Dressing for Your Prescription Glasses

That's right - it's no longer about accessorising with your prescription glasses, because today, it's all about accessorising for your prescription glasses!

Your specs are no longer just a little addition that you append to your chosen ensemble. Today, spectacles are a key feature. They should be your main feature. So how can you get your clothes, your shoes and your hair to work around your prescription glasses?

We no longer live in that awful age when prescription glasses were the bane of one’s life. Things have changed, and even though there are so many alternatives out there, such as laser eye surgery and contact lenses, people are still choosing to wear prescription glasses. They can be a great fashion accessory to add to any casual or party outfit, but sometimes they can be the main feature. If you have purchased statement spectacles that just scream, “look at me” then you will need to work your wardrobe around them.

3 Ways You Can Dress for Your Prescription Glasses

There are many ways that you get key pieces from your wardrobe, your shoe rack, your jewellery box and your hat cupboard to bring out the characteristics of your prescription glasses. Here are three ways that can help you work your clothing in all the right ways:

1. Shop for the right colours – when it comes to colours, you need a good selection of base colours such as blacks, browns, greys. These are ‘blank canvas’ colours than can make your glasses stand out. You also need a selection of matching colours to bring out the colour of your specs, and some shades that can either clash and/or compliment your frames. Clashing colours can work really well to create that ‘funky evening’ look – perfect for a night out!
2. Accessorise – a girl can never have too many accessories! Make sure that you find jewellery and hair pieces that will flatter your prescription glasses. Over-accessorising can completely drown your features, so always go shopping with your glasses on.
3. Understand your prescription glasses – take a long look at your frames. What do they say about you? Are they geeky and nerdy? Sexy secretary? Simple and understated? Your glasses are a great way to help you locate you personal style, and you should shop for clothes and accessories that fit around this.
