A few other factors to consider when choosing the
right pair for you...
SKIN TONE
Silver and black frames are safe colours in terms of com-
plimenting skin tone, as Gok believes that they work for
both a darker and lighter skin colour. If you are paler how-
ever, you can also get away with soft brown, burgundy or
pink.
EYES
The position of the eyes can be made more noticeable
with gorgeous frames attracting attention to them – for
close-set eyes, “a thin or clear bridge can add width” and
for wide-set eyes, “a coloured bridge will make them
appear closer together”.
If your eyes are your best asset, this is the easiest fea-
ture to enhance with spectacles. You can increase the
attention they get by choosing “glam glasses with a bit of
bling on the arms or a flash of colour to compliment your
eyes”.

NOSES
The pedestals for our new fashion accessory! What our
spectacles sit upon is a very important feature to consid-
er in our choice of eyewear. However, if the thought of
your nose being the centre of attention is making you
reconsider squinting instead, then Gok’s advice could help
you out; “long noses suit a lower bridge and thick plastic
fame...while shorter noses can be balanced with a high
bridge or a frame with a thicker brow line.”
PERSONALITY
This is the last, but by no means least point to consider
when choosing your glasses. As you would with your out-
fit, our fashion guru insists that you should be “using your
glasses to express your mood.” Don’t consider them as
something you have to wear for fear of experiencing a
constant beer-goggles situation. Use the opportunity to
flatter your outfit and features with additional decoration,
remembering always that “Glasses should enhance your
look.”
If you have a beautiful personality and complimenting it
with beautiful bifocals is your only option! Be proud of
your glasses: we get an extra fashion accessory that some
do not, so exploit it and make a statement.With these tips,
you have no excuse not to look fabulous.
