Welcome my bespectacled friends! You’re in a safe place. A space where you can ponder life’s niggling question;

‘How do I make a statement with my eyeglasses?!’

Maybe you’ve been optically challenged most of your life and never taken to contact lenses or you’ve always worn glasses but seemed to gravitate to simple designs even though you’ve always wanted to be bolder in your choices. Well, you’ve come to the right place!

As someone who’s worn glasses for a large chunk of her adult life with a tendency to the bold and flashy, I’m here to show you how to dip your toes into the wonderful world of statement frames.

To keep this as simple as possible, I’ve broken the path to statement eyewear into 4 categories. From the simple to very flashy. Read on to figure out which category appeals to you the most.

1. Simple with a hint of quirk

If you’re not keen on going all out on statement frames or you work in a super conservative/corporate environment and would prefer a more subtle look, these styles are for you. This could mean frames with a subtle ombre effect or frames made of stylish clear acetate material or frames with some subtle accent detail.

2. Kooky and cool

These styles are perfect for making a statement without looking like you’re trying too hard. They’ll stand out but kinda blend in at the same time. A quirky cat eye, oversized frames, retro shaped frames or slight design accents. Be warned, this style could bring out your inner hipster 😉

3. Color baby!

Now we’re moving into adventurous territory. Say you have a tried and tested style you always go for but want to make a change, the simplest way to do that is with color! It’s amazing how a bit of color can make a bold statement. This isn’t for the faint hearted, if you’re going for color, you go for it! It will transform your entire look and everyone will notice!…in an awesome way!

4. All out fabulous

Now on to the big guns! You’ve taken the plunge, you’re going for a statement look and you mean business! Bling, zany shapes, color, design, size, basically everything dialed up to a 100! You’re making a statement and you know it! Not gimmicky by any means but definitely out there. These are the kind of frames folks remember long after you’ve been and gone.

So there you have it. 4 paths to statement eyewear badassery! Whichever path you take, one thing’s for sure, you’ll stand out in the best possible way.
