Fashion doyenne Carrie Donovan was known for two things: her sharp eye for fashion and her trademark oversized glasses. She was well-known for her oversized frames, and those who admired her work as the style editor of New York Magazine would wear oversized glasses as well. These days, many people wear oversized frames in order to make a fashion statement. That statement is: “I’m not afraid to be big and bold. I’m looking great, and I know it!”
Being able to pull off frames as large as Donovan’s requires only one overriding characteristic in your style: confidence. Wear oversized glasses without confidence and you’ll look like a fashion-stunted nerd. Wear them with confidence, and people will see that you have a personality even bigger than your giant frames. Wearing the frames that you like is a luxury of the cool. Show that you’re cool enough by wearing glasses you like.
