I’ve worn glasses since the beginning of high school and I remember my first pair made me look so nerdy and it didn’t fit my face very well. I needed to wear them because I couldn’t see at night while driving, so it was important that I got better fitting frames.
Back then, I had to go to the optometrist to pick out their slim selection of frame designs. None of them looked cute at all, especially with my tiny nose. It wasn’t until this past year when I signed up for Rakuten, a discount site for additional cash back deals, and through there I found the shop, GlassesUSA. When I first got my glasses at a young age, the Internet was still a very new thing. Oh goodness, now you know how old I am!
So anyway, I’m really glad that I am able to shop online now and it is such a simple process. GlassesUSA has a variety of styles: eyeglasses, sunglasses, multifocals, progressive eyeglasses, and even blue light blocking glasses that filter harmful emissions and protect your eyes from digital devices.
I got a handful of different designs and brands because they were really affordable and I wanted to make sure that at least one of them would fit my face correctly. Well, it turns out that all of them fit my face pretty well and I was really surprised and excited that I didn’t have to return any of them back. My ultimate favorite pair are the thick muted pink frames which give my face an early 90s look.
I love that they have quality brands available like Michael Kors, Ray-Ban, Gucci, Versace, Armani Exchange, Tom Ford, and yes, even Hilary Duff’s collection. They have it all.
Not only do glasses help you read and see close or far away more clearly, but they give an added layer to your style and personality. Now that I’m older, glasses no longer make me look extremely nerdy. Today, they help add a pop of color to my outfit making me look cool, calm, and collected.
I’m a big fan of the thicker looking glasses right now. Maybe because the hipster look is trending and these types of glasses are more popular for my generation. Oh! I was also in love with Mary-Kate and Ashley’s fashion sense back then and it appears that their extra large round glasses continue to be so influential in the fashion world that it just stuck. So maybe THAT’s why I’m still in love with this style. Are you as well?
If you’re wondering what the most popular frames are, I’ve done some extensive research and have gathered a list of the top 10 glasses for you in case you need some ideas for your next pair (or next few pairs):
- 1950’s Brow Line Style – With sleek arms, silver accents and a retro monel bridge, this frame exudes a classic cool look.
- Leopard Frames – features subtle rim curves, stylish silver rivets and refined arms with a rich hue.
- Round Oval Shape – This stylish round frame features a decorated monel bridge, elegant arms and adjustable silicone nose pads for a comfortable fit. They are nice and thin giving a simplistic minimal look.
- The Classic Rectangular Frame – which has a modern twist. It has a smart saddle bridge and oozes sophistication, whether in tortoiseshell or black.
- Fine-wire metal frame – This one is made for those who love the oversized look. With round rims, a single bridge and slim arms, this pair will definitely be flattering and not obstruct the face much.
- Full-Rimmed Square Frame – If you like the ones that I got, it is the Amelia E. Tricia glasses, which consist of a full-rimmed square frame. I love that it’s made with sleek acetate and it features a saddle bridge, sleek arms, and a polished hue.
- Swanky Cat-Eye Frame – These retro looking glasses are here to stay. It’s crafted from lightweight monel and it features sweeping curves, sleek arms and adjustable nose pads for a snug fit. Think Lisa Loeb’s style, but for the ultimate minimalist.

If you don’t want your glasses to be the center of attention, but still on your face and exuding that cool hipster style, these should be your go-to glasses. It has elegant arms and a keyhole bridge which perfectly compliments its timeless design.
- The Aviator Frames – These glasses have a tear drop style that never gets old. It’s something my dad would wear back in the day when he was younger. It’s supported by sleek arms and reinforced nose pads for the ultimate comfort.
- The Classic Cat-Eye frame with Cutouts – These are made from high-grade monel. It has those flashy browline accents, trendy cutouts, and flat metal arms with a shiny hue.
