Today’s eyewear fashion matches the overlying trend in clothing – the only rules that apply are the ones you set for yourself.  Your individual style always comes down to the details, and the same is true in finding the perfect eyewear.  Each detail makes a frame unique and as special as the person wearing it.  Although size and shape should always be considered when choosing your eyewear – fit, comfort and the feeling you get when you put the on are equally as important.  Your frames should always enhance your personal style.    

Here are some fall / winter details to be on the look out for. 


Geometric Touches

Eyewear has always been available in classic shapes of round, square and rectangle.  This season the hexagon and octagon are the stars.  A combination of shapes is also a great update to classic styles – rounds with flat tops, squares with geometric notches, cylindrical temples, etc.

Nostalgic Details

The fashion influence of the 80’s plays a big role in the return of metal frames.  Acetate wrapped metal frame fronts and oversized rounded shapes have been redesigned in updated colors.  Intricate coining and jewelry mounts are also making a return.  The great news – styles are being created in lightweight materials!

Saturated Colors

The translucent colors of the last few seasons are making a turn to brighter shades.  Opaque saturated colors in acetates and metal finishes make for very rich deep tones that look amazing in every eyewear design.

Textures

Adding textures and sculpting to a frame adds uniqueness and elevates classic shapes. Many of these details emphasize the skill required when hand-crafting eyewear. Intricate filigree, contract overlays and texturized metals are just a few details utilized this season.
