Find out what your favorite celebrity looks like with round glasses. This trend has been around for awhile and is great for people who have an angular face shape…or when one wears their hair up in a high-ish bun.
If there is one thing you could do to lighten or punctuate your look and style is to add the perfect glasses to compliment your style. The more fun and radical your eyeglasses are the more you create a look that is creative and open.
Round glasses made there big debut in the 60’s…clearly it was a very big statement.
This look dates back to Twiggy in the 60’s who made this look very famous with her tiny face and huge round glasses.
Though in the 50’s and earlier people like Ghandi and others in the lime light wore round glasses it was more a matter of fact and not a matter of fashion.
Since then in the last few years this look has made a comeback in a pretty big way!
Johnny Depp on the men’s side and Kate Hudson on the women’s have made this look a very familiar style and shown us how to wear it in fun.

Johnny Depp wears his round glasses tinted in unusual colors like light blue to give it a tinge of fun and color. As prescription glasses they can be tinted or polarized to be made into sunglasses.
Just because fall is coming it doesn’t mean you have to stick to boring old clear specs, you can have fun with color, brighten up your day and protect your eyes from the glaring snow…or sun if you are in a place like LA!!
Jazz it all up and chase away the winter blues..have fun with your look with a little bit of effort. Without a doubt one of the biggest trends these past few seasons are glasses, and that’s not sunglasses but optics…actual prescription glasses…geek chic, baby!
There are several different version of round glasses…those made famous by RayBan are the round wire glasses as well as the more retro type that have a tear drop look to them.
Well here we go again..it’s time for fall! Sunglasses this year are pretty much a continuation of the last few years….lots of updated looks some “geek glasses” from Gucci. looks as well as big bold coloring as in Karen Walker. And though most of you might think of sunglasses are only for the summer, think again! Our eyes need the UV protection we typically get from sunglasses all year round and is we were prescription eyeglasses then we must take care to have photochromic or polarized sunglasses protection.
Lots of whimsical 60’s and 70’s feel comes in..cutouts, fringe, even gloves make a comeback on the runways for fashion and so the sunglasses and eyeglasses we see all reflect this time.

Some fun styles from Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton show us how easily we can update our eyeglasses with a little fun tint to keep the cold months fun and bright. The brow bars sunglasses are a great updated look from the browline glasses or even the plain wayfarers many a celebrity is seen sporting these on the streets. Along with fun bejeweled cateyes there are ones that are softer, and vintage inspired marbled cateye sunglasses.
Diva Sunglasses from Bvlgari
Then we have the mirrored sunglasses which are seen in all shapes. Especially the round and aviators are seen on the streets as well as on the runways.
While these are some of the styles seen on the runway…I always like to see what people are wearing on the streets in all the main cities around the world..

What Are The Trends For Glasses This Summer ?
Let’s weigh in with what the stars have been wearing around town!
The hottest trends in eyewear — whether you’re looking for daily glasses or prescription summer shades.
Bold & Bright
~ Bright colors in classic or retro styles like cat eyeglasses or over sized glam glasses or the old wayfarer is the way to go. Seen on the streets was Gwen Stefani looking “HOT” in bright blue plastic round glasses and Miranada Kerr with bright yellow glasses
While most of us tend to see the trends as a basic guide there are some amoung us that are brave and daring with their sense of style. The designers of our time constantly show us what is on the far, far side of fashion.
The strongest trend by far are the round glasses , updated or vintage inspired…but here’s more:
Trend : Fun & Out There
Designers like Moschino and Nicholas K give us funky out-of-this world looks that are colorful and at times very funny! Prada shows great wooden frames taking the current trend of using wood as a medium to yet another extreme.
Trend: Aviator’s
Yes this does continue with updated looks and style lines or with the classic look…sunglasses are either tinted or mirrored. This sporty yet polished look has now become a timeless and classic style that when seen through the special touch of each design house.
Trend: Cat Eye
Here is another classic that is fast becoming an essential must have! Though these seem geared toward the fashionista with a bit of style and punch, cateyes frames are a great addition to anyone with a looks of curves. The lines offer a nice contrast to the rounding effect and can give great balance to your look. This look is quite sexy whether you pick the more retro version with large designed motifs, the delicate chic-modern rimless tinted styles. or the more softer cateyes that enhance and invite!
What makes these very cool ( because these are just a type of frame that is always available) is the NEW trend that has updated this look…the rimless portion of the frame is usually at the bottom or as in the browline styles we see the rim going straight across and the rest of the lenses are rimless. Here the rim is curved cheekily down the side of the lenses and teasing to go around but doesn’t. I think these create a very seductive look and give the eye a very lovely type of enhancement. YAY let’s have some fun with our glasses people! Other designers are a bit more modernist looking (Miu Miu) here they leave the top portion of the frames as rimless and put the rim around the bottom of the lenses.
Trend: Round Glasses
Retro round glasses ala John Lennon or even the huge ones as we have seen with Twiggy in the 60’s continue to push forward…here is another trend that has seemed have caught on quite strongly and is fast becoming yet another staple.
Versace, Gucci, Pucci, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Jason Wu, Dries Van Noten and so many more show round glasses as the staple detail of their collection. So get your round glasses one!
These round sunglasses are the “summer’s must have” according to Style.com
Trend: Square , Flat Top or Geometric Frames
Well here we go…these are the quintessential retro frames, these scream out the 70’s. I don’t really feel that square glasses have really had their fair share of the stage so it’s time now wouldn’t you say. From Miu Miu and Prada to Georgio some designers do show a version of any of these there. They are fun and inspire such a sense of style and je ne sais quoi that they are a positive addition to your wardrobe. By next year I think this trend will catch on in a stronger way.
Well it’s that time of the year again, are you ready for the beauty, joy and happiness that 2015 is going to bring you?
Well you had better be, as it’s here in four days and we want to be sure you are on the mark with the coming trends for women. The trendy glasses that we have seen in the past have basically been retro and this coming year is not much different.
If the 70’s are new to you great enjoy the exploration of the yester years. For those of us that have been there I hope that
was one of the fun years for you so you can renew your hipness! The ’70’s continue to drive the looks for the coming year with just the slightest updates to the looks to match our current modern tastes.
The round glasses continue their mark as do the large sunglasses, mostly in geometric shapes (Square being the leading shape, but add aviator shapes too); then come the soft cat eye shapes (from the 60’s) rather than the sharp shapes we have been seeing.that give just the slightest tilt and contrast to your feature. The makeup gets softer too and a bit dreamier or saucy depending on which way you choose to go. Try some fun looks for a little spice in your everyday make-up routine
We see on the runways for Spring 2015 glasses with soft coloring, as well as animal prints with a lighter back ground color then what we would see in the fall. Tortoise coloring is great with the lighter shades.
Soft neutrals like the beige (eggshells), browns basically earth tones… and of course lets not for get the hottest colors for the coming year are shades of green (Aquamarine to olives) to shades of blue (Pantone says more blue others say more green) Bright prints ala Pucci keeping things hot, big prints colorful brushstrokes, abstracts, large flowers..all in the spirit of fun, openness and a carefree lifestyle. Anything romantic goes as with the makeup…laces, crochet all very bohemian in simple shapes that are nicely tailored. Understated elegance…hippie-chic….”ethnic” fashions are all in the realm of the 70’s retro look. Just let loose..baby!
Eyeglasses are now the “new nighttime accessory” according to style.com; so update you evening looks with crisp fashion glasses in all the right shapes and colors (and of course they don’t have to be prescription eyeglasses they can be clear).
Unlike us here in Los Angeles where we are still enjoying (sorry) 70+ degree weather, no doubt most around the country need to start layering up.
Well I wanted to be sure you are in the know here. Take a look and see the cool ideas for layering because as they say..
“nobody likes a bluish limbed girl…”
The challenge is always to look well put together, rather than a big ball of fabric waddling around. Keeping you attention to how your body feels under the clothes is important. If you feel stifeled chances are you will look like you are drowning; if you feel bound and can’t move freely, chances are this too will come through in your movement and you look.
s trend has been around for awhile and is great for people who have an angular face shape…or when one wears their hair up in a high-ish bun.
