Metal vs. Plastic
Is one “more popular” than the other?
Metals are back in style, just as much as acetate frames. Most metals are being worn as a “oversized” double bridge frame. Most acetates are worn with lots of color or extremely thick frames.

Shapes
What shape is a good fit for my face?
There is not “one” shape that’s right for your face shape.
A good Fall look for men: Round or Pilot shape. Double trouble: Aviator shape frames with a double bridge create a more retro, lively and dramatic look.
