We at the InternetGlassesCompany love specs, in all their variety and shapes and sizes, and with our passion for fashion we can indulge our shopping habits on a product that we actually need – Hurrah!! But what if you’re exasperated by eye wear and flummoxed by frames? If you see specs as a much hated medical device then you won’t feel positive about choosing or wearing them, so lets’ see if we can offer some advice on this difficult decision…..
People are often not confident about selecting a frame as they’re not sure what’s in and what’s out every season. While you may not be bombarded with eye wear images as you are with clothes, there are still adverts in fashion magazines, friends with glasses you may covet, and media stars all flaunting their frames. The colour palette will be the same as whichever clothes are in vogue, so seek inspiration from High Street collections.
Some people think that just like hats, there isn’t a style of specs to suit them, and they just look wrong in glasses. Of course actually, you just look different, and believe us, there is a frame out there for you! The golden rule is to take your time, try plenty of styles on, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Ask your friend’s opinions, take advantage of our ‘try before you buy’ option, and have some fun with your frames!
Don’t be afraid of change – old specs are as ageing as keeping the same haircut from your teens to your fifties! Even if you feel some clothes are too young for you, the good thing about specs is that they have no age barriers, it comes down to what you feel happy in. Take note of what teenagers are wearing and try something fresh and funky yourself – it will give your whole appearance a lift.
If you can’t see when trying glasses on, take a friend with you, or if trying at home, get plenty of votes from your nearest and dearest. Take a snap with your digital camera – a large picture can then be examined on the computer screen while you’re wearing your prescription specs. Opticians often have a video system that works like a mirror, so you can store the pictures and watch them back with different frames on.
If you still can’t decide because you can’t find the one frame that goes with everything, then go mad and have a style for day and work wear, and a style for socialising, or one for sport, or one to match that wedding outfit…..the more you enjoy your glasses the easier your choice will be. And at our prices you can certainly afford to indulge your new passion for spec fashion!
