One way to show your creative, fashionista side is with modern shapes, such as geometric designs in thicker and larger plastic frames. Many modern metal frames also can be creative in appearance.
Today's more fashionable, larger-sized eyeglasses also are an option, as are more unusual colors — such as blue, green and purple.
Multi-colored laminates are another possibility, as are flower patterns and animal prints.
Morgenthal also recommends laser-cut details and finishes for this style of frame because these touches are unusual and very modern.
Another big fashion trend lately is retro or vintage styling. Look for exaggerated takes on frame styles from the '70s and '80s — such as oversized cat-eye and aviator shapes, as well as mod looks from the '60s
