If you need optical glasses to see, they become an essential accessory, given you need to wear them every day.
With the scope of fashion trends and designer labels having an influence on what’s available, it’s easier than ever to pick a pair that compliments your outfit.
With statement-making style not always the order of the day, it’s becoming more popular to amass an eyewear wardrobe. It means you can switch things up when the occasion calls for it.
This season retro influences like the aviator style and tortoiseshell frames are common influences, along with oversized shapes or the other end of the spectrum – minimalist, wire librarian specs.
Here are four dominant trends to try on for size now:
Dad Specs
Top to bottom: Prada frames; Celine frames, Tom Ford frames
With a flat top, rounded base and colours only a dad from the 70s could love (until now) these oversized and aviator shapes are sought-after by fashion fans right now.
Subtle colour
Top to bottom: Oliver Peoples; Cutler and Gross; Prada
Bold frames get a shot of colour and offer new ways to accessorise your outfit. Pastels are still on offer but more daring blue, orange, green and purple really show your style credentials.
Transparent
See-through frames are another style seeing a lot of attention from all genders. From large angular shapes to nerd-chic styles, they prevent the details of your face from being hidden and flatter all skin tones.
Gold Metal
Top to bottom: Miu Miu; Ray-Ban, Oliver Peoples x KHAITE
Slim and light, metal styles are updated with flat, top-bar frames and frameless styles as well as aviator-style shapes. The more minimalist the better! Gold offers the perfect quiet luxury twist to any tailored outfit.
