Generally split into designs for males and females, one of the more popular vanity mirrors for males is the simple yet effective circular design.  Mounted in a metal frame and upon a metal stand, the mirror itself is approximately 8 inches wide and can be rotated so both sides of the mirror can be used.  The reason it is created this way is that the normal mirror often has a magnified mirror on the reverse, providing a fantastic mirror for, in the case of men, shaving, even for those with poor eyesight.  Furthermore, these mirrors can be placed either on a shelf using the stand provided or can be fixed to the wall by the base of the stand, allowing the mirror itself to still move and provide the utmost flexibility.

Although there are many similar designed vanity mirrors for females, many of the mirrors designed and aimed at the female market are often produced on a slightly larger scale.  For example, some of the more popular designs are mounted in a traditional wooden frame and stand around 12 inches high and 8 inches wide.  Sat on a swivel bar so that they can be rotated (not only for a larger mirror on the reverse but to get the best possible reflection in terms of light, etc), they are designed to be placed upon a female dressing table where they can take center stage and look fantastic in any bedroom or dressing room.

Whilst vanity mirrors are often of a medium size, there is a selection available for women that are designed to be placed in a purse or clutch bag.  Measuring only approximately 2 inches in width, they are displayed in a case similar to that of a powder compact and can be easily stored in an evening bag, taking up only a minimal amount of the precious space available.

Available for both men and women alike, vanity mirrors are created in many different styles and with the internet providing a somewhat exhaustive display, the only problem one is most likely to come across when viewing mirror is simply choosing which mirror is the most suitable.
