Get spectacle chic, here’s how to pair your eyewear with your outfit

Your eyewear isn’t only about vision – it’s an essential part of your style. Whether you’re rocking bold statement frames or keeping it classic with sleek metal rims, the right pair of glasses can elevate any outfit. But how do you ensure your specs complement your look rather than clash with it? Wesley Language, from Execuspecs, shares his top tips on mastering the art of spectacle chic.

1. Match your frames to your personal aesthetic

“Your glasses should be an extension of your style,” says Language. “If you prefer a minimalist wardrobe with neutral tones, a pair of thin, metal frames in gold or silver will blend seamlessly. On the other hand, if you love bold fashion choices, oversized or colourful frames can add that extra flair.”

2. Consider your face shape and outfit proportions

Balance is key when styling eyewear with clothing. “Rounder faces suit angular frames, while square or heart-shaped faces can soften their look with round or oval frames,” advises Language. When pairing your glasses with outfits, contrast can work in your favour – structured outfits with softer frame shapes and vice versa.

3. Coordinate colours, but don’t overmatch

You don’t need to match your frames exactly to your outfit, but a complementary colour scheme works wonders. “If you’re wearing warm earthy tones like camel or rust, tortoiseshell frames can enhance the look. Cool-toned outfits pair beautifully with sleek black or navy frames,” says Language.

4. Play with occasion-appropriate styles

Just like you wouldn’t wear sneakers to a black-tie event, your glasses should match the occasion. “For work, stick to classic, professional designs – think subtle hues and timeless shapes. For casual days, experiment with fun, chunky frames or trendy transparent styles,” Language suggests.

5. Statement frames? Keep the rest simple

If you’re wearing bold glasses, let them shine. “Avoid busy prints or excessive accessories that compete for attention,” advises Language. “A monochrome outfit or minimal jewellery will allow statement frames to be the star of the show.”

6. Sunglasses count too

Sunglasses are the ultimate fashion-forward accessory. “Oversized shades add instant glam to any outfit, while aviators or wayfarers give off a cool, effortless vibe,” says Language. Whether you are beach-bound or city-chic, the right sunnies can make all the difference.
