Looks that will last

A lot of people are scared of getting new eyewear in fear that they will be "last season" by the time they are comfortable in them. When times are tough (like now) sometimes it's better to pick a pair that will last you a longer time. So how do you pick a pair that will last?

Colour
Pick neutral colours such as black, brown and tortoise. Colors like yellow, red, metallics, violet goes in and out of style by the season. Keep it simple

Materials
Pick a material that is simple in style. If it's plastic, try something with a simple shape without detailing that will be able to date it. If it's metal, try something relatively simple without huge amounts of detail, which brings us to the next point...

Detailing
An example would be"bling", although it seemed nice at the time, at some point you will have hoped that you passed on them.

In short, if you want eyewear that will last, pick something that cannot be dated easily. Anything funky or "stylish" will be easy to date.
