Those who wish to have eyewear designs to match different outfits are usually required to purchase more than one pair of glasses, but NOGS is introducing another way for consumers to find their style.

NOGS makes [modular sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-3dprinted-glasses-frames) with pieces that can be mixed and matched to sate one's desire for personal expression and to match one's outfit seamlessly. Some of the many options that can be modified include frames, bridges and lenses, which can be easily interchanged by the end user with a small tool.

Depending on how much flexibility a consumer desires, they are able to purchase boxes of frames in packs of two, three or four. Currently, NOGS is crowdfunding on [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xuutbox) in the hopes that people will share its vision for affordable eyewear that encourages personal expression.
