As is the case with the rest of your wardrobe, your glasses act as a visual expression of what makes you an individual. Whether you go for bright and colourful designs or classic black and tortoiseshell, your choice of eyewear makes a big impression and has a huge influence on how you are perceived by everyone around you. Discover what your favourite colour glasses say about you!
