Metal

Metal is arguably the most durable frame material you can get simply because of the fact that it’s corrosion-resistant, so say goodbye to rusty specs. 👋🏼 Don’t be fooled, these frames are lightweight with a sleek design. Needless to say, metal frames are a classic go-to when you’re going for that classy minimalist look. 💽

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is more impact-resistant than standard plastic frames. These frames can withstand practically anything AND they’re shatter-proof and scratch-resistant! ⚡If you’re still not convinced, polycarbonate frames are also hypoallergenic and won’t cause any irritation. 😌
