Some fashion accessories come and go, but others remain in style for decades. Although fashion has a lot to do with you personal preference and what looks good on your body type, there are some trends that are universally worn by people of all ages, sizes and walks of life.

For starters, high fashion frames are in style now and have been for decades. Whether it’s a larger frame or smaller spectacles, they are worn by celebrities, fashionistas and just about everyone on Instagram who wants to make a statement.
