Reading glasses have come a long way from purely functional vision aids. These days, reading glasses are a staple accessory in any stylish wardrobe: just as important as your shoes or watch. And thanks to London Mole’s affordable price point, you don’t need to limit yourself to just one pair. With the right selection, you can have reading glasses to match your mood, outfit, and occasion.
Here's our guide to styling your specs from Monday meetings to Sunday brunch…
For the 9 to 5: sleek and sophisticated
When you're in work mode, opt for classic shapes like square or brow line reading glasses. Square frames project a sharp, intelligent look, while brow line styles add a vintage inspired edge that’s still boardroom appropriate.
Go for neutral tones - think black, tortoiseshell, or soft grey. A matt finish keeps things subtle and professional, while gloss adds a touch of polish.
After work drinks: confident and cool
This is the time to switch things up. Consider bold cat eye frames for a hint of glamour, or a rubberised finish in a bold colour for something more modern and unexpected. These shapes add instant personality and pair beautifully with a smart casual outfit. With London Mole’s budget friendly options, you can afford to keep a statement pair in your bag just for those spontaneous evenings out after work.
Weekend brunch and farmers markets: relaxed and stylish
For relaxed weekends, nothing beats the effortless cool of round or aviator style reading glasses.
Round frames are ideal for a more artistic, laid back look, especially in earthy tones or transparent colours.
Aviators, with their double bridge and wider fit, bring a retro twist that works with denim, knits, and casual layers. Opt for a matt finish for a touch of modern minimalism.
At home: practical but chic
Even your home pair of reading glasses deserves attention. Half moon readers are ideal for perching on the nose during crosswords, recipe reading, or screen time. Choose a lighter frame in a soft finish for comfort and style. With a pair at every reading spot in your home, you'll never be caught squinting.
Reading glasses: why choose just one pair?
With London Mole’s accessible pricing, building a glasses wardrobe for every part of your week couldn’t be easier. Whether you’re in the office, out for drinks, or curled up at home with a book, there’s a pair of reading glasses to fit every part of your life.
