“January has a lot of baggage,” says fashion designer Sonya Lennon. “We’re on a collective comedown from too much food, too much drink, and too much family, culminating in a mild sense of self-loathing. If we’re lucky, we got to recharge our batteries, but that spits us out into January in a lower gear.” Acknowledging the prevailing dark and flat demeanour of January, Sonya unveils her antidote: colour. “Something happens when you wear colour,” she says. “It imbues you with a sense of power and joy.” She further emphasises the contagious nature of dressing in colour, stating that it not only uplifts the individual but also has a positive impact on those around them.

Searching for a novel way to introduce an element of playfulness to an otherwise pared-back wardrobe? The addition of colourful glasses can bring a welcome dose of colour therapy to dull January days. From the fashion-forward selection at Specsavers and designer-led frames at Optica to affordable styles at Ace & Tate and Jimmy Fairly, be brave when choosing your next pair of glasses. Bold frames allow you to see your style through a new lens – who will you be this year?
