What are the most fashionable readers for men right now?

Worried that wearing reading glasses for men will make you look more dated than debonair? Allow us to put your mind (and your eyes) at ease. Try a big ol’ square such as Guy Normis or C Suite that will let everyone know you mean business (serious business or funny business, dealer’s choice). Classic colors like black or tortoise are always in style, but don’t let that stop you from branching out with something bolder. Want something a little more barely-there? All the cool kids are wearing wire-rimmed frames these days, so you can stop associating them with watching your great-uncle squint at the newspaper. Go halfsies with Peek Performer or embrace the little things with Teddy.

What are the most fashionable readers for women right now?

These aren’t your grandmother’s readers. If your goal is to look like the coolest cat around, we suggest joining the ranks of glamor girls like Marilyn by opting for a highly sophisticated cat eye. Fat Cat and Oh Mama will allow you your Breakfast at Tiffany’s moment, while Overlook offers a slightly updated version of this trend. In search of a whole different animal? Bright and bold colors are huge right now in the women's readers space. Look no further than Bumfuzzle and Wisecracker to demonstrate just how fun readers can be.

If I want interesting, unique reading glasses, what frame shapes and styles should I go for?

If uniqueness is your main goal, we read you loud and clear. Our collection of geometric frames are pretty much the last word in off-the-wall fabulous frames, and they also happen to be very in vogue at the moment. Huzzah! With names like Paradox, Juxtaposition, and Muse, it should be clear that our shapely kookily-shaped frames will leave passersby dazed and confused. In a good way, of course. These funky reading frames make it really easy to get out of parking tickets – use them wisely.

Can I find readers that don't really look like readers?

You sure can! That only covers … well, all of our glasses. Considering that any one of our frames can be fitted with reader lenses, it should be a piece of cake to find a pair that doesn’t feel fusty in the least. Even our bifocals are fashionable. You’re welcome.

Can I find cool, artsy, or unique readers if I need a high magnification?

But of course, dear reader. We offer reader strengths from 0.00 all the way up to +4.00, so irregardless of how blurry the page in front of you looks, we’re well-equipped to help clear things up for you. Bonus: our off-the-wall assortment of frames are about as far away from drugstore readers as you can get. Whether you’re looking for something decidedly sophisticated or outlandishly fun, we guarantee you’ll be looking both book smart and style smart. Is that a thing? It is now.

Can I wear my cool reading glasses over my contacts?

Survey says: sure you can. If you wear contacts for distance vision correction, there’s no need to go to the trouble of taking your contacts out every time you need to peruse the wine list. That would be highly inconvenient, not to mention rather unpleasant for your dinner companions. Never fear: wearing your readers over your contacts is no big thing, especially if your reader strength is one the lower end of the spectrum. Just watch out for any discomfort – our eyeballs are inarguably essential, so it’s important to keep them at ease. If you do end up experiencing eye strain or headaches whilst doubling up on eyewear, it’s probably best to stick with one at a time.

Can I have unique reading glasses designed or custom made to order?

Are you sitting down? Okay, here goes: any one of our frames can be outfitted with reader lenses. Yep, you heard that right – we’re in the business of giving you every opportunity to find frames as distinct as you are, so we’ve got reader options as far as the eye can see. Go ahead and feast your eyes on our plethora of colors, patterns, and shapes. If you can envision it, we’ve probably got it. Heads up for those in need of a prescription in their reading glasses as well as their reader strength: some of our half-rim readers and narrow-sized readers are not deep enough to fit a multi-focal lens, but there are still hundreds of options for finding a progressive reader, too! Go ahead, blame us for your newfound glasses shopping addiction – we can handle it.

How do I choose the best style and fit for readers that look cool?

Consider the holy trinity of flawlessly-fitting frames: face shape, head size, and personal taste. As a general rule, those with more angular features will be best suited to round, organic shapes, while rounder-faced folks will look their best in frames with sharper angles. Size-wise, our prescription readers run the gamut of head sizes, so whether you have a narrow, average, or wide-sized noggin, we’ve got well-fitting frames aplenty. And when it comes to personal taste, well, that comes down to your own je ne sais quoi. Mosey on over to our Fit Guide for more in-depth info.

Look at you, you spiffy little bookworm, you. Having your nose in a book has never looked quite so cool.
