SPECS APPEAL

Just because Summer’s ending doesn’t mean you need to say goodbye to feeling specs-tacular. Swap dark shaded for pastel hues and see life through rose tinted glasses…

My obsession for wired framed delicate glasses began when I saw American Psycho– set in 1980s New York, the iconic 80s eye candy that are Oliver Peoples featured heavily. This ocular obsession only grew when I saw Matt Damon sporting a pair in The Talented Mr.Ripley. Thats not to say they are only worn by handsome sociopaths! (sociopaths- so chic!) In 1980s Hollywood they were and still are the spectacle of choice. Oliver Peoples celebrated an anniversary lately and with that re-released alot of their iconic vintage frames which are now enjoying a resurgence. So enjoy that!

THESE CELEBS LOVE THEIR OLIVER PEOPLES SPECS…

…and today he still rocks his Oliver Peoples this time with a hue or two.

Popular with girls too Jennifer Aniston likes to rock hers whilst being smug about the demise of #Brangelina

Zoe Deschanel is also a fan

However if you’re looking for something slightly more contemporary I would suggest checking out Taylor Morris eyewear. Created by Hugo Taylor of Made In Chelsea fame this collection features delicious delicate frames in a variety of colours and effects from simple tortoise shell to dynamic reflective lenses, its a really fun and trendy spin on the classic look.
