How Do Your Glasses Affect Your Personal Style?

March 03, 2020 by Jeremy Lindy

How concerned are you about looking good? Do you worry that glasses will affect your style? Maybe then, clariti contact lenses are for you. Our personal style is part of our personal brand, and it's something which increasingly matters to us in this age of social media. Whether we like to admit it or not, most of us are trying to aim for a certain style.

Style is a building block of our individual manifesto to the world -  how we choose to present ourselves and what message we want to project – and never has there been so much variety. And whether you’re dedicated to following the latest trends on the best glasses, picking up that must-have key piece each season, or even if you prefer a more timeless approach, wearing classic items that you know suit you - your eyewear is a huge and very immediately noticeable component of your look. From cutting edge eyewear design to subtly complementary reading glasses, how we frame our faces has the power to say so much about us – but do you know what your glasses say about you?

Frame Your Character

You’re probably aware of the old stereotype about glasses-wearers being perceived as more intelligent, and perhaps you’ve even played on it with lens-free specs when you wanted to look high-brow. But did you also know that studies have found that eyeglass wearers were generally perceived as being of a higher social class than their counterparts with 20/20 vision? It even comes down to the style of glasses you choose. From Lennon-esque circle lenses to cat’s eyes, oversized to the emerging trend for micro-sunglasses, the style you select also speaks volumes. So having prescription lenses that are easy to order is just an opportunity to enhance your personal style.

To Brand or Not To Brand?

As designer frames become more ubiquitous, we can now develop an eyewear ‘wardrobe’ that says exactly where our style is right now and complements the rest of our styling decisions. There is a huge variety of styles out there, and it's now easier than ever to shop for glasses online, with many sites offering a virtual try on service where you can upload a selfie and instantly see what frames would complement your coloring and face shape, get online advice on the right frames for you and even order pairs to try on at home with free returns. The sheer variety of styles out there means the right choice for you is only a few clicks away.

One Size Doesn’t Fit All

The truth is, as a multi-faceted individual, you will have many aspects to your personality and the life that you lead - so you’re going to need more than one pair of glasses to suit. New glasses are a statement of intent, and a great way to update your look without investing in a whole new wardrobe. Just as you wouldn’t slip on a ball gown to do the weekly shop so you need different frames for the office and a cocktail party. Play around with different styles to find a natural fit for your personality and lifestyle. For such a statement piece, it's well worth the time investment.
