The glasses you choose are crucial to making a good first impression.

If you're serious about how you look, the right reading glasses can change the way you see and look.

Today, wearing reading glasses can be a real fashion statement. But they're more than just fashion accessories. They blend elegance and function to make close reading easier and reduce strain on your eyes.

While glasses come in many shapes, colors, and sizes, the most famous glasses have unique names and histories. You may have heard of classic styles such as hipster glasses, cat eye glasses, round-frame glasses, and John Lennon glasses.

But how do you tell if your glasses are cat-eye or brow-eye? Are all square glasses automatic rectangular glasses? What are geometric sunglasses?

To help, we've created a list of frame names and sizes to find the best glasses for you.

Cat eyeglasses are synonymous with understated glamour. The upper corner closest to the temple is styled with an upturn to draw attention to you. The cat-eye frame features a unique curved brow line for a timeless 50s classic.

It's no surprise that hexagonal frames, popular in the 1940s, are now back in the spotlight, as '70s fashion and other retro shapes are getting the recognition they deserve. The 1940s saw the popularity of hexagonal frames as lens designs expanded and changed. Bold rounded edges, narrow bottoms, and sharp octagonal and hexagonal frame shapes quickly became popular.

Round frames are one of the most classic eyewear styles. The classic, cute vibe of round wire frames contrasts with the funkier trend of thick acetate frames. If you're looking for a classic look, try round glasses if your face is oblong, oblong, or oval and you like traditional fashion. Round glasses will be a fashionable choice for many years to come.

If you prefer a restrained look, vintage square frames are the main eyewear style. Simple and boxy glasses are offered in every eyewear collection from most optical brands. Their proportions are perfect for most face shapes, so you can't go wrong with this frame style. Square frames are equally wide and tall, making them perfect for round, oval, or rectangular face shapes. The sharp edges and sharp lens corners provide a much-needed contrast to the soft facial features and sunken cheeks.

One of the most popular mid-century eyewear styles, browline glasses are a combination of metal and acetate frames. These stylish frames feature a signature thick acetate brow line that draws attention to the top half of the frame. In contrast, the slim frames and temples are made of metal, usually gold or silver. For a trendy 50s look, brow liner glasses are a trendy addition to reading glasses for women.

Hexagons, octagons, sloping domes, and many other shapes are classified as geometric spectacles. If the lens frame has more than four well-defined sides or the shape is difficult to classify, it may be a geometric frame. If you want to stand out from the crowd, look no further than these glasses.

While thick-rimmed glasses were originally made of tortoise shells or horns, they are now often made of acetate - an attempt to mimic these materials. As a result, these glasses are both form and function: they make a statement and are perfect for lasting fashion and everyday use. Unlike metal frames which make a less noticeable impression on the face of the wearer, they are known for their bold look.

Trendy rather than trendy and dated is why these glasses have their own eyewear category. Hipster glasses (also known as vintage-style glasses) have been popular for the past 10 years and are inspired by eyewear trends from the past. A current example is 80s-style oversized reading glasses for women, with their huge lenses dominating your face. To take it up a notch, vintage frame chains complement this eyewear style perfectly.

Anti-blue light glasses have filters in the lenses that block blue light and sometimes UV rays from passing through. This means that if you wear these glasses while using your screen, especially at night, they can help limit your exposure to the wavelengths of blue light that can keep you awake. They are a great alternative to reading glasses for women, especially when reading on your phone or computer.

Choosing the right size reading glasses depends on your facial structure and head size. Like shoes or clothes, glasses have their own sizing system, but few people know it. This is usually because your optician will limit your knowledge of the best eyeglass sizes for you by giving you size recommendations.

When choosing new reading glasses, there are three key metrics to consider.

Lens width (mm)

Bridge width (mm)

Temple length (mm)

Lens width varies by frame style, so this is not as important as the width of the bridge of the nose. Glasses that don't fit properly on the nose can uncomfortably or frustratingly slip off the nose. The correct temple length is also important to help fit the glasses properly on the face.

Reading glasses can be a true style statement. If you regularly wear glasses for near-vision tasks, you'll be encouraged to have a stylish pair of frames that you can wear with confidence. Read a restaurant menu, on your phone, or binge on the latest novel.

The right glasses will make close reading a breeze, but they can help revolutionize your style and even make you look younger.
