Leicester — A City That Wears Its Identity Proudly
Leicester is one of the UK's most vibrant, diverse, and culturally rich cities. From the historic lanes of the Old Town and the stunning King Richard III Visitor Centre to the energy of the Golden Mile, the colour of Diwali celebrations, and the open green spaces of Victoria Park, Leicester has a style that is bold, expressive, and entirely its own. Sunglasses in Leicester aren't just about the sun — they're part of how the city expresses itself.
At Missandtrendy®, every frame is built to full spectacle standard — meaning any optician in Leicester can reglaze them with your prescription lenses, combining style with perfect vision in one frame.
Built to Spectacle Standard — What That Means for Leicester Wearers
Every Missandtrendy® frame is constructed with the same structural integrity, hinge quality, and lens fitment tolerances as prescription eyewear. That means any Leicester optician can fit your prescription lenses directly into the frame — tinted, polarised, or clear. Full UV 400 protection, full style, your prescription built in.
Reglazing in Leicester — How It Works
Reglazing is the process of fitting new lenses into an existing frame. Missandtrendy® frames are compatible with the reglazing services at most high street and independent opticians across Leicester — city centre, Highcross, Oadby, and beyond.
- Bring your frame and prescription to your Leicester optician
- Choose your lens — single vision, varifocal, polarised, photochromic, or tinted
- Walk out with prescription sunglasses built around a frame you love
UV 400 — Why It Matters in Leicester
All Missandtrendy® sunglasses carry UV 400 certification — blocking 100% of UVA and UVB radiation. Leicester's central position in England means it experiences some of the highest summer UV levels of any UK city — with long sunny days, open skies, and no coastal breeze to moderate the intensity. UV 400 is the only standard that offers complete protection year-round.
