Splurge or Save Specs: 5 Styles, 10 Options

Purchasing glasses can be tricky at times, and sometimes confusing when there’s a large variety available, so we are going to break it down for you based on two key factors; trending styles of the moment, and your budget.

If you are interested in trying out a new trend and are worried about it not suiting you; try the save option. Or if you already know you love the style, are ready to commit and your budget allows, treat yourself to the splurge. Either way, we’ve got you covered. Happy Shopping!

The clear spec trend is here to stay, they are colourless and therefore go with anything and everything, they also add a certain futuristic element to otherwise basic attire, and to be honest they are just really fun.

Aviators give off an androgynous vibe, which is all the rage currently. So why not throw on a pair to contrast your most feminine looks, or just to try a new trend. Plus they are flattering on most face shapes, a great tip is to try different sizes of them to find your ideal pair.

The Splurge glasses come to you courtesy of Tom Ford, the FT5380 at £191 and change, while the more delicate framed Hallmark CF919 pair is a steal at £16 on sale.
