Put those miniscule spectacles away.  Bold glasses are back.  For how long?  Who knows.  We are only certain retro eyewear is taking 2010 by storm.  Of course, not everyone is going to look great donning a pair of Buddy Holly frames.  And as cute as those horn-rimmed glasses look on the models, they could easily make others look like they are getting ready for a sock hop.  We certainly don't want you getting mistaken for your great-aunt Mildred!  So to make a little sense of things, we at StyleWise scoped out a few useful sites to help you pick a fabulous pair of eyeglasses.   

Just Remember

• Keep your eyewear current.  We wish the glasses your wore in 1996 could still be trendy, but that just isn't the case.

• Trying them on is key. Don't get swept away by magazine articles and advertisements. Think of your glasses like you would a great necklace.  You don't want to be overwhelmed by your accessories. They should feel like an extension of your own self.  

• If you wear glasses everyday, don't be afraid to have several pairs.  You change your clothes. You should have the freedom to change your eyewear!

• Also: the mirror sometimes lies. Have a friend go with you and take a digital camera. A picture can help be a deal-breaker.
