Glasses come in a whole range of shapes and sizes and are ideal for every occasion. They're easy to wear and can spice up an office suit or a Christmas dress – so long as you choose the frames carefully.
Here's how to select specs for every occasion:
A night on the town
If you're heading out for the night, make sure your glasses complement your outfit. Avoid heavy spectacles with a dainty dress and make sure the colours don't clash. Geek chic glasses will look great in a trendy bar and vibrant colours are ideal for cocktail hours. Slip on thin, discreet specs with a ball gown or opt for a classy tortoiseshell pair if you're staying in an upmarket hotel.
A day in the office
If you work in an office, it's important to look smart and sophisticated without hiding your personality. Choose specs you feel comfortable in and opt for a design that makes you feel confident. Black and brown frames are ideal for the workplace, but if the dress code's relaxed don't be afraid to buy something a little more extravagant. Take your time to browse a number of frames and see which style suits you best.
A day out with the kids
Whether you're visiting a zoo or heading to a theme park, it's ok to look classy. There's no problem wearing your work glasses, so long as you feel confident. Most glasses have a scratch resistant coating and should survive a trip out with the kids. If you're worried about damaging your eyewear, why not opt for contact lenses? They're comfortable to wear and will stop your glasses from falling off on a rollercoaster.
Meeting the in-laws
When meeting the in-laws for the first time, it's probably best to leave your Elton John style glasses at home. If you have dark hair, bring out your beauty by wearing a warm coloured frame. Brown, copper, beige and terracotta frames will all suit your warm tones and will reveal your natural luminosity. If you're rather pale, stick to light shades such as pale pink or unleash your edgy side with a pair of geek chic specs.
Whether you're going to the cinema or to a friend's house, you can look fabulous in glasses. Simply choose a frame you feel confident in and wear them with style – no matter where you're going.
