When it comes to fashion and the latest trends, the first
things we usually think of are clothes and shoes. There is a lot more to
maintaining a fashionable wardrobe, however, than just clothes and shoes. When
putting together your outfits for this year, don’t forget about adding some of
the hottest accessories; particularly when it comes to eyewear.
There are a few different looks this year that are coining
some pretty interesting names. The first look on our list is the “Instagram look.” These glasses are
characterized by the late social media craze, combined with a bit of 1970s
appeal. This look is all about the lens-tinting. Rosy or gold-tinted lenses are
growing in popularity, along with glasses that have a sepia-tone gradient.
Confused as to which sunglasses might fit this look? Just think of the different filters that avid Instagrammers
slap onto their pictures. If the tinting of the lenses draws any similarities
to these filters, chances are you will be sporting the Instagram look. Sun wear
and optical specs that reminisce of yesteryear with bubbly shapes, wooden
frames or tortoise print will also fit perfectly with this style.
This next look pairs angular cuts, geometric shapes and
neutral colors to the…can you guess? It is the “Mathematical look.” Mathematical look glasses
have sleek, yet shapely designs. Designers such as Marni and Chloe have
emphasized triangular or hexagonal shapes in this year’s lenses, while others
such as Emporio Armani and Optic Nerve have chosen to concentrate on overstated
brow bars. Additionally, the brand names of XOXO and Roberto Cavalli have also
included black and white patterns and prints on their glasses to incorporate
the mathematical feel.
The next look that is on the list is perfect for the spring
and summer months. Aptly named, the “Aquatic look” (which goes perfectly with
the orange lip that is showing up all over the runway) features bright blues,
teals and turquoises. The Aquatic look even dips into eyeglasses, as companies such
as Prodesign and Scott Harris are showcasing the “floating lens effect” in
their minimalist blue-tinted specs. This look can be worn in many different
ways – whether you are planning a day on the boat, a trip to the vineyards, or
accenting your tux at a wedding.
The final look you need know about for 2014 is the “Garden look.” Probably the most fun and
recognizable, the Garden look is characterized by earthy green colors and
vibrant pinks that evoke spring growth, complemented by floral prints and
whimsical butterfly-shaped silhouettes. Pulling off the Garden look isn’t so
much about the shape of the rim – but the design. Whether they are aviators,
wayfarers or cat eyes, make sure your lenses have a touch of bright color, a
floral pattern, or even sparkles and studs. If your glasses make you think of spring
growth, a garden party, or even just blooming flowers – you’ve done it!
