Plastic Frames
Plastic is a material that suits every style, from traditional to trendy. It can be very feminine, in soft pastels or solid brights, or very masculine, in heavy opaque black or tortoiseshell. Its easy to embellish with inset stones or engraving, or simple laminated layers of different colours to add interest.
Plastic is skin friendly, hypoallergenic, and durable. Its perfect for stronger prescription lenses as the thicker rims disguise lens edges. These frames have built in bridges which do not need nose pads. For those with sensitive noses, the pads are a feature that some people find hard to wear.
Larger frames in traditional light colours are perfect for those who want something timeless, while heavy square or cats eye shapes are hot fashion right now. Colours are strong and bright this year jewel tones of pink, purple and all shades of red. For men plastic in lighter greys of browns is classic, but the dark Geek frame think Jarvis Cocker! - is very trendy again this year. Colours are always more subdued for men, but for the daring there are shades of navy, green or red.
