So, you’re in the market for a new pair of eyeglasses but you’re not really sure what’s in right now? With fashion trends changing so rapidly and varying so greatly from one extreme to another, it can seem impossible to really figure out what’s in style without a bit of guidance, especially for an accessory that’s as subtle as eyeglasses.
Lime Green and Yellow Sides
Eyeglasses that stand out are easily the most popular trend in eyewear right now, probably because it coincides with the bulk sneaker trend that has been set by Balenciaga and similar brands. In particular, highlighter yellow and lime green sides that contrast with black front frames seem to be really in right now. More specifically, the industry seems to be gravitating towards bold and bright frames from Nike eyeglasses.
Clear Frames
Believe it or not, people are going crazy for clear and transparent frames in 2019. They might look like something out of a dollar store costume, but the designer’s spin on this classic style is much more durable and functional than the toy versions. Likewise, white plastic frames are also taking up the same lane. In terms of size, bulky and large clear frames are at the center of this movement.
Millennial Pink
Last year and the year before, millennial pink really made a rise in the garments sector. This year, the color is having its way with eyewear designers as there seems to be a huge demand for this style. Frames that combine millennial pink with dusted or cloudy qualities are easily the most popular variations this season. In terms of frame shape, cat-eyed and squared frames are doing the best with this color.
Tortoiseshell with Interesting Patterns
Conventional tortoiseshell eyeglasses are making a comeback, but people really seem to be moving towards the interesting and exotic patterns that manufacturers have been releasing over the past few months. Brands like Thelma, Keen, and Vint & York are having great success with their cat-eye and lavender tortoiseshell patterns.
Leopard Print
While animal prints in general went out of style for a few years, they’re making a comeback stronger than ever, as is apparent in the recent leopard print eyeglasses trend of 2019. However, instead of going all leopard print with the clothing and the glasses, most people are just throwing these shades into random outfits with some pretty interesting and bold results.
Get a Few Pairs to Be Safe
If you’re having trouble deciding on one of the above trending styles, it might be best to just grab a few of your favorites. That way, you won’t be pressured into making a single decision and you’ll have multiple options to choose from when putting together outfits that actually make sense. On the other hand, you might be looking for an aesthetic that makes absolutely no sense at all, which actually appears to be the latest craze. Either way, having more than one pair of eyeglasses is always advisable.
