Are plastic frames better than metal

Are plastic frames better than metal

True, plastic frames can be big and brave and a lot of fun. But if I can be honest for just a minute, I think I'm ready to call a metal eyeglass frame my new favorite.

You know, in the past, when you wanted a frame with paint and puzzles, plastic was the best (and in most cases your only) option. Metal frames had to be gold or silver or rimless, and that's it. But now metal frames have some beautiful earphones, fantastic colors and other features that make them fashionable.


If you are trying to make the big choice between a metal or plastic frame, let me give you four good reasons why I think the choice of metal can be a great idea:


1. You may need the nose pads.
If you have a small nose like mine, a metal frame with built-in nose pads can be a great option for you. It's hard for me to hold plastic frames in place without nostrils holding them in place.

2. The new metals are light.
Although most plastic frames are designed for light weight, if you are looking for an extremely lightweight eyeglass frame, try some of the new metal frames. Even at full rim, some of these frames are lighter than plastic frames. The thin rims and smaller stirrups, together with the light metal alloy material used for the frames, provide a feather-light feel. If you want something even lighter, a semi-rimless metal frame is also the trick!

3. Colored metal looks good.
Are you looking for a bright and shiny colored frame? You will find a variety of great metal frames in fantastic colors. The new metals are red, blue, purple, pink and more, and they offer a wide variety of combinations. I've just tried on a cool pair of blue frames that look great. I've also noticed some great-looking leopard or cheetah prints that look crisp and bold on a metal frame.

4. Metals are discreet.
Some of the hottest looks in today's glasses are the barely existing ones. If the bold eyewear look does not quite match your style, a metal frame provides the desired subtlety.
