Welcome to the very first issue of our Solent Spectacles Edit.
Each issue, we’ll bring you the latest frames, inclusive prices, and in-store events, helping you see clearly and look your best.
ReForm: New In
We’re excited to introduce ReForm Eyewear to the Solent Spectacles collection: an innovative new brand that combines modern styling with seriously impressive technology.
ReForm frames are designed using advanced flexible materials that allow the glasses to bend, twist, and flex, before effortlessly returning to their original shape. Whether they’re being taken on and off throughout the day, accidentally sat on, or simply put through everyday life, these frames are built to handle it all.
What makes ReForm truly different is the technology behind them. Supported by more than 100 global patents, the brand has developed a unique flexible construction that focuses on comfort, durability and long lasting performance without compromising on style.
The result is eyewear that feels lightweight, comfortable and practical, while still looking sleek and contemporary.
If you’re looking for frames that can keep up with busy lifestyles, active days or simply offer extra peace of mind, ReForm could be the perfect fit.
The ReForm collection starts from £129, which includes a single vision lens.
Meet Paul
We’re excited to welcome a new member to the Solent Spectacles team: Paul, our new Digital Marketing Coordinator.
Having recently completed a degree in digital marketing, Paul is looking forward to bringing fresh ideas and creativity into the business. Alongside this, he’ll also be working in-store, getting to know our customers and building his knowledge of the optical world.
Paul also has a personal connection to the store. Many may remember that our shop was once home to Blockbuster, where he worked as Assistant Manager. The original sign still remains in the building today, making this a particularly special full-circle moment.
He’d like to thank the team for the warm welcome as he settles into his new role.
Keep an eye out for Paul’s work across our social channels over the coming months.
Eyewear Trend: Seeing The World Through Tinted Lenses
Tinted lenses are having a real moment right now. From Hollywood red carpets to everyday street style, coloured lenses are becoming one of the standout eyewear trends of 2026.
Celebrities including Jacob Elordi, Michael B. Jordan and Glen Powell have all been spotted wearing lightly tinted styles, helping to bring a more relaxed, fashion forward feel to modern eyewear. Think vintage inspired lenses in warm amber, soft blue, subtle green and smoky grey tones.
Tinted lenses are not just about style. Depending on the shade and lens type, they can also help reduce glare, improve visual comfort and make bright spring and summer days a little easier on the eyes.
Whether you want something bold and statement making or a subtle everyday tint, there are more options available than ever before and many can even be added to prescription lenses from just £20.
Pop in and speak to the team to explore our latest frame and lens combinations for the season.
