According to statistics, over half the population of the UK wear glasses yet only in recent years has the market been given the attention it deserves. Some of us repel them for fear of previous offerings being a hindrance to our personal style, but now they’re becoming an extension of it; a chance for fun and endless possibilities.

Thanks to Scotch & Soda, specs have never looked better with the latest offering from Amsterdam-born brand. At the heart of their AW21 optical collection lies an array of eyewear styles for the adventurer in all of us. “No borders, just horizons, only freedom” words of aviator legend Amelia Earhart herself give everything you need to hear about the styles; a mix of masculine and feminine oozing with confidence and modern charm.

Expect face-framing shapes with the lightest of frames using airy metals and trendy acetate all bound with contemporary browns and soft greys. Scotch & Soda are known for their attention to detail and their optical range is no exception with the aviator style of the collection bearing centre-stage and quite rightly so. It’s a take on tradition like you’ve never seen it before with coin-edge detailing and a clever combination of metal and acetate. Tortoiseshell also gets an overhaul with slick designs seen across a number of styles all set to highlight your very best features.
