Let’s be honest — glasses aren’t just for seeing clearly anymore. They’ve become one of the most defining accessories in your wardrobe. Whether you wear them every day or just for reading, your frames can say a lot about your style, personality, and even your mood.
So how do you turn your specs into a style statement? Here are our top tips to make your glasses a fashion staple — no matter your vibe.
1. Find Frames That Fit Your Face (and Your Life)
Start with the shape. Your glasses should complement your face shape, not compete with it. For example:
-
Round faces often suit more angular styles
-
Square faces look great with rounder, softer frames
-
Heart-shaped faces? Try bottom-heavy or winged styles
-
Oval faces are lucky — most shapes work!
But don’t stop there. Think about your lifestyle, too. Need something durable for an active day-to-day? Or something bold and artistic for creative flair? Match your glasses to your rhythm.
2. Play With Color
Who said glasses had to be black or brown? Inject some colour into your look!
-
Bold red or blue frames add a pop to neutral outfits
-
Transparent or tortoiseshell styles are subtle but chic
-
Gold, silver, or rose gold metal frames add a touch of elegance
If you're feeling adventurous, consider seasonal swaps: warm tones in autumn, icy pastels in spring. Like shoes or scarves, your glasses can change with the weather.
3. Let Your Frames Reflect Your Personality
Minimalist? Go for sleek, rimless or wire frames.
Maximalist? Oversized, colourful, or patterned frames are your best friend.
Vintage lover? Channel retro charm with cat-eye or round glasses.
Whatever your personality, there’s a pair of specs that matches — and maybe even enhances — it. Your glasses don’t have to blend in. Let them lead.
4. Pair Your Makeup or Outfit With Your Frames
Glasses can be a styling shortcut — or the final polish. Try these ideas:
-
A bold brow or red lip to match statement frames
-
Colour-coordinated earrings or headbands
-
A slick hairstyle that keeps your frames in focus
Little touches go a long way when your glasses are part of the look.
5. Switch Things Up
Just like you wouldn’t wear the same pair of shoes every day, why not have more than one pair of glasses? Think of them as accessories — one pair for work, one for weekends, one for going out-out. Ask us about offers on second pairs when you next visit!
