Fast Fashion High-Quality Eyewear is Now a Thing

The fast fashion bug has bitten every consumer the world over, but people may be surprised to hear the fast-changing style merry-go-round doesn’t just apply to the shirt on your back. Eyewear is just as essential a part of your style repertoire – and like with jackets, shirts, or shoes, there are some tried and tested eyewear options that stand the test of time.

Having a few staple eyewear designs in your arsenal is never a bad idea, whether you need some prescription specs or fashionable shades. The problem with using fast fashion retailers for eyewear is that materials in eyewear lenses need to be high quality since they’re going to affect your vision, and when it comes to the well-being of your eyes, it’s best not to cut any corners. Luckily Torga Optical’s new Essentials line has a number of iconic designs that offer the best combination of price, so you can change up your look at the drop of a hat, but also at an affordable price.

So we’re going to take a look at three of the most iconic designs; and how you can incorporate them into your eyewear rotation!

The good ole classic – Torga ‘Preppy 21’ 

This is a style pretty much everyone needs to have – primarily because its design and construction flatters pretty much any face type. It’s always important to pay attention to your facial structure and pick eyewear that compliments you. The rectangular, more geometric style is not only on trend because of the massive retro influence in current fashion, but it just objectively flatters pretty much everyone. Everyone from John F. Kennedy to Jay-Z have used these to pull off epic looks.

Round Frames – Torga ‘AG 013’ / Torga ‘Enigma 4023’

Anyone who’s a fan of John Lennon will instantly recognise the round frame style he was famous for, but this style of frame turns the fashion-difficulty notch up a little bit. These frames aren’t as ubiquitous and general as more rectangular shaped frames, because they only really compliment those with longer or more angular faces. So if you’re someone with a square or round face, you’ll generally be better off with something like Torga’s Preppy 21, but for any slim-faced guys out there that want to add something more unique to their options, this is a good bet.

A touch of McQueen – ‘Torga Enigma 4019’

This style suits a variety of face shapes, but looks best on rectangular or square faces, although the sloped brow and rounded design of the lens frames mean that it has decent versatility. If you really want to turn on the style, then get them with some ice blue lenses and you’ll look you’re straight out of a 1960’s cop-drama, and that’s a good thing.
