Do you have a pair of prescription glasses exclusively for reading? If not, it is definitely worth getting a pair. As well as being highly practical, a pair of reading glasses is actually a really fashionable accessory to carry around with you. Finding the right frames to match your wardrobe on different occasions is a great way to make a confident fashion statement. Achieve a trendy, intellectual look and combine style and function with the perfect pair.
What are reading glasses?
Reading glasses help you to see things up close. As we get older – most commonly when we reach the age of 40, although this age can vary – our eyes find it more of a challenge to focus on objects close by. The condition is referred to as presbyopia. This is where prescription reading glasses can really come in handy and help you to see. Also, bifocal or varifocal lenses are another convenient solution, allowing you to see at more than one distance whilst wearing the same pair of glasses.
Reading glasses for women
We would recommend a simple, yet elegant feminine design. Bright colours and bold patterns are also very on-trend at the moment. When it comes to reading glasses, you want them to be both practical and stylish. A classy cat-eye will give you a bold and confident look while a traditional metal frame will make you appear smart and professional. If you’re a bit of a bookworm who is never able to put their favourite book down, you’ll want something that is easy to wear. Rimless glasses are an excellent option when you are reading for long hours as they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. The rimless design also enables you to see clearly without any material around the edge of the lenses to distract you.
Reading glasses for men
Find a pair of glasses that not only are comfortable to wear and robust but that also match your natural sense of style. Go for something retro like a classic Clubmaster or choose a semi-rimless frame for a suave and sophisticated look. If you love sports, try a pair of glasses from one of our sportier brands. Turn heads next time you’re flicking through a real page-turner!
Styles to suit everyone
Are you looking for something more neutral that will go with a number of outfits? If that’s the case then try a retro Aviator or a classic Wayfarer. These styles are versatile and often designed with larger lenses, allowing a greater field of vision when you’re reading. Alternatively, you can go for something classic like a retro round frame with a contemporary design or a simple, yet smart all-black frame.
