As the seasons roll around so do the highly anticipated Fashion Weeks, where the world’s most stylish cities showcase the trends we will all be bowing to in the months ahead.
We draw up our wish lists of the shoes and bags we’ll be adding to our collections and make careful note of detailing in sleeves and hem lengths, all in the name of keeping our look en pointe.
But there’s an often-overlooked accessory that will update your look in two seconds flat and it just happens to be a favourite with the fashion crowd – glasses. Not sunnies (though we love them too!), but spectacles. Whether you need them to perfect your vision or not, frames are fun and have the power to transform a look from professional to playful, casual to elegant, quicker than you can change your lipstick.
Finding the right frames to suit your face and style may feel like a daunting task, but our fashion editor, Monica, assures us that there are shapes and designs that suit everyone. She recently went on the hunt to find the perfect styles at George & Matilda Eyecare to take the hard work out of it for you.
Professionally chic
You really can’t go wrong with a classic and timeless black frame. They go with everything, give you a pulled-together, ‘I’ve Got This’ look and add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Professional and stylish, Monica loves Kate Spade’s Kariane, especially for the office. Oh, and they’ll also lend you a confidence boost for those ‘down-to-business’ meetings.
A golden touch
For a more pared-back look, Monica swears by wire frames. Uncomplicated and cute, a delicate hint of gold or silver puts the finishing touch on your casual wardrobe, looking as great with denim as it does with a maxi dress. A fuss-free, roundish shape will complement all face shapes and will elevate your look without overwhelming it. Try Kate Spade’s Makensie.
Flying colours
Fashion is fun and nothing spells fun more so than wearing colour. If you are ready to embrace your adventurous side and really up the ante on your look, choose frames in the season’s must-have hue. Pink is definitely the colour de jour and Monica loves Kate Spade’s Adrie, a perfect mix of a traditional shape with a playful punch. In true Kate Spade style, the inside of the frames are engraved with endearing little messages, like ‘so happy to see you’. Just another reason to love the collection!
Monica’s final word of advice is to leave the contacts alone and invest in a wardrobe of frames that will instantly switch up your look and add an element of fun to your style. If you want to try these fun frames and take a look at Kate Spade’s gorgeous new eyewear collection then go to George & Matilda Eyecare to book an appointment.
