Spring/ Summer 2015 Eyewear Trends – Round Glasses

Source: Spring/ Summer 2015 Eyewear Trends – Fashionisers

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!

 

Trend: Half-Rim Frames

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.

From Burberry’s we see a completely different look…more sixties type smaller more oval shape in white no less. But still reminiscing about the fashions of old, with just the slightest of that Burberry twist.

On Forbes there is a nice collection of trends one of which from Prada has now been coined as the mathematical-look; which is basically a uni-brow look, but a bit cooler than just a straight line.  Then there is the “aquatic look”, which is softer and a shade or shades of blue giving it a nautical feel. The “garden look” has a printed frame in colors pink, white and some orange..colors more like flowers.

Cavalli on the other hand shows updated versions of cat-eye sunglasses that are very cool.

Though looking around on the streets we see more of the same from celebs and fashionistas retro looks seem to still be on the plate.  Plenty of looks from the 60’s and 70’s…retro wayfarer shapes, aviator shapes as well as the big, big eyeglasses…and big sunglasses as in the days of Jackie O.

“The Supreme Court says if you go out in public you have no expectation of privacy and can be photographed, videoed, etc. without any recourse.”

But what ever happened to common curtsy? These are the things we must now consider when wearing our newest computerized accessory Google “Glass”.

The finer points of common curtsy and the obvious behaviors we expect from each other should not be thrown out the door. Google does help remind us of these points.

 “Standing alone in the corner of a room staring at people while recording them through Glass is not going to win you any friends,” the company wrote. “Ask permission before taking photos or videos of others.”

Are you a Google “Glasshole”? Is the new way to parle.
