Glasses Provide Perfect Winter Fashion for Eyes

Did you know wearing glasses can actually change the way other people see you? Well, according to a study conducted by the British College of Optometrists, people who wear glasses are often viewed as smarter and more professional. In addition, the study showed if you’re wearing glasses, you are more likely to get a job than if you aren’t wearing spectacles. So, it’s important you don’t just look at your glasses as a tool with which to see better, but also as a way to look better on a daily basis.

The Best Glasses for the Start of 2014

Want to purchase the best, most fashionable pair of glasses for the beginning of 2014? Then you need to start by analyzing the shape of your face first. For example, if you have a round face, Real Simple recommends you pick a square or angular frame that will make your face look thinner and longer. Even the most stylish pair of glasses out there isn’t going to look good on you if you choose the wrong shape for your face.

Don’t Just Pick One Style

If you can afford it, InStyle recommends having several different pairs of glasses on hand. This fashion mag says glasses are a great way to “showcase your different moods and styles.” One of the best ways to stretch your eyewear dollars is to purchase affordable glasses through Vision Direct, an online retailer. As with clothing, sometimes it is best to have several inexpensive fashionable and trendy pieces in your collection in addition to one or two expensive staples in order to give you the most style options.

Better than Concealer

Did you stay up too late the night before partying, or do you have a colicky baby that keeps you from sleeping at night? If so, you’re probably paying for your lack of sleep with dark circles or bags under your eyes. A pair of attractive glasses with a small frame can help you conceal those flaws. You just need to make sure the bottom rim of your glasses will cover those puffy bags and dark circles.

Change It Up

There will be times this fall when the best fashion statement for your eyes may be no glasses at all. For example, if you are planning on showcasing a pair of ornate, dangling earrings, you may want to opt to wear contacts — if you own them — instead of glasses. Remember, if your point is to bring attention to the stunning pair of earrings you are wearing, you don’t want anything, even your glasses, to detract from them.

Another reason why you might want to opt for a no-glasses look is if you want to try out this season’s makeup trends. Harper’s Bazaar says one of the looks for winter, is a dramatic cat eye. This is one of those looks you don’t want to hide behind glasses. You may even want to accent a colorful cat eye with matching colored contact lenses — for example, an icy aqua cat eye could be set off with dramatic deep blue contact lenses.

On the other hand, if you decide to wear interesting glasses, minimize your eye makeup. Instead, opt to go bold with your lip color.

Elin Kling for Marciano Channels GUESS History With New Capsule Collection

Two nights ago we found ourselves in a beautiful space just north of Union Square in NYC celebrating the launch of Elin Kling’s collaboration with GUESS by Marciano. Kling first came into the online fashion scene in 2007 when she launched her blog Style by Kling and has since become a global style icon. Among many other accolades, the tall blonde Swedish beauty is currently the co-founder and partner of Fashion Networks, a Stockholm-based global media enterprise that connects influential bloggers with leading fashion brands.

Kling’s new line, set to launch at the beginning of November, is a reflection of the history of GUESS. “It’s been fun to use their history and the typical iconic Guess pieces like the bustier— I’ve just done everything how I would wear it,” she tells us. Western and matador influence is apparent, but simple and elegant silhouettes composed of cozy knits, leather, and embroidery gives each piece a relevant feel. The streamlined capsule collection consists of 33 neutral pieces that can be mixed and matched to form a number a different looks.

The crop tops and shift dresses are standouts, as well as her hardware-embellished cross-body bags. To complete the look, Kling gave us some beauty advice: “I love creamy makeup. Especially for everyday wear, I think it’s great. It gives you shine which I love. I think it looks fresh.”

Keep up with Marciano’s Twitter feed to find out when exactly the line hits the shelves and check out a few of our snapshots below.

How to Rock the Right Fit

Jeans are the ultimate wardrobe staple so it’s so important to find the fit that’s right for you. For me, I’ll always be a die-hard skinny jeans girl. I tend to go for a low-rise pair with a little bit of stretch that are super tapered at the ankle. You can make this look work no matter what your body type. Here’s How:

Tall: You lucky ladies with mile-long legs can rock knee-high boots or cuff your jeans while still keeping your proportions. For summer, try cuffed jeans with an edgy gladiator sandal.

Petite/Short: Being a petite girl myself, I love to pair my jeans with a sky high pump. All you need is a sexy blouse and a cool clutch and you’re ready for a night out on the town.

Curvy: My best piece of advice for curvy ladies is look for pieces that accentuate your curves. A top with a cinched waist creates a beautiful silhouette to show off your figure.

Thin: To add a bit of feminine flair to a boyish figure, try embellishments! Shine, sequins, you can do it all.

The former Editor in Chief of Avenue Magazine and born and bred Manhattanite (he is related to the Mortimer family and his great grandfather founded The Davis Cup) gives us an inside look at NYC’s old and new elite–SCENE is unique because it is not just a magazine about them, but by them. In the first issue, biting features like Where in the World is John Galliano and The Socialite/The Shopping Site/The Scandal! are sure to ruffle a few feathers. I caught up with the stylish literati where he shares some of his insider secrets and the scoop on SCENE.
