Plastic is a durable, economical, and versatile material. It's also lightweight, so you can enjoy comfortable glasses in almost any style, shape, and color combination. Also, you can find every rim type (except wireframes) made of plastic. You can even find options with a variety of textures and finishes, including glossy, matte, and more.

Not everyone likes the look and feel of plastic. However, it is the most common material choice for frames, as many people can find something they like. Bold colored plastic glasses are especially popular right now.

Acetate glasses frames

Acetate is a material that converts natural fibers into plastic. In many respects, this material is very similar to plastic in terms of frame properties. However, they have some additional benefits. The acetate frame is more durable and can better hold complex grains, making it ideal for simulating other materials like wood.

Additionally, acetate is generally considered more environmentally friendly than standard petroleum-based plastics. Many people choose this material if they want a more premium feel than injection-molded plastic, but still want the benefits of a plastic frame.

Wood texture glasses frames

This framing material is designed to look like wood without the drawbacks of actual wood. Usually, this is achieved with acetate, but plastic can also be used. Available in light, dark, and black, these glasses are designed to replicate various types of wood. Wood textured frames tend to be very durable.

Many people like this material because it looks natural. Compared to solid colors, wood textures can be ideal for a pair of beautiful, elegant frames with a little added depth.

Metal glasses frames

Spectacle frames can be made from a variety of metals. This is a particularly popular choice for rimless and semi-rimless frames. Of course, the wireframe is also made of metal. Due to the strength of metal, metal frames can often be made in thinner sections than plastic or acetate. Plus, it's a common design that helps keep the glasses light and comfortable.

Glasses wearers may prefer the subtle elegance of metal frames. These are very suitable for the professional environment, elegant clothing, casual styles, etc.

Titanium glasses frames

Titanium is a particularly popular metal for eyeglass frames. It offers an excellent weight-to-strength ratio. As a result, titanium frames are lightweight and comfortable, while providing the durability and strength you expect from metal frames. This impressive metal is also corrosion-resistant and hypoallergenic.

Generally, titanium frames are a little more expensive than some of the other options. Still, they tend to last because of their durability. Plus, they're often available in very stylish styles, making titanium frames a go-to choice for eyeglass wearers.
