If your New Year’s Resolution is to update a tired wardrobe, eyewear is a great place to start. Accessorising is an easy way to experiment with different styles, narratives and trends; and quirky or unique glasses can give you the edge in any season.
Whether you’re inspired by catwalk clobber or you prefer something much more low-key, there’s a frame to fit every wardrobe personality. Here are 5 unique glasses styles to try in 2023!
Brightly Coloured Frames
Give your wardrobe a total refresh by injecting lots of bright colours in SS23. This year, we’re seeing lots of optimism in fashion, and the runways are incorporating plenty of bold hues to get us all excited for spring.
The shade to keep an eye on is the Pantone® Colour of The Year, Viva Magenta. This is an empowering colour to uplift the free spirit and looks great on all skin tones. Get the look with the Kensie ELEMENT specs, featuring patterned temples and a modern frame front.
Super Nerd Specs
Geek chic has always been hot, but this year we’re seeing the return of round rimmed glasses as inspired by the super nerds of the 1920s, and then later in the 1970s. You can go bold with a thick black frame front, or take a slightly more subtle approach with a timeless tortoiseshell pattern.
The pocket friendly Infinity YKW0055 frames are perfect for standing out from the crowd…
…..while the Infinity IP2062 glasses are great for everyday wear and those who have a more understated style…
Extreme Cateye Glasses
Think classic cateye frames but with a twist! From ultra-exaggerated silhouettes and extra thick rims to patterns or embellishments that help you get noticed, there are so many ways you can celebrate this unique glasses style.
We think these Moschino MOS545 specs are perfect if you want to be a little bit different. Wear with everyday jeans and t-shirt combos or style with your work attire for an added edge.
Patterned Eyewear
One way to embrace the unique glasses look is to experiment with different prints, colours and patterns. An enduring print that is present on the runway year after year, season after season, is animal print.
This gorgeous Kate Spade CRISHELL frame features ever-popular leopard print, something that looks great with almost anything in your wardrobe. Wear these specs to instantly elevate your ensemble and give everyday ‘normcore’ a total overhaul.
Unique Glasses with Ombre Hues
Gradients using contrasting colours can bring a dull wardrobe to life. With eyewear, you can brighten up your face, making it easier to go ‘au naturel’ when you don’t have time to do a full face of makeup.
Jump onboard with the ombre trend and get your hands on the brand new Marc Jacobs MARC 593 prescription glasses. They’re available in three fabulous colourways to fit your skin tone and personality.
