Play Time
Eyewear this spring is anything but mundane. Oversized and exaggerated frames come in fun and updated cat-eye, butterfly, goggle and shield styles. Thick plastics in bright colors create a futuristic vision, vivid prints take frames to the wild side, and contrasting clear and colored lenses and frames create a grand illusion. Other playful palettes include white plastics, colored translucents and material mixes.
Keep this playful look fun by wearing over the top frames with an edgy patterned tee and A-line shorts.
Diva Delight
From glitzy embellishments to blacked-out lenses, daring divas everywhere will be decked out in glamorous eyewear. Oversized and angular frames in blacks, blues and reds are a must, while high brows, lace, jeweled accents, wire and cutouts add the perfect detail. Matching frame and lenses in one color or choosing mirrored or tinted lenses say drama queen.
Pair diva-esque frames with a cropped, boxy jacket and Jodhpur pants or shorts with exposed zippers.
Natural Beauty
This season eyewear takes cues from all types of natural beauty. Small and round frames in blush and beige tones and enameled, clear or opalescent plastics with subtle lens tints like amber and rose exude a natural cosmetic tone. Earthy elements such as bamboo, wood, horn and leather are crafted in frames. The ever-classic tortoise also has updated versions this spring with blonde tints and spotted and flecked highlights.
Create a natural and romantic vibe by pairing eyewear with feminine dresses in floral prints or flowy chiffons.
