So what’s with the clear lens glasses trend? Nothing much, they’re just cool, but I could notice a lot of people whom are wearing prescription glasses feeling offended by this trend. Why so?! I am short-sighted and blinder than a bat, wearing contact lenses outside the house and now while writing this article I’m using my prescription glasses, but if I believe these frames would give that little something extra to my outfit, I’d wear them in a heartbeat. So what is there to feel offended by? I know it’s not cool to wear glasses all the time, but hey, that’s why we got other alternatives, such as contacts or surgery :).
Glasses turned into a fashion accessory, and if my prescription glasses would look this cool, then you can make sure I’d even wear them on the street. But you know, the regular glasses are less cool and the costs of doing prescription ones on this type of lens can be quite high. I remember having to pay about 250$ only for the lens of my Ray Ban Wayfayer inspired pair. Quite expensive, but I’ve been using them for about four or five years and they are still in a great condition. They wouldn’t have any scratch if my dad wouldn’t have dropped them on cement, thanks dad.
So yeah, before judging them, you should give them a try. I remember first seeing the trend emerging on Instagram, and I was like hey, they look really cool, I should get myself a pair and see how I like them. Luckily, while taking my mom to the commercial center, I also managed to run into a pair of clear lens glasses. It was love at first sight, and they weren’t expensive at all. Found them at Zara for about 13$ and I’d love wearing them with pretty much everything. But first things first, I’ve tried them in what I like to call a spring-summer perfect outfit. Breezy, chic with a small dose of retro, I’ve mixed the clear lens glasses with a pair of high waist gingham trousers, an extremely ruffled shirt and a pair of Gucci inspired shoes. Tried my best to find a similar budget friendly alternative, but sadly I couldn’t find one online :(. Really sorry about it, but I’ll keep scouting! So how do you feel about this trend? xx

Thank you, Mel! xx
Hahah I definitely get that it can be annoying when glasses are trending and they’re not cheap to buy in the function that would suit for you. But hey, these ones are so stylish though?! Love how you styled them retro too with the gingham and green shoes. So fashionable babe! Xx

My husband wears glasses so I can relate. Yes, they are definitely not cheap. Will have to check Zara’s for the clear lens glasses. Thank you for sharing. Your style is so effortless. I really love your gingham pants and those green heels are everything. You look gorgeous as always.

I wear glasses, and they are some expensive Tom Ford. I love the clear glass trend, but i don’t look at them the same as my prescription. These glasses are just cute and fashionable and they look great on you. I’m loving the top as well.

I am not sure about the clear glasses trend – I much prefer my eyes protected.

I love everything about this outfit, gal! You are the queen of retro style. I agree glasses are a fun accessory and blind people (like us) shouldn’t get offended by it 🙂 I realise how fashionable my dad actually was, hehehe. Those shoes are gorgeous and the earrings are the perfect chic touch. Happy week, babe!

I totally like your attitude because I think it’s much more worth it to try something out first before judging about it. Those lenses look amazing on you and I love this chic look which is causal at the same time 🙂

Ha! As a fellow prescription glasses wearer, I’m not really bothered by non-prescription lenses. They’re cute, everyone should try them! This particular style is one of my favorites though, and they look fantastic on you! This outfit is killer as well. I saw a peek on Instagram and was immediately inspired, no joke.
I hope you have a wonderful week!

Those glasses look so good on you, girl! I, too, wear contacts during the day and prescriptions at night. I’ve been wearing glasses since the 1st grade, that’s a loooooong time,haha. I agree, I don’t think anyone who actually wears readers should feel offended, it’s a harmless trend. In fact, we should be happy because when we were kids, it wasn’t cool to wear glasses and today it is 🙂 Aside from the glasses, I also love your outfit! That top looks so beautiful paired with those pants and fab Gucci shoes! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a great day so far!

I am definitely not at all offended by this trend and I need glasses or contacts to see. In fact, I’ve worn my contacts while wearing these glasses to add to my overall ensemble. I absolutely love how you wore them! Sometimes I find them difficult to style but you’ve nailed the look down!

I am SO happy about this post. I’ve actually wanted a pair of those so so bad. It would probably force me to wear my glasses more often because I too am blind. Hah!
