Summer is all about keeping things light and easy! One way I do that is by using ThinOptics reading glasses. Their stylish, compact design not only saves valuable space in your summer crossbody’s, clutches, and carry-on bags but they also all but guarantee you’ll have your needed readers close at hand at all times!

Why I Choose ThinOptics Reading Glasses
As you might recall from this post, I’ve been enjoying ThinOptics for a few years now. They have a number of styles that meet different needs but all are compact, easy to transport, and stylish. Personally, I use different models for different things:
- the bridge-style readers are great to tuck into handbags for out and about emergencies (reading a menu, filling out a form at the doctor’s office, etc.) and;
- the full-frame styles for more extended reading sessions, like at work or when traveling.
Did you Know? While well known for their reading glasses, ThinOptics also offers blue light blockers and sunglasses!
Most models can be attached to a solid surface (your phone, a laptop, etc.) and all can be carried free-style. Just drop into your bag and the durable cases will keep them well-protected. The wallet version is a great option for men. It has an attached money clip for your credit card, ID, and a few bills and slips easily into a shirt or trouser pocket.

In the photo above, I’m wearing the Connect style. I love how easy the case is to access and they’re so lightweight, my ears never get sore as they used to when I wore lesser brands. We also have the bridge readers with universal pod (small and handy for emergencies) and the Brooklyn full-frame glasses with Milano case (great for travel and the lenses are fully protected within the flip-top case).
If you’d like to stock up, as we do, ThinOptics offers a variety of multi-packs at a discount. It gives great peace of mind to know that I’ve got a pair stashed in each of my handbags and travel carry-on.

Travel light and enjoy the journey!
Until next time…keep cultivating a simple, stylish, and satisfying life!
