Feeling confident at work in your glasses

There is a misconception in society that many people who wear glasses only do so out of necessity and a fundamental need to see. However, despite being beneficial for people’s eyesight, many choose to wear their glasses because they make them feel more confident — especially when they are in work-based environments or more formal situations. As society begins to move back to the office after a long time at home, then it’s important to feel comfortable doing so. 

The good news is, glasses confidence amongst Specsavers customers is very high, particular in work-based settings.1 Taking a closer understanding of part-time wearers, who split their time between contact lenses, glasses and non-glasses, 90% of these people who wear their glasses for work feel confident in doing so.1 This shows us that many people choose to wear their specs when they go to the office as they make them feel more confident and comfortable.

In the words of Specsavers’ Head of Frames, Accessories and Merchandising Megan Toothill; “the right pair of glasses can make you feel, and look, great at work. For lots of people who wear glasses most of the time, glasses are part of their identity so choosing a pair of glasses that reflects your style and personality is key to feeling confident in them at work. I love wearing glasses and I’ll admit to regularly switching between six or seven pairs depending on the occasion, what I’m wearing or how I’m feeling! Explore different shapes to find the one that suits you best and don’t be afraid to experiment with colour. When you find a frame you love wearing, you’ll definitely feel a confidence boost that won’t go unnoticed by your colleagues!”

With this in mind, here’s a list of suggested frames from Specsavers’ in-house frame expert that would be perfect for your back to office look:

Brown glasses for your first day back

Metal frame glasses for your next meeting

Simple black glasses for your upcoming presentation

Colourful glasses for your after-work drinks

Let’s remove the misconception that glasses wearers only wear their specs for necessity but start looking at them as an accessory for the face, that will highlight your features and help to boost your confidence — they should be nothing to be ashamed of and are a great addition to everyone’s look. Leaving you with wise words from Specsavers’ Megan Toothill: “There is such a breadth of choice in our range, that whatever your work style is, you’ll find a frame style to complement, or enhance it.” Take a look at the in-house expert’s collection here to find your ideal pair of glasses to wear as you head back to the office.
