serious fashion statement and it’s easy to see why: The right eyewear will not only correct your vision, but will also make you look more polished, put together and intelligent.

To help you find a pair that expresses your personality, we’ve put together a few of our favorite models for the year.

LA Eyeworks Mumbai



Simple but so very chic, these glasses from LA Eyeworks will work morning to night with everything in your closet. The contrast between the heavily lined top and thinly rimmed bottom lenses is designed to draw attention to your face and make you stand out from the crowd. Worn with a suit or a vertically striped dress shirt and black trousers, these glasses will add a just-edgy-enough spin to conservative outfits. They’ll also work well with sporty-casual ensembles, like a lightweight zippered jacket layered over a thin T-shirt and some slim-cut black pants. Bonus: The frames are made from titanium, so they’re as sleek as they are lightweight and durable -- meaning you’ll look sharp in these for years to come.

Oliver Peoples Prescott



Plastic frames place these glasses from Oliver Peoples at a slightly lower price point as far as designer lenses go, but they’re certainly not short on style and were practically designed to make you appear more worldly and sophisticated. The dark, tortoiseshell color is unusual, while the shape of the frames is both contemporary and classic. If your wardrobe is filled with browns, olives and navy blues, these glasses will blend in perfectly. They’ll look killer with a trench coat, and a turtleneck will give them more of a dapper European flair.

Versace VE 1003



Suitable for men with triangular faces due to the very slim, not-too-angular frames, these glasses from Versace won’t overwhelm your face and will also de-emphasize a pointed chin. Those with square-shaped faces will also look great in frames like these since the contoured rims will downplay strong jaw lines. Men with either of these face shapes who love classic clothes and understated elegance should opt for these glasses since they’ll further refine whatever you pair with them. Don’t go too bold with your clothing, however, since these glasses will look best with fabrics and cuts that are equally timeless.
