Self-expression and a passion for having fun and authenticity with personal style has always been such a core part of who I am. When it comes to eyewear, I think it can really elevate a look, it can do all of the talking, or it can just tie together something magical you have already created.
I am absolutely delighted to be part of the Specsavers style squad because they never fail to deliver on style, whilst serving our individual needs.
What’s My Style?
I absolutely love nostalgia and nodding towards iconic and pivotal style moments from the past, think 50s cat eye, 70s oversized and 80s pilot style, but also combine that with a more modern and refined approach to bring in something more unique.
I always rely on my frames to complement a look I have created or to add the personality on the days where I am in jeans and a plain tee.
My Glasses Picks
Specsavers NoemiFirst of all, we have Specsavers Noemi. I was immediately drawn to these because of the pilot style frame that I really love, it’s retro with its nod to the 80s, and this style frame has made such a comeback.
Effortlessly makes an outfit more interesting, and what is brilliant about these is that the beautiful gold finish acts like jewellery too, but without being too overbearing. I think they’d be perfect casually, but also add something interesting for an evening or a more sleek look.
Specsavers IndiaSpecsavers India are adorable, these round oversized frames with the tortoiseshell accent take me to the 70s, think floral maxi dresses, cascading curly hair, juxtaposed with a leather or suede jacket to harden and tie up the look.
These frames have a ‘soft’ look to them and so can be complemented with a similar aesthetic, or use them to contrast a bold look.
Vivienne Westwood 28Vivienne Westwood 28 are my everyday go-to. I love them because firstly, the pilot style shape I am obsessed with currently, but I LOVE the thick brown frame. They are SO bold and eye-catching. These are the sort of frames you’d be known for wearing.
The neutral colour means they work well with absolutely everything I style them with, and yet are an example of a frame doing all the talking, which means you can make minimal effort with your outfit if need be.
FBM 01I love these FBM 01 frames for when I feel like I need a little more personality.
Undeniably adorable, retro in shape, and the soft lilac can be worn in a whimsical soft way, think ruffles, oversized collars and blouses or I personally would try it with a more edgy look, think an oversized graphic tee in complementary colours, animal print and lots of chunky jewellery.
My Sunglasses Picks
My sunglasses have always been flamboyant, oversized, and personality-led led and admittedly, I am late to the prescription sunglasses party, because in the past, they’ve never really been that cool, until now…
Specsavers Peachi Sun RXSpecsavers Peachi Sun RX have been my favourites of the year so far in terms of bringing the pool party everywhere I go.
They add a pop of colour to a look, the round and oversized frames are playful, retro, and SO much fun. I’ve worn these to pretty much every occasion this summer, from the beach to a wedding party, and they have not disappointed.
Specsavers Guppy Sun RXGuppy Sun RX are my ‘I mean business’ sunnies.
They give off rockstar. I feel so confident in these when I team them up with denim jeans, a staple white tee or vest and accessorised to the max with chunky necklaces, oversized rings and messy textured hair.
The slightly more squared off shape to the pilot style is quite unique, but also adds to the wearability and makes them more timeless.
Marc Jacobs Sun RX 21Marc Jacobs Sun RX 21 brings the classic cat eye frame that has always been my favourite style of mine.
Glamorous, Hollywood and a little bit cheeky. I love the modern approach to a classic, with the chunky arms and the bold Marc Jacobs logo.
These would make for the most perfect everyday sunglasses.
Quiksilver Sun RX 02Quiksilver Sun RX 02 are what I would call the adventurer's dream.
A classic shaped frame but with a gorgeous translucent brown colouring, they are subtle, not too flamboyant, but still effortlessly cool.
These are perfect for hikes, days on the water, but also versatile enough to chuck them on for any occasion.
Final Notes
I hope you enjoyed my picks. These frames are currently on rotation at all times in my wardrobe, and I have enjoyed every single wear out of them.
Remember, there are no rules with style, the only rule I stick to is, does this make you feel good and happy? Your choice of frames can absolutely reflect that.”
