Top 5 Glasses Trends for Spring

The best time to pick out new statement pieces to add to your collection/wardrobe is at the beginning of a new season – Spring. With Spring right around the corner, picking new glasses to add to your collection can become overwhelming, but I have put together the top 5 glasses trends for Spring to make your decisions a little easier and no, florals are not included!:

Clear Frames

Bringing a clear frame into your collection can be daunting to think about. However, a clear frame is a very versatile piece, adding the perfect touch of elegance. This timeless piece brings a simple touch to any outfit. Not to mention the versatility it can bring. The great thing about clear frames or what the industry calls, lucite frames, is that it goes with every color, pattern, and or ensemble. There is no clashing when it comes to Lucite.

Soft Pastels/Nudes

Spring is the perfect opportunity to start bringing a little more hue into your collection. Starting off with a soft pastel/nude pallet for the season can add just the right amount of playful color you are looking for without being too overwhelming. Finish off your spring time look with the perfect pair of glasses and if it is still cold outside and you’re unable to wear spring time dresses or shorts, that is ok, because your spring time glasses have got you covered.

Over-sized Metal

The over-sized metal frames look is a no brainer. No matter the shape or color, thin-framed glasses give any look a subtle, yet chic, minimalistic touch. Not to mention it can hide those tired eyes from a long night of Netflix and wine or saying up till the wee hours with friends. Be careful when choosing an over-sized frame, you don’t want the frame to be wearing you. Make sure to choose a frame that does not go past the highest point on your cheek bones.

Cat-Eye

Look what the cat dragged in! Haha! A cat-eye gives a fun, flirtatious and girly approach to your wardrobe! This pointed edge can turn any casual outfit a glam one instantly. Also, a cat- eye will look great on most face shapes and bring a youthful appearance because of it’s drawing upwards effect. This spring has many different styles of cat- eye to offer, those that are large and in charge and also re- introducing the 90’s smaller fit.

Trend Alert: the 90’s are back. Le Spec knows how to turn heads in these cat- eye frames.

Colored Mirror Lenses

Spring is the perfect time to bring out the statement sunglasses. Colored, and mirrored lensed glasses give a statement to any outfit without being overpowering especially when worn with a neutral color palate. Sticking to a fun, rose gold lens complements a wide range of skin tones making anyone shine even brighter! Hold off on the bright oranges and blues for the Summer season and concentrate on pink, gold, and purple hues for this Spring.
