Oversized Glasses, Still Hot For Winter?

It seems so! When it comes to sunglasses anyway. Celebrities have been snapped still hiding behind oversized shades when there’s no sun to speak of, although that may be because of the constant flash of cameras.

Many designers are still flaunting the oversized trend on the catwalk – jackets that seem two sizes too large are big this winter – and this goes for their new winter collections of shades as well. It seems the bug look is here to stay.

However, when it comes to spectacles worn for reasons other than glaring sunshine, camera flashes and to hide the fact that you couldn’t be bothered doing your eye make up before you left the house at that unnatural hour, the oversized trend doesn’t seem to have penetrated for everyday use. They do look great when you’re going for a geek chic style, but when you just want to read in comfort, or watch a film curled up on the couch, they’re not the best style to do it with.

Thankfully, even though huge lenses are very popular among the celebrities, there are plenty of smaller styles available that look great with any outfit and won’t leave dents in the side of your head if you’re comfortably curled up.

Another solution is, of course, contact lenses. With so many options to choose from, you’re sure to find some that will suit your lifestyle. Have a look at getlenses.co.uk for some ideas if you’re not sure what to go for. Their range includes everything from daily lenses (that you throw away when you go to bed) to coloured lenses if you fancy a change now and then. If you don’t know your presciption strength, it’s not a problem. Copy the details from your current box and off you go – you could even pick up a bargain as prices are often cheaper online.
