When dressing for your day-to-day events, it’s important to be conscious that your outfit works, right? Well, the best way to tie it all together is with eyeglasses frames that work! In general, there are three categories that you can use to figure out which frame works best for your outfit. We usually have three “types” of outfits: work attire, casual wear, and fashionable duds for going out - but which glasses go with which outfit? Let’s explore.

Work Attire:One of the best suggestions we can give for work-related style choices is simple, clean, and smart! The old stereotype that glasses help to create a more intelligent and sophisticated appeal never went away, so what could be better than to impress your boss and coworkers with your professional look? The most prominent look that is typically seen in our offices consist of suits, pinstripes, and button-up shirts. Therefore, try matching these looks with neutral colors like blacks, browns, and grays. Also, when choosing your glasses for work tomorrow, try on a simple pair of metal rimless frames or add a bit of drama with dark metal full frames.

Casual Wear: Spending time with friends is the epitome of comfort: good people, good feelings, good times - right? When we’re in a relaxed state, we show off our true selves a little more. One popular style of eyeglasses that are super-casual are the Wayfarer frames. They’re a little retro and a little modern but the greatest part of this new style is that can come is several bright colors! If the wayfarer style is a bit too much for you, don’t worry! Check out our Taylor frames - that are a bit more subtle and less vintage-looking. Ultimately, you want to look for frames that are a combination of comfort and style!

Going Out: Whenever you plan a night out, you always want to look your best! The positive side of a night out is the endless combinations in attire. Try combining the two above styles to emphasize your fun side, while still being able to promote your high sophistication! One great way to truly show off is to go with a frame that is both simple and funky - like the Calvin Klein 998 frame that comes in a cool ruby red hue with a classic full frame design. You could also choose a pair of prescription glasses that appear smart and simple in the front, but is all party on the sides - like the Reece Jakob 6007 in brown.

Whatever style you choose, it’s important to remember that eyeglasses can be an important component to your wardrobe - either as an accessory or as the main event. To stay within a good range, don’t stray too far out of your comfort zone and don’t try to over-power one of your fashion components. You want to compliment or contrast - not compete.
