I love a good pair of sunnies. Frames and shades are such chic accessories – when worn with purpose, they can completely change your look. It wasn’t until recently that I had to invest in a pair of reading glasses. But now that I have them, I truly love them. And let’s not forget about sunglasses – the right pair can make a statement. Just look at me out with J Lo in the picture below. Can you feel those vibes?
Since the holidays are coming up and wish lists of all kinds are being drafted, it’s time to add some serious frames and sunnies to your holiday must-haves. A good pair of frames will make a great investment and last you through several seasons. The trick is to choose wisely. Read on for some tips on choosing the right pair and some styles you’ll want to add to your wish list.
Haute Frames to Add to Your Wish List
Because I’m such a fan of stylish frames, I was very excited to collaborate with Frame Boutique on a chic guide to finding glasses that are both stylish and affordable. They offer designer frames and prescription lenses, so you can knock out all of these styles in one place. These style rules have always worked for me. They’re the three essentials I always have in my collection of eyewear. Read on for the breakdown.
THE CLASSIC BRAND – You can’t go wrong with a classic pair of glasses because they’ll always be in style. Brands like Ray-Ban, which I’m wearing in my photo with J Lo, are always in style because they’re both retro and modern. A classic frame shape like these aviators will always be around. Adding a mirrored lens gives it a modern, fashion-forward edge.
FASHION FORWARD SUNNIES – I’m lucky enough to have a friend like Victoria Beckham, who designs such chic styles of eyewear. The sunglasses I’m wearing below are bold, edgy, and pull a look together. Investing in a fashion-forward brand ensures you’re always on-trend, even if you’re wearing a casual outfit. I tend to wear these when I’m running errands and it makes me feel instantly posh. You can shop similar ones by Derek Lam or Alexander McQueen for the same effect.
CLASSIC READERS WITH AN EDGE – There comes a point in every woman’s life where she’s faced with the fact that she, too, must wear reading glasses! Ha! But fear not. Glasses are so fashionable these days – it’s hard not to find a beautiful pair to elevate your style.
Some tips on these: I opted for a thick frame with slightly turned-up corners to flatter my face. The sides are a lighter color to give the style some levity. Play with colors and styles that make you feel fun and sexy. You’ll never want to take them off!
