Fashion vs. Function: Balancing Style and Practicality in Teen Eyewear

For teenagers that have vision issues such as nearsightedness, or farsightedness, or astigmatism or more, the use of eyeglasses is an aid to improve their quality of eyesight for daily functioning. Clear eyesight not only brings better way to perceive their environment but also boost the confidence by addressing the challenges they have. Being a part of daily wearable, function eyewear have also evolved into a trendy accessory to better with the changing fashion trends of today.
Eyeglasses are now not just used for their functional role but also as a part of accessorising for everyone from celebrities to kids. Through the fashionable demand and further functional innovations, a range of fashion eyewear have become available in the market for people even without eyesight prescriptions.
Let’s take a look at how function and fashion play a role in choosing the right pair of glasses, and how style holds against practicality for the eyewear world. 

Fashion vs. Function of Eyeglasses

While looking for a new pair, let’s understand the qualities of fashion eyewear and function eyewear, and what to look for according to your needs. As a teen these are a few qualities that will determine quest for for the perfect eyewear.

Understand Your Lifestyle

The first thing to do when searching for a pair of glasses is to look at your lifestyle. Take into account your daily activities, your routine - if you go to college, gym, do outdoor activities, or like socialising, and the weather conditions of where you live. Teen eyewear fashion is depedant on how much time you are outdoors and indoors, for higher intensity based activities, more durable eyewear is preferable. If you spend more time is classroom with your classmates around, then might prefer more stylish and lightweight frames that help you keep comfortable for extended wear.

Balance Fashion By complementing the Functionality

One of the most important aspects to understand about looking for eyewear is knowing that the key in the right balance. Note down all your requirements, whether you want the glasses to suit your face, look stylish, match your outfit, be of the lates trend, have UV protection, is durable, or lightweight. Once you understand your top 3-4 most important requirements, selecting eyeglasses becomes much simpler. Looking for eyeglasses with a balance of functional and fashionable qualities, both are beneficial. You can look for eyeglasses with UV protection or blue light filtering ( helps with eye strain with looking at screen). Fashionable teen glasses like those by Angsta, serve the dual purpose of looking good while protecting the eyes.

If you are more fashion oriented and like to buy multiple pairs of eyewear according to your, style and occassion then adding basic functional qualities like UV protection and blue light technology helps in protecting and making your visual experience very comfortable. 

Also, if you like bold colours and they way suit your face, but don’t match your daily use then you can also opt for frames with subtle yet stylish accents. In this way, you can keep up to date with teen eyewear trends without sacrificing on practicality. 

How The Eyewear Suits Your Face

Another part of fashion and functionality is how the eyewear works with your face. We have already spoken about comfort but to speak in more detail, a good eyewear (when it comes to functionality) should have nose pads and a bridge that sits on your now without slipping or feeling too tight. The temples should also be no too long or too short, at the same time not too loose or too tight that they give you a headache. 

In terms of fashion, you should like the design of the eyewear and it’s shape. Say if you prefer transparent eyeglasses that give a ‘barely there’ feel or ‘Cat eye glasses’ add something fun to your face and overall personality, choice is yours! 

Invest in Quality Pieces

It feels like a good idea to just buy eyewear with rock bottom prices, but if you want your eyewear to last, quality goes a long way. By investing in well-made and durable sunglasses, you get better performance, making your fashion and practical experience even sweeter. So whether it’s fashionable or functional eyewear for teens, eyewear from brands like Angsta provide comfort, style, functionality and are durable. 

So to conclude the function vs fashion eyewear aspect- both are necessary for eyewear experience. Through your own personal use and lifestyle you will be able to experiment with glasses that fit better for your occasions. We want to remind you that fashion and practicality are not opposite forces but go hand in hand while making a choice. As a young buyer, keeping in mind this harmony will help you choose the best that eyewear has to offer.
