Individual fashion choices can be the best way
to create a unique, personal image. But whether you choose to dress for
functionality or flair, there is a glasses style to suit you. With these
lifestyle scenarios paired with the perfect pair of frames, shopping has never
been so easy.
The high-flyer
Do you fly a helicopter to the office on a
Monday morning? Do you own more than one sports car? Or perhaps you just want
to look like you do... The High-Flyer is accomplished, powerful and wealthy
with a classic, smart sense of style, often involving a tailored suit and shiny
shoes- think Barack Obama/James Bond. For this look, the ideal pair of glasses
have dark frames in a classic rectangular shape, ideal for glowering down at
your employees. Designer brands are an ideal choice for projecting an image of
a life of luxury and ease. Sunglasses for this kind of businessman should have
dark tinted lenses; again, designer brands are preferable.
The laid-back guy
For the laid-back look, basically, anything goes. But if you’re not interested in power-dressing, you can afford to have more fun with your eyewear- think boy band members on a day off. Coloured frames are a good choice, though avoid anything too bright; dark blue or green are ideal. As for sunglasses, the same rule applies; more interesting shaped-frames and colours can be worn. Sunglasses can be worn tucked into the front of a shirt or pocket because the key is to look relaxed and comfortable.
The quirky geek
A regular at music festivals and shopping
centres, quirky geeks should wear cool retro frames. Wayfarers and semi-rimless
wayfarers are the ideal shape for retro style and with a tortoiseshell frame,
geeky chic is an easy look to create. Ray Bans are the classic brand choice for
retro frames but try looking further afield for a more unique look. However,
for the full geeky image you should experiment with your wardrobe; skinny jeans
and cardigans are a must.
The sports fanatic
The sports fanatic is a common sight on the football field or local gym. For this look, a pair of bright frames is ideal, preferably with reflective coloured lenses. Sports brands such as Adidas and Oakley are reliable for delivering quality eyewear with an emphasis on performance. In terms of frame shape, wraparound visor is a popular look for both style and functionality. Try wearing with some sparkling white trainers for the whole look.
The intellectual
So whatever your lifestyle (or your lifestyle ambitions),
choose your eyewear to suit your preferred image. Or alternatively, try
thinking outside the box and be imaginative with your glasses; it’s all down to
your individual choice.
