<p>We&#8217;re all about specs appeal here at Muddy. Aside from the fact I cannot see without glasses – and have recently had to add readers to my eyewear arsenal – I actually love wearing them. </p>



<p>Trouble is, if you want to own multiple pairs to mix and match to your mood or OOTD, the costs become, eek, eye-wateringly expensive. The average pair of specs, with lenses, comes in at about £400. Elton John is rumoured to own 20,000 specs and a staggering 250,000 pairs of sunglasses – so you do the maths. To become a dedicated follower of spectacle style you need deep pockets.</p>



<p>Well, not necessarily.<strong> <a href="https://www.drvalariejerome.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Dr Valerie Jerome (opens in a new tab)">Dr Valerie Jerome</a></strong> – owner of Newbury&#8217;s super-cool indie opticians – has just launched The Berkshire Collection. It&#8217;s a carefully curated collection of stylish frames for £129… INCLUDING single vision lenses. Could this be the answer to our fashion eyewear woes? Absolutely. It&#8217;s a game changer. Quality glasses, cool frames, top notch customer service and you can try them on in store. Wanna a take a look at a few favourites?</p>
