Eyewear Politics: Which Party Does Your Frame Belong To? Part One

Whether we like to admit it or not, every pair of glasses we choose casts a vote. Not in Westminster, but in the daily political theatre of identity, expression and how we want to be perceived. Your glasses can say confident, creative, understated, traditional, rebellious – sometimes before you’ve even said hello.
