Glasses are a far cry from just something to help you see these days. They have become an item of fashion royalty. It has got to the point where people who do not need glasses wear fake ones so that they can be in fashion.

So, what are the most extrovert glasses on the market? Sadly they are not of the ilk that Elton John wore in his early career. It is safe to say that they are slightly less dramatic and a tad more stylish.

To find the most glamorous glasses you have to look at the designer ranges. First call is Chanel. They tend to stay chic and sophisticated with a traditional black frame. But when you look closer you will see that they have diamonds or pearls embedded on the side. For men, the tortoiseshell look seems top of the deck, with a largish frame. All the Chanel glasses scream class and sophistication, with the added bonus of frivolous materials on the edges.

Prada on the other hand seem to have opted for the more colourful approach. With stunning reds, vibrant blues and electric purples you will really make a statement with these glasses. The range I particularly like are the ones that are black on the outside rim and then a vibrant colour of the inside. This keeps your glasses looking sophisticated, but you know you have a splash of colour hiding behind your ears!

Finally, you have the cat eye glasses that are all the range for women. Most designers have their own take on this shape, with added embellishment to attract more custom. However, wherever you buy them from you will be guaranteed the traditional cat eye flick to the corner and the bulbous rounded edge at the opposite corner. You will look stylish and slightly extrovert, exactly what is needed in this fashion obsessed world.

If glasses aren’t for you, then you may try contact lenses instead. They can also be as fashionable as the glasses, and are also available indifferent shades and styles minus the bulky frame. www.getlenses.co.uk carries a wide range of brands such as Acuvue and Freshlook. I totally recommend the latter, as I used to wear a pair of contacts before.
