Glasses don't just help you see better, they're also a hip accessory.A simple change of frames can help you look like a musician, an intellectual, or the artsy type. Next time you shop for glasses, either protective shades or the corrective kind, here are some tips:

1. Designer frames aren't necessarily more expensive.
2. Choose durable frames with impact-resistant lenses.
3. Make sure the middle of each eye is in the middle of each lens.
4. Large frames will overpower a petite body, so keep your body size in mind.
5. If you have freckles, pass on tortoise shell or speckled styles.
6. If you have braces, skip the silver or gold.
7. If you enjoy wearing vintage clothing selected antiqued metals.
8. Your frames should closely follow your brow line.
9. Don't forget your lipstick when wearing glasses, it gives your face balance.
