Sunglasses offer the coolest way to make a chic statement. Everyone from singers to actors knows that. While the celebrities have an expert and dedicated team of stylists and image consultants to help them sort out the most suitable eyewear trends every season, the ordinary fashionista is in a dilemma of choice. If you find yourself nodding in agreement just read on and find the answers to your queries, as we have the key trends for the coming season revealed in this article.
A word of advice before you blindly start following the seasonal trends – no matter what those are, if a style doesn’t fit your face cut, dont wear it. You would look much cooler in an outdated pair of shades that complements your facial features than a fashion fad that singles you out as a weirdo. Read through the rest of the article to find out the hot trends for this year:
Frames:
The variety of frames in the market today is just overwhelming. Widely popular shapes are round, rectangular, wayfarer, and the aviator made out of titanium, rubber, stainless steel, plastic, acetate, monel and propionate. While these have been around since forever, a new shape making tremendous headway this season is the classic teardrop. It works best in oversized plastic frames with bright colors or even prints. For people who use numbered lenses, rimless and semi-rimmed frames are popular along with the wayfarer shape.
Lenses:
The choice of lens is very important when picking your eyewear style as they help protect the eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays as well as dust, smoke, bugs, etc. Two important trends this season in lenses are mirror and gradient lens. Gradient lens have a darker film at the top and softly varies to a lighter shade at the bottom of the lens. Its main use is visibility while driving or flying a plane as they allow the driver a clear vision of the switch board which is below the line of sight and is usually hidden in a shadow while protecting from the glare out of the windscreen. They also are good for indoor use for people with high sensitivity to suns harmful rays. Available in multiple colors and even a choice of gradient between two colors, they are fast catching up as a cool nightclub accessory as well.
Mirrored lenses on the other hand are huge on fashion quotient and are also known as ‘cop shades because of their popularity within the US police force. They are good alternative to polarized lenses, with the partial metal coating on top of the tinted glass and are ideal for skiing and snowboarding.
Color:
Metallic and matt black remain the most widely sold colors. However many people opt for less saturated shades moving towards white, yellow, pink, green, orange, green, and blue. Refrain from browns or violets this season as they are no more in fashion.
