Men are seeing things a little differently when it comes to eyeglasses.

"Though some men put Burberry Replica Handbags fashion before function, it is not the norm," Ms. Roth said of her male clientele. "With the if-it-isn't-broken-why-fix-it mentality, most men wait until something happens to their 10-year-old spectacles to actually consider buying a new pair."

"More guys are paying attention to style," she said. "They're caring about the way they look."

Jeff Atkins of Chattanooga recently shed his 15-year-old frames for updated retro frames.

"I admit that I had to be talked into trying the new frames," said Mr. Atkins, 45. "But once I put them on, I really liked the look. In fact, when I was watching the Grammy Awards, I noticed six pairs of frames like mine being worn by men. I guess the retro frames are pretty classy."

Men's frame styling has become much more masculine in recent years, according to allaboutvision.com. Older shapes and sizes have been reborn with a twist.

The secret is to find frames that fit your face, Replica thomas wylde Ms. Roth said.

"When you put on a pair of glasses that do fit the shape of your face, you pretty much realize it right away," she said.

New software allows customers to see themselves in the frames, Ms. Roth said. "I take a photo of the client in the new glasses, which allows them to study the way the frames may or may not fit their face. It's a new tool that is very helpful."

Mr. Atkins said he's Replica Porsche Design Watch sold on his fashionable eyewear, preferring glasses over contacts.

"I've worn glasses so long that they are part of my wardrobe," he said. "There's really not too many fashion choices for men. I don't wear jewelry, so I think frames make a nice fashion statement."

It was another World Cup cycling event and another gold medal for a Southlander.

Dawkins' gold comes just two months after another Southlander, Tom Scully, won two gold medals at a World Cup meet in Sydney.

Harris - who took over as Dawkins' coach in 2008 - was confident leading into the event that the young cyclist had a good chance of pushing the remainder of the field.

"We knew he was going good but at this stage he probably isn't as fast or sharp as he could be, so he's thrilled to get this win," Dawkins' versace Bags coach said.

Dawkins and Scully will arrive in Invercargill at 1.35pm today.

Cycling Southland has urged as many people as possible to get along to Invercargill Airport to welcome the two world-beating Southland cyclists home.
