‘G
lasses come in so many different shapes and sizes, which can dramatically change your look,” explains style guru and Specsavers ambassador Gok Wan. “The secret is to make the most of your best features and play down your least using a combination of colour and shape. Frames should be no higher than the line of your eyebrows. Don’t forget, colours and styles can also reflect your personality so never be afraid to experiment.”
‘Make the most of your features’ Gok Wan, Specsavers ambassador
