What are the do's and don't these days for men's eye wear?

I'm going to buy eye glasses so i'm wondering if anyone knows what to keep in mind or anything like that. I'm not talking about lenses mind you. I am looking for information about understanding the appearances and such
thanks in advance~

I hate people that wear eye glasses without lenses. Where were you when I needed you when I was little.

absolutely do not get hipster glasses. Just go to a shop try on a few lenses and while wearing each one, ask yourself , do i look like a fucking d-bag? if the answer is yes, don't get them (hint if they are hipster glasses the answer is yes automatically)

just get regular useful glasses without pretense, invisible frames or something classic that doesn't draw attention. The point is to have better eyesight, not buy new glasses every two months because fashions change. be confident, wear something minimalist, good for a job or a bar, or anything in between. just my advice.

No serious company will hire you if you wear hipster glasses.

Just go to your local shop and try out as many stuff as you want and buy what looks good, you don't need others to tell that for you, if you do bring someone along who has decent taste.

Typical rectangle/square black frames, works well for everything. Just don't get the thick frames.

That is absolutely not true. You can get hired wearing glasses, even if they are a fashion statement.

It seems that all thicker looking black frames are called hipster glasses these days. I think the more subtle versions from "hipster" glasses look really good, atleast on me :/

ive been wearing these tart arnels, i really like them, i think ppl call them "hipster glasses", i feel like ppl call me a hipster alot, i dunno i rly like them and recently got hired by a company

the way i decided to get these glasses was that i saw them on ppl and thought "those are the glasses that i would like to get". i feel like generally this is a good way to make these kinds of decisions, although taking into consideration facial shape etc. is also important

here is james dean wearing them except his are completely dark, mine are dark at the top and clear on the bottom: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kt5x8xwqNI1qaqr05o1_r1_500.jpg

these are the actual frames i have: http://www.makotoweb.com/cms_img/shop.shop,goods_image.231598/231600/sub_image/c/d225a843d19c39eaedc990061d9ef466/width/580/height/385/aspect/1/padding/ffffff/

depends on your facial structure. thin people can literally wear any sort of frames and it will look good.

that being said, be sure to try them on (obviously). do you have a large nose? a high bridge? or do you have a flat nose? small/wide/big eyes? all of these factor into glasses selection.

bring a friend (preferably one who also wears glasses) with you while you shop for them. extra points if they're a girl (trust me on this), because chances are, they'll provide a good third person perspective rather than just you and maybe the guy who's trying to sell you the frames.

everybody in this thread has no fucking clue what they're talking about and clearly has no clue as to how to even fucking dress themselves in the morning.

There are online retailers who let you upload a picture so you can try glasses on. It's a good way to see how you would look in the styles you find interesting.
