What your choice of glasses says about you

In today’s fashion-conscious world, your optical eyewear is as much of a style statement as it is a means of correcting your vision. Just as clothing trends change, so do those for glasses - and our choice of frame reflects our personal style - and even who we are - at any one point in our lives. So whether you never stray from a cat-eye frame or you only ever wear DITA glasses for women, you’re telling the world a little about yourself. Let’s take a look at what your glasses say about you.

Oversized

Oversized frames are for those who are fearless in their choices. They make a strong statement, often complimenting outfits that are bold and daring. Not one for rules, you have an anything-goes approach to fashion, seeking the fun in layering, colour and texture. The LGR Oasi from the Palmerie Collection and the DITA Narcissus would be perfect options for you.

Cat-eye frames

Cat-eye frames soared to popularity in the 1950s and 60s thanks to icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, and are a staple of those who prefer a classic, timeless look. After all, this is a shape that comes back into fashion again and again. If cat-eye frames are your chosen style, you are self-assured, but there’s also a playful, glamorous side to you. Explore the Mykita Esja and the DITA Ficta frames. 

Aviators

The aviator style has strong links to military history, and is often worn by those with a taste for adventure. You’re active, confident and have a presence that never goes unnoticed. If aviators are your go-to frame, you’re in good company; celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna and Ben Affleck were all spotted wearing them in 2023/24. Opt for the Decade Two in the DITA glasses men’s range or the Lite Eero in the Mykita women’s optical range.

Colourful frames

Today’s frames come in a variety of colours, and choosing bright, bold hues shows an artistic, creative side to your personality. They’re popular with extroverts who are happy being in the spotlight, as well as those who are a little quieter but are looking for a change in their style that reflects, perhaps, a change in their lives. Frames such as the LGR Cecile, DITA Aegeus and Lunor A6 246 offer fun colour choices.

Browline or Clubmaster frames

Known as browline or clubmasters, these semi-rimless frames create a smart, businesslike look and are an ideal power accessory for ambitious professionals. They’re simultaneously bold and simple, showing you’re not afraid to make a statement, but that you have plenty of substance to back up your style. The Garrett Leight Oakwood and DITA Hakatron frames are excellent examples.
