Try-On Tool Dress Up

Pearle Vision Try On Tool

As a child, like most young girls, I enjoyed playing dress up—perhaps for me it was a little bit of foreshadowing to my future fashion design studies all the way up to my present post as Director of Frame Buying at Pearle Vision. As a working adult, does the child-like dress-up desire still flow through my veins? I’ll answer that with another generality: like most grown-up women (whether secretly or on display), I still enjoy playing dress up. But since I was a little girl, a lot has changed—namely technology, and now the possibilities for playing dress up have entered a new dimension. The treasure trunk of outdated dresses and mom’s oversized heels has been replaced with an entirely digital version of the dress-up trunk—at least when it comes to trying on many of Pearle Vision’s amazing frame styles. I’m talking about our super-convenient (and super-addicting) virtual dress up experience, the Try On Tool!

Pearle’s Try On Tool makes experimenting with your spec styles an immediately accessible reality online. It’s simple: upload a photo of yourself (or take one on your webcam), select different frames you want to see how you look wearing, and save photos of yourself in styles you love. Browsing styles is a cinch, and my favorite part? You can play dress up with frame styles you might ordinarily not go for, and in the privacy of your own home (or office)! It’s your chance to be bold, and more than likely, you’ll be surprised at a frame that flatters you that you may not have expected!

So in the spirit of our inner five-year-olds who still ooh and aah for pretty products, I used the Try On Tool to play dress up with some of the Pearle styles I’ve been dying to try on. Here are a few of the styles I played with—try some on for yourself now! You can even share and vote on favorite styles in our User Gallery. Which of the frames I tried do you like best?

 

Burberry BE2073

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
At first glance, I would have thought purple frames would have been really bold, but the translucent frames seem to keep the color from being too overwhelming against my skin! They’re actually much tamer than expected.

D&G DD1168

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Ok, these are crazy and fun! I may not have normally grabbed for this lime pair in the store, but thanks to the Try On Tool, I could give them a chance. I feel like I look quirky yet corporate. Business in the front, party on the side (the arms are lime green).

Essential Eyewear EN3670

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
These Essential Eyewear frames have had me curious as to whether or not I can pull them off. They have a happy, unique feel about them—would be great for girls with creative style mindsets this summer.

Coach Emma

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Ever since Coach eyewear landed at Pearle Vision, my frame wish list has grown exponentially. With summer around the corner, naturally I am in the market for some sunglasses—I like the oversize shape, and the tortoise makes them feel luxurious.

Coach Cecilia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Another Coach style I’ve had my eyes on, I now can visualize my eyes IN. The blue Cecilia frames seem on the rack, like maybe too much color, but I surprised myself with how much I like the blue with my brown hair!

Ray-Ban RX5254

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Try On Tool is so handy for trying out frames you may feel wary of, and many feel reluctant to try the geek-chic look. Try out the boldest black rimmed frames like Ray-Ban’s RX5254 to dispel any doubt or fear, then try out different variations in frame thickness!

    I would just like to let pearl vision know that because of your recent ad “dirty librarian” I will never shop at your store, and I will be encouraging my Facebook friends to follow suit. You would think a woman would be able to buy a pair of eyeglasses without it bring turned into something dirty. Hard to believe women might need glasses for the same old reason men do–to see! Shame on you for objectifying women to sell your product. My beautiful, intelligent, vibrant daughter was just told she needs glasses. You can guarantee I won’t be bringing her into your store.

  2. Ryan Greske says:

    I agree with your comment! The emphasis of glasses should be on better vision. However if woman want to look sexy or appealing to men by wearing glasses from a semi risky ad about, then that makes sense. If you were in your 20′s or 30′s or even 40′s, and single, you might think differently about your comment.

  3. Juju says:

    Yeah I agree … I’m sick of seeing the naughty librarian … are they selling SEX or glasses to help better people’s vision?

    The naughty librarian ad shows that even though you have to wear eyeglasses you can still be SEXY. I walked into a pear vision thanks to that ad and with the help of an optician I picked out two pairs of stylish frames. for the first time I actually ENJOY wearing eyeglasses. I only used to wear my eyeglasses while driving or watching tv/using the computer because I hated how nerdy and awkward I looked in em but after that ad came along I realized i can be a sexy librarian too! Ive gotten so many compliments from my friends and family when i am wearing my new frames. thank you pearl vision marketing team!!!!!

      And thank you paid shill for the industry/company. Sheesh, try and be a little more believable next time.

  5. Kevin says:

    Yes, it’s shocking that a company would try to generate increased sales using a proven tool, sex appeal. Because, you know, they are only in business to make people’s lives better…instead of making a profit.
