Funky festival frames
If there’s any place where it’s socially acceptable to go wild with your style, it’s a festival. The fashion rules no longer apply — you could go retro with an oversized vintage shirt, or more modern with shorts and a tank top. Either way, you’re going to need to accessorise, and funky glasses are a festival must-have. The bolder the better we think.
Retro vibes
The retro scene is big at festivals, so you’ll want to stay on trend. We think the hippies in the ‘60s had the right idea, and their style is perfect to create your festival look — just grab a tie-dye t-shirt and you’re halfway there.
Next, you’ll need some glasses to match, and nothing says retro like wide oval glasses adorned with a captivating mix of white flecks and multi-hued blues, these frames emit a refreshingly cool and icy appearance.
Looking for funky sunglasses that keep your eyes protected too? These stand-out sunnies from Specsavers are a great festival fit.
Crafted in sleek, super-slim metal, the AZIZI SUN RX sunglasses draw inspiration from the timeless pilot style frame, ensuring a guaranteed infusion of style.
Technicolour specs
We know that not everyone likes to go for the vintage vibe at festivals. Some people are just more into neon — and we love that too. If you love colour, then we know you’re not afraid to be adventurous with your glasses style. These SuperDry SDO 03 are infused with a signature touch: neon green accents adorn the temples and inside tips, providing a vibrant pop of colour.
More of a glitter person? These Marc Jacobs 25 glasses will complete your festival style. The magenta colour pops, and their sparkly sides will complement glitter make-up or face paint for the ultimate festival look.
Colour-tinted glasses are another festival style staple. To get the look with prescription lenses, simply choose your favourite frames and then add a coloured lens tint.
Themed frames
Want your stylish specs to be the talk of the party? We’ve got you covered. Whether you’re going to a themed party and need that missing accessory to complete your look, or just want to add a retro twist to your party outfit — funky glasses are the way forward.
The easiest way to go bold with your glasses is to go big. Oversized frames are great, just find your pair and rock them all day long. These AURORA 24 purple frames are big, bold and perfect for a 70s-inspired outfit. Think Sonny and Cher or Studio 54.
Going back to the 50s with your frames? The cat-eye silhouette is very much trending again and is the perfect frame to complete a retro-inspired look. These DKNY DK5031 prescription glasses are a great take on the cat-eye design. Their exaggerated wings combined with the captivating tortoishell palette make the design very glamorous — they’re definitely bold, but also very stylish. Perfect for a 50s diner-style outfit.
Funky glasses for everyday
If you thought that statement specs were only for outlandish occasions, think again. Funky glasses can be part of your everyday style too.
Go wild for animal print
You can never go wrong with an animal print — they’re patterned enough to catch someone's attention, but not too ‘out-there’ that they would overpower your outfit. These Karren Millen KM 105 frames are stylish and fashion-forward. The cheetah print has golden undertones to bring out the elegance of such a timeless print – a perfect touch of luxury to your everyday looks.
In keeping with the jungle theme, these Specsavers HARRIET glasses are another alternative. Their green, tortoiseshell print adds a touch of animal adventure, while their classic frame shape is simple enough to be worn every day. A perfect way to be bold without being too bold.
Your go-to statement sunnies
Sunglasses can still be fun without the need for neon colours or big, bold patterns. For a statement look that’s more suited to everyday wear, these BALMAIN BL1550S SUN RX frames tick all the boxes. Their abstract cat-eye shape adds a contemporary twist to the retro style.
