Embrace the stay-at-home party season with vigour and more-is-more embellished or bejewelled eyewear. Word of warning: these are frames not suited to wallflowers.

Lizzy's style notes...

Each month, OT columnist, Lizzy Yeowart, considers a dispensing scenario. This month: statement frames to wear at home

Lizzy says...

Lockdown + winter means less going “out out” and (even) more staying home in front of a screen. Here are two super-lightweight styles with a large eye-size that lend themselves to online work and play.

Transparent crystal

STS-30012’ from Stepper Eyewear

The Stepper ‘STS-30012’ weighs just 8g. The transparent crystal means it’s as perfect for Monday morning meetings as it is for Friday night pub quizzes.
