Traditionally, what men look for in a pair of eyeglasses is function. Fashion in eyewear tends to be secondary to comfort and durability. Are my glasses going to be too tight? Do they have comfort features, like spring hinges? Will they break easily? Will I be able to wear these all day long? What tends to be important in eyewear for men are practical features, sometimes at the cost of fashion. Luckily, nowadays, we can have our cake and eat it too.

The fact is that frame designers and manufacturers are making frames for men with this in mind. Lightweight metals like titanium and surgical stainless steel are now more commonly used in exciting colors and shapes.
