White glasses: for a pristine chic image this summer

White glasses could give you the fresh face you’re looking for!

As new season updates are more desirable than ever (after months of lockdown dressing) striking out with a fresh image is on many people’s minds. Among the colour directions on course to make a mark for summer 21, a predilection for black and white (or a crisp clean white with nuanced tones of the season) appears to offer a fine and elegant solution for fashion and frames – a statement of simplicity, with a nod to Chanel and the runways of the 90s.  Above: Gigi Studios Icons – Quartz – the universal round panto shape for men or women, model Quartz in stainless steel by Gigi Studios is available in six colorways including a shiny silver with rims hand-painted in cream – https://gigistudios.com

STYLING ADVICE – a note on wearing white on the face: white glasses suit many complexions and we advise to try both all-white and white with metal or other colours to see how the mix effects the look. All-white glasses – just like sunglasses – can look really stunning on many skin tones and particularly olive and black tones. For paler complexions, you can also try off-white – cream, blush and ivory tones are slightly warmer and easier to wear as are the transparent crystal tones which are elegant and timeless. The black and white combo is also one to try if you want a statement look that is very much on-trend in fashion, and if you are coordinating your look with a monochrome outfit, head to toe.
