Glasses have a significant impact on how others perceive us and how we see ourselves, whether we've worn them since childhood or just started wearing them. They are an essential part of our identity and can greatly influence the way others perceive us. Forget the saying "you are what you eat," because really, you are what you wear!
With the right eyeglasses, you have the power to create the image you want people to see. The most crucial step is to find the frames that truly reflect your personality and lifestyle. In this blog post, we’ll review which frames could be the perfect fit for your unique personality!
For the Modern Senior
Just because you're older doesn't mean you have to wear old-fashioned glasses. To achieve a more youthful appearance, it is recommended to wear glasses that uplift your face. Good examples of frames that can help achieve this effect are upswept rectangles for men and cat-eye frames for women. The best colors to achieve a youthful look are deep browns, gunmetal, and burgundy for men. Women are better off with light shinier hues. For a more youthful appeal, we recommend avoiding bifocals and trifocals. Instead, opt for progressive lenses that provide clear vision for both close-up and distant viewing.
For the Student
There is no better time than high school and college to develop your own identity. Without being confined to a work environment, now is the time in our lives when we have the most freedom to choose what we wear and how we present ourselves to the world. Students, young people (and let's be honest, even the young-at-heart) can experiment with a wide range of colors and shapes. This is the perfect time for you to experiment with unconventional frame styles. Our advice is to have fun and explore!
For the Professional
Wearing the right glasses can help you build trust and confidence among your colleagues and business clients. For serious entrepreneurs and business professionals, it is advised to opt for glasses with conservative frame shapes and colors. We would recommend colors like gold, brown, silver or black and go for classic shapes such as rectangles, ovals, and almonds. You might also consider opting for stainless steel and titanium frames. Classic tortoise patterns are a great choice for both men and women, as they effortlessly blend in with business attire.
For the Busy Parents
Busy moms and dads have little to no time to keep up with the latest trends in eyewear. That's why a basic pair of glasses with stylish frames works best. Unless you work in a high-profile, public position, your colleagues will understand if your eyewear is slightly out of date. There may be a few personal reasons to update your frames if you're busy raising children. Perhaps you simply want to treat yourself and give your look a refresh. Additionally, if you want your child's friends to see you as the "cool parent," updating your frames could help achieve that. Indeed, the sky's the limit here, and you may have more freedom to be quirky and unique than even the students mentioned earlier!
