How Specs Are Gaining All The Time In Style & Image

I read last year (I know I’ve had a lot of time off spectacles for a while and I’m just caching up now) three pieces and two completely different articles that endorse just how specs are on the up & up these days when it comes to image.

Jimmy Choo Dixon Sunglasses

First up were two bits about matching your handbag with your spectacles - and I guess (because I’ve lost the link) that this applies to shoes too because these specs featuring in one of the articles are from Jimmy Choo - who from watching TV (SITC) and an occasional glimpse of the OH’s magazines are, I gather,  the dog’s dangly bits when it comes to shoes.

The trouble with the article as I remember was that the shoes and the bags didn’t really match - they were just vguely the same colours.  Now there’s a chance for someone…to actually co-ordinate a pair of specs and a bag and a pair of shoes.

Second up was the concept that fashion at the moment is basically colours and these are really coming out through  “vintage” perspective.  Now I remeber that the Jimmy Choo sunglasses were from this idea. And they do have a vintage colour.   I can see big 50’s appliances in this colourway,not to mention ice cream from the ice box.

Whichever way,  there’s a lot going on with vintage and this is helping specs image no end.  Madmen (seen it?) will probably help bring back browlines soon.
