Before I was prescribed glasses of my own, I was always a little jealous of glasses wearers. A cute accessory that you need to buy to improve your vision? Now that sounds like a good excuse to go shopping. When I was younger and would tag along with my mom to help her choose her eyewear, I only ever saw three styles: thick square frames, classic cat-eye, or some variation of tortoiseshell. Great options, but a limited selection nonetheless. There are so many more designs on the market today, and thanks to retailers like Walmart, you can easily try chic styles both virtually and in-store. I wholeheartedly believe that prescription frames are an extension of one’s personal style, so there needs to be a variety of affordable options available. By the looks of our Editorial Director Lauren Eggertsen’s recent excursion, Walmart agrees. Eggertsen knows a good accessory when she sees one, and after combing through the retailer’s impressive selection, she has shared her eight favorite styles below.
Hard Candy
Rx’able Eyeglasses in Crystal Pink
“I thought I hated pink until I tried these frames. The trick here is that the pink is so subtle, it goes with nearly anything. I love wearing these in the spring and summer to keep things light and cute.” — Lauren Eggertsen
Walmart
Jillian Rx’able Eyeglasses in Gold
“I love that these larger square frames have a retro feel to them. They add a fun focal point to any outfit without distracting from the look itself.”
Oscar
Square Eyeglasses in Crystal Lilac
“There is nothing chicer than a pair of tortoiseshell glasses. They are timeless and wildly wearable. I find myself reaching for these often, knowing they will likely pair with whatever I’m wearing.”
Christian Siriano
Petra Rx’able Eyeglasses in Black
“If you want to make a statement without doing much work, these glasses are your answer. They are classic yet pack a big punch, which is the perfect combination for me when it comes to eyewear.”
Walmart
Walmart Marissa Rx’able Eyeglasses in Gold
“Gold frames are my favorite style, period. I love how they compliment my jewelry and add a subtle warmth to my face. I typically gravitate towards a more square frame, but I find that the round shape adds a bit of character which I like.”
Christian Siriano
Bonny Rx’able Eyeglasses in Teal
“This pair is all about the details. The teal color is so subtle, but in person, it’s unique enough to warrant so many compliments.”
Nautica
Cat Eye Eyeglasses in Crystal
“These frames are for the low-maintenance dresser. They are versatile and so comfortable on your face. I love wearing these while I travel because I am guaranteed they will look good with whatever is in my suitcase.”
Christian Siriano
Taylor Rx’able Eyeglasses in Pink Tortoise Gradient
“These frames are unique because of the two-tone feel, which is much easier to style than you would think. I love wearing these with more statement-making pieces—more is more.”
