The wide variety of different styles and shaped glasses make choosing the right pair no easy task. As well as supporting your vision with quality lenses, your glasses should fit effortlessly with your personal style and reflect your personality.

The first step starts with determining your face shape. Is it round, oval, oblong, triangular, square, heart or diamond shaped? If the answer isn’t immediately obvious, ask for a second opinion from a friend or family member or take a selfie of yourself facing directly into the camera to get a better idea.

With that in mind here are a few tips for choosing... read more

Okay, we admit it, it’s true, we like movies at SelectSpecs.com and especially Superhero movies it seems. This week we went to see The Wolverine with Hugh Jackman… We didn’t actually go with Hugh Jackman unfortunately, he’s just in the film.

The film features Russian actress Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper, who is frequently seen wearing these rather stunning looking Tom Ford FT0304 Nastasya Cat’s Eye Style Sunglasses in colour 28G. The shape is a perfect match for her character and the colour seemed to go with any outfit she was wearing during... read more

Lenny Kravitz Wearing Aviator Sunglasses and a Chuffin’ MASSIVE Scarf!!!

December 20, 2012June 23, 2014 Chris (SelectSpecs) 1 Comment

Lenny Kravitz was out Christmas shopping in New York this week, wearing a hat, sunglasses and scarf and looking all fashionable and what-not. Who says you can’t wear sunglasses in Winter, when the sun is low in the sky?

Lenny Kravitz was wearing Aviator Sunglasses, one of his favourite styles (based on previous sightings). But its hard not to notice that MASSIVE carpet off-cut he seems to be wearing for a scarf. That’s probably a field-full of sheep that has gone into producing that fashion accessory… The thing must weigh an absolute tonne. Whatever way... read more

As we move ever closer to the release date of James Bond: Skyfall the more movie set pictures we begin to see from the media and fans close to the filming action (we actually caught some of the filming for Die another Day at Manston Airport, Kent back in 2002!). We reported back in December 2011 that Daniel Craig would be kitted out in Tom Ford clothing and accessories, now thanks to the media and fans we can see what Tom Ford sunglasses James Bond will be wearing in Skyfall.
