Tips For Perfecting Your Glasses-Inspired Costume

Once you’ve decided which character you want to be for Halloween, it’s time to put everything together. Here are a few ways to make your costume stand out with unique details.

 

Select the right frames for your costume

To make your costume as cohesive as possible, it is important to choose the right pair of frames. This is essential in bringing the character to life. Vintage styles will work best for costumes that go back in time, while frames with bold and large shapes will suit modern costumes. Experiment with different frame styles and lenses until you find something that fits your costume just right.

 

Add other accessories

Accessorizing beyond your glasses is also important to make your costume work. Put together a list of accessories that your character might have. For instance, a doctor costume might need a pen, watch, and clipboard in addition to glasses, a coat, and a stethoscope. Think of your makeup too as this can really pull a look together for Halloween!

 

Why Incorporate Glasses Into Your Costume?

There are many possibilities for creative costumes with glasses. Aside from that, there are actually some benefits in adding glasses to your costume.

 

Being resourceful

You can use an existing pair of frames that you already own as the starting point of your costume. This allows you to save money on your accessories and makes your costume more comfortable and practical. Plus, you won’t have to worry about seeing clearly! It also ensures that your costume remains faithful to the characters that do have eyewear.

 

Try a new look

You may have been itching to try a new look with your specs. Halloween is the perfect time to experiment with a shape or color that you might not otherwise wear. You can then decide if this new style of glasses is something that you want to keep wearing after the holidays.

 

The Bottom Line

If your eyes are fine and don’t need vision correction, you can still purchase a pair of specs with non-prescription lenses to dress up as a character who has glasses. Choose a great pair of eyeglasses for your Halloween costume and beyond.
