Get The Gareth Malone Glasses Look On A Budget
30 November 2011
This year has seen the rise and rise of BBC's Gareth Malone with Christmas TV appearances and a possible Christmas number one record likely to be the icing on the cake. Gareth has been on our screens for a few years now but 2011 has seen his real emergence in the UK public's consciousness. A glasses wearing choirmaster is an unlikely cult figure, but this is very much what Gareth is fast becoming. The personification of Geek Chic and the preppy look, Gareth has become the de facto thinking womans crumpet and the image to mirror for the cultured man.
So about the glasses; Gareth favors chunky, retro Rayban Wayfarer style glasses. His signature glasses are classic black wayfarers, but he's been seen sporting variations on this theme. SpecsPost are delighted to offer a range of Wayfarer style glasses to help you get the Gareth Malone glasses look. Starting at just £29 + P&P we believe this is the ultimate combination of style and price. This range of glasses has been a best seller for us this autumn and we hope this continues over the Christmas and New Year period.
Best of luck to Gareth and his Military wives choir. They are the bookies number 2 favorite to hit the coveted Christmas number one chart spot and with Chris Evans (another notable chunky specs wearer) championing the song on his prime Radio 2 breakfast show we think he has a real chance. High profile television appearances by the likes of Gareth and Chris also tend to boost sales of similar style glasses here at SpecsPost, so we might be buying a few copies of the single ourselves too as it will be good for charity and good for our business!!!!
UPDATE 05/12/11 : Following Gareths unexpected and very kind mention of SpecsPost on his facebook page on Monday 05/12/11 we have received a significant uplift in traffic to this page and the website in general. As a big thank you and to get into the spirt of things we are delighted to confirm that SpecsPost will donate £1 for every pair of glasses ordered during the month of December. As per the Christmas single, the money will go towards the Royal British Legion and Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Forces Help. We would love to have bundled in a copy of the single as suggested by quite a few people (as we are desperate to help Gareth and his military wives beat The X Factor to the Christmas number one spot) however as yet we have been unable to find a practical way to do this. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
If you have not already seen it on Gareths facebook page, here is a copy:

Hey SpecsPost love the glasses but I think you need to give something back after Gareth's plug.

These are really good looking glasses and this is a great cause - (I bought "The Italian Job" frame). Well done specspost.

Gareth Malone a sex symbol, glasses cool? Well actually yes! It's about time intelligence, tallent and integrity were recognised. High profile glasses wearers like Gareth help improve the image og glasses wearers nationwide. Go buy the single and help the cause.
