We spoke to Sam to discover more about her time on The Apprentice and asked her to reveal what she loves most about shopping with Glasses Direct.

What did you most enjoy about The Apprentice? Is there any moment that stands out to you so far?

I enjoyed taking on new challenges that I’ve never done before, like creating cheesecakes and haggling for oysters in Jersey. I’ve experienced things I would never have done in my life, like jumping into an ice cold gorge in the Highlands!

How do you align your choice of glasses with your wardrobe? Which shapes and styles do you normally go for? Big and bold? Or refined and simple?

I base my frame choice on colour of outfits. If I’m wearing bolder colours or patterns, I’ll go for a more subtle, thinner frame so it’s not too much of a clash. Or, I’ll go for a frame of a similar colour, like my London Retro, Epping glasses which have an orange hue to them. If I’m wearing more neutral tones, I’ll wear a bolder frame to stand out more. So, for a more casual or day-to-day outfit, I’ll go for a classic frame. With a smarter or occasion outfit, I’ll go for a bolder on-trend frame.

How do you choose glasses to complement your professional attire?

I like to push the traditional outlook of having to have smart frames with professional attire. I think you can put on a suit and dress it with your frames as a way to express your own style.

As a busy parent, do you find being able to order glasses online convenient? Also, does our free Home Trial benefit you in a similar way?

Absolutely, I don’t have time to go into a store as a busy mum. Or, I don’t always want to bring my little ones in store with me as they’ll end up bored, no doubt! So I like to sit at home and take my time when it suits me to go through options. The Home Trial is a massive benefit and I can simply send them back if they don’t suit!

Out of all the frames you’re wearing in your pictures, what frames do you love to wear the most?

I absolutely love the frames I wore in The Apprentice boardroom, my London Retro, Epping and just love the slightly bigger size of them, the shape but mostly, the unique colour. I feel like they allow me to showcase my own sense of style and stand out without being too much.
