While some people who wear glasses want people to notice their glasses right away, others have the opposite idea. You might like the idea of people looking toward you, taking in your facial features, and then noticing your glasses. If you have this mindset, a minimalist glasses frame will likely be a design that you gravitate toward. A designer eyewear store online or in your community will likely have several different products that fit the minimalist description. Here are three frame designs to look for while you shop. 

Rimless

Rimless frames offer a really minimalist look on your face. It can often take a person who looks at you several seconds to realize that you have glasses on. As their name suggests, rimless frames don't have a rim around the lenses. These glasses will have a bridge, nose pads, and temples, but these things all tend to have an understated look. Not having rims around the lenses will have a profound impact on the visibility of your face. Your eyes, eyebrows, and the skin around your eyes will all be easy to see when you're wearing a rimless frame. These frames tend to also be among the lightest on the market, which some people find appealing.

Clear Rim

If you want to go in a different minimalist direction, think about buying a frame that has a clear rim. These glasses are popular today, and there's a good chance that you know someone who wears this style. The transparent nature of the rim almost gives it the effect of disappearing in front of your face, which results in the glasses not standing out very much. This type of frame is heavier than the rimless design, which can be favorable for those who enjoy having the feeling of glasses on their face.

Half Rim

A half-rim frame can be another style that fits within the minimalist design. These glasses have a rim above the lens but no rim beneath it. Half-rim frames are available in all sorts of different styles. While some have top rims that are dark in color and thus quite noticeable, these frames still tend to offer more of a minimalist look than frames that have a dark rim around the entire lens.

There are many other minimalist frames on the market, so whether you want one of the above options or wish to try something different, visit an eyewear store that offers designer collection glasses.
