Mark says: “Picking glasses can be quite a daunting task when you’re faced with row after row of specs. But fashion rules are made to be broken – so why not try something different to your usual style?”
Let’s take a closer look at Mark’s top picks and fashion advice.
Round tortoiseshell glasses
For Mark, these Specsavers frames are the most flattering you can come by. The tortoiseshell style in the classic round shape will elevate any outfit and warm up your complexion. If you’re like Mark and ‘embracing your salt-and-pepper hairdo’ then these are the specs for you. The acetate frames are complemented by the thin, gold metallic sides to be a stand-out feature on your face, rather than just an essential accessory.
Pilot-inspired retro glasses
These double bridge, metallic glasses give a modern twist to a classic, beloved shape which can be worn to level up any work outfit and offer an anecdote to what’s on-trend.
But for Mark, he sees the potential in these retro specs to be perfect for the upcoming summer. By adding the additional tint treatment to the lenses, they can be transformed into the perfect accomplice to your festival outfit. “I love these with a pink lens”, says Mark, “They bring a whole new meaning to rose-tinted glasses!” Look back on your trips and holidays with fond memories in these glasses.
Delicate yet oversized glasses
We all know the 70s is making a comeback this season, so get involved with this vintage craze with these square glasses. The frames are in an exaggerated square shape in gold stainless steel and feature pale pink acetate tips. They are delicate, stylish, and will help to brighten any eye colour. With the affordable price, you can adopt the style we’ve been seeing on the catwalks a lot this season without fretting about the cost.

Old school glasses
A homage to retro design, these Specsavers glasses are a chocolate-brown acetate frame with slim, silver metal sides. They also feature a clear layer inside which altogether adds a modern twist to the iconic “Buddy Holly feel”, which overall for Mark, “dials down the heaviness so they don’t overwhelm the face.” An ideal combination for someone who wants to add a vintage element to their look whilst complementing their features.
And with summer around the corner, you can make these specs into sunglasses with Specsavers tint and UV lens treatment.

Bold, cat-eye sunglasses
Continuing with the sunglasses theme, Mark’s chosen these cat-eye shaped frames as one of his favourite pairs. In a teal-green and maroon tortoiseshell pattern, these bold sunglasses will elevate any outfit with Hollywood glamour.
“You can’t go wrong with a cat-eye frame”, says Mark, “the upturned edges work on most face shapes and add a touch of fabulousness to any look.”
Take Mark’s advice and add these sunnies to your collection to inject an air of sophistication and allure into your summer wardrobe.
