In a world where everyone totes around tumblers and water bottles like security blankets, it’s easy to neglect your drinking glass collection. After all, when such large vessels exist to inspire adequate hydration, why would you reach for something smaller and more fragile? But if your drinking glasses have long been an afterthought, there’s reason to start caring about these everyday vessels. Though they might not seem as special as cocktail or wine glasses, drinking glasses can be just as chic and elegant.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with relying on your trusty tumbler throughout the day.
