6. Pin
Pin is an important part of the frame of the glasses, helping the temples of the glasses to retain their shape and connect to the lenses. Pin glasses, or glasses with exposed core wire temples and a slight metallic frame encompassing the lenses, are becoming increasingly popular, often used to create a more delicate, vintage appeal to the look of the glasses while maintaining the overall shape of the glasses.
