Stylish Spectacles: Tokyo Star Optical offers trendy eyewear for everyone
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:34
Do you typically abhor the idea of wearing spectacles out in public? Well, with the recently opened Tokyo Star Optical in Singapore, you might just change your mind.
Seeing that Singapore is probably a country with the most number of people who suffer from myopia, the constant gripe that follows is the lack of spectacles that exude a tinge of style. Instead many have adopted contact lenses as a necessary hassle to avoid the unglamorous look of optical glasses.
However, just over the last couple of years, wearing glasses has emerged as quite the trend, prompting even those with perfect eyesight to sport the accessory for a preppy, bookish vibe. With the trend gaining momentum, more brands have started introducing stylish spectacles in range, effectively luring in the sartorial crowd without fail.
In Singapore, we have Japan’s Tokyo Star Optical that opened its first flagship store (outside of Japan) last November and offers up a mean dish of lightweight (lightest being 6.5 grams) and beautifully designed frames. The latest collection reflects our recurrent obsession with retro looks and a series of pieces in tortoiseshell, floral prints, thick and thin frames, and half or no frames. Available in three fixed prices, SGD96, SGD126 and SGD156 – including frames and aspheric lens – you’ll only have to wait for 15 minutes to get your hands on the ideal eyewear – after all, the brand hails from the land of efficiency.
Additionally, if you’re uncertain about style or fit, eyewear advisors in the store will be able to unleash all sorts of wisdom on the perfect eyewear for a particular occasion, your facial features and for comfort and fit.
Perhaps, it’s not too bad an idea to keep a few different styles on hand – each to suit a different mood or outfit even.
Tokyo Star Optical is located at 1 Raffles Link, #B1-31, Citylink Mall.
