Specs: Standing out from the crowd

Wearing glasses has long been associated with prestige but you do not need to be posh to wear them! Appearance is important for boosting our confidence but this does not necessarily define who we are. If you really want to look the part in your job role by standing out from the crowd, choosing the correct frame is key.

The modern phenomenon of wearing spectacles has now been made into a fashion statement. Even people with clear vision now crave for non-prescription specs as a result of the impression glasses create. It gives them a status, a reliable, honest and sophisticated look, which could land you a role at a job interview. But be warned, looks can be deceiving!

Etiquette often involves looking your best and acting in a certain way. Nevertheless, people judge not only your character but also your success based on visual indicators. Consequently, these indicators are extremely powerful because people often draw a conclusion before you even have a conversation with them.
