Gretta's Got It! Fabulous frames

A great pair of glasses won't only have you seeing better, they should also have you looking better to the rest of the world. 7's Gretta Monahan shows us how.

Start by thinking of your eye wear as an accessory not a necessity.

Fabulous frames are important because unlike new bag or a great pair of shoes, glasses are the first thing that people will see.

Gretta Monahan
"The biggest mistake people make, is choosing outdated frames or trendy one's that don't fit their face."

So pick a pair that brings out your personality and style.
 
"See how wrong these are for me? (Wearing a new pair) Now that's what I'm talking about."

Gretta Monahan
"So, here are the hottest styles of the season, you'll notice that they are all a similar shape is the square oval.  Two-toned frames are the new hot thing.  And a little bit of bling, metal frames are a must, and don't forget your classic tortoise.

Today you have more choices; from sophisticated, and fun, to trendy and hip.  But the first thing you need to do is decide what kind of frames are for you.

If you have a round face create angles, try rectangle or square frames.  Oval faces look great in classic looks a heart shaped face, try a modified cat eye, a square face looks great in rounder rims

Gretta Monahan
"And don't let those designer duds set you back, start with eyewear."

"So invest in a few different styles. You don't wear the same outfit to the office that you would to a black-tie event."

So, your eyewear should change to fit the occasion.

Angela Gunn, Len's Crafters
"A normal person would probably have two pair of glasses, a fashion forward person, four pairs.
