Jane’s Pick:
Crystal Pink (or Nude) Spectacle Frames
Frames that are gaining in popularity right now as a unisex option, are crystal frames. These frames come in a range of shapes, colours and lens sizes. While Jane’s favourites (the Crystal Pink (or Nude) frames) are typically more popular with women, Jane says, don’t limit yourself. If you like them and they are a good fit and comfortable, then go for it.
Besides Crystal Pink (or Nude), crystal frames also come in sage, greys, blues, and a clear option. The Crystal Pink (or Nude) frames look fantastic with most complexions and you can pair them with anything, from a pair of slacks, or a nice suit, to more glamourous evening wear. The Crystal Pink (or Nude) frames are so versatile, you don’t need to worry about what clothes you wear with them at all, because these frames go with everything. And, if you don’t like your glasses to stand out too much and be too conspicuous, these frames tick that box too.
Manufacturers of crystal frames include Jimmy Choo – they offer a stunning collection, with a range of appealing shapes; ProDesign from Denmark (Jane’s most favourite designer of frames) and Cocoa Mint. ProDesign’s crystal frames are also great quality and they are hardy frames with beautiful designs. Cocoa Mint’s frames (from the UK) are more on the petite side. All three brands are excellent quality frames and Jane loves them all so much, she has a pair from each range as all the frames look slightly different.
