Glasses can make or break a man. They either give you an air of mysterious sensuality, hinting at intelligence and success a la James Bond or James Dean. Or, imbue you with eau de Jack Duckworth off Coronation street or your creepy uncle Jim who comes down from up North every Christmas to stuff himself on your mum’s turkey. So, if you get to that point in your life where you need glasses, why not choose one of the four proven styles that work for the world\’s most dreamt about men?

The most refined style of men\’s glasses, popular with famous sex symbols, is the rimless frame. For his reading glasses, Brad Pitt wears a very contemporary and angular version of this style, that makes young wearers look older and more refined, business like and worldly wise. Sex symbol Ryan Reynolds also sports a pair in the movie Chaos Theory. These frames say: \”I\’m a sexy, bold businessman with a penthouse upstairs and a bottle of champagne, care to join me?\”

Another of the most well-known pairs of men\’s glasses of all time are those donned by Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movies. Similar in effect to rimless frames, Indiana\’s thicker, rounder frames look refined and handsome. Instead of a businessman feel, however, they exude a philosophical, \”sexy professor\” feel. The colour of the frames must be light, as a darker colour is too bold for this look. These frames say: \”I\’m a sexy, humble genius with a dangerous secret life saving pretty girls in far away places. Run away with me?\”

A middle ground between the rimless frames and the Indiana Jones look are half-rim frames, or brow line glasses, where only the top halves of the lenses are framed, usually in black. This retro-pop look, made popular by the legendary James Dean, is also worn by today\’s sex symbols Taye Diggs and David Beckham, who can be spotted rocking this look on the cover of the popular men\’s journal Fantastic Man. This look says: \”I\’m a fun and sexy star and all the ladies want me. How about you?\”

By far the most popular style of men\’s glasses amongst today\’s sex symbols, however, are the notorious \”hipster glasses.\” More commonly referred to as horn-rimmed glasses, GI glasses, and \’nerd\’ glasses, this style really makes a statement. Made popular by David Beckham, Robert Pattinson, Johnny Depp, Ashton Kutcher, Ryan Gosling, Josh Hartnett, and the multi-talented Justin Timberlake, these are the frames that say: \”I\’m so hot I can pull off anything. I\’m sexy, confident, rich and hilarious, and I\’m hosting Saturday Night Live tonight. Hop on my private jet, you can be my date.\”

So, lads, here they are, I’ve laid it out. No longer does a trip to the opticians need to be steeped in a dread at being told that you need a pair of specs. Glasses are officially a female attracting magnet. All that’s left for you to do is to just choose the style that fits you best, and watch the ladies swoon!
