    Fall 2014 Eyewear Trends

    Top Reading Glasses and Sunglasses for Fall

    Staying on top of the latest trends is one of the most enjoyable parts of transitioning from summer to fall. Your new look doesn’t have to be limited to apparel; your eyewear plays an important role in your autumn accessorizing, too.

    When searching for designer eyeglass frames and sunglasses this fall, keep the season’s hottest trends in mind:

    • Throwback Renaissance. Those seeking a fashionably classic look will love these fresh new frames, which combine old-school sensibilities with new-school style. From round shapes to aviators to Clubmaster-esque frames, these style staples collide with earthy colors such as red, orange, and brown for the perfect fall look. Our Margot Bifocal Sunglasses were featured in eyecessorize’s Fall Trend Report for this look!
      • Modern Prep. These ultra-flattering frames range from simple squares to pronounced cat eyes, accentuating the wearer’s features. Colors range from simple pastels to vibrant watercolors, calling to mind the preppy looks of the 60s but remaining firmly in the now. Our Darby Reading Glasses fit this look perfectly!
      • Enigmatic Perspective. When clouds fill the sky and the leaves fall from the trees, it lends a mysterious atmosphere. These frames have the same effect, combining dark, muted colors with touches of opulence, such as I Heart Eyewear’s reading glasses with bling. Animal prints, lace and other artistic patterns are also on-point for the enigmatic perspective look! Our Dahlia Readers (below) and Catarina Reading Glasses are spot-on with this trend.

          How to Make a Fashion Statement with Reading Glasses

          Reading Glasses are the New "IT" Accessory

          great-looking-reading-glasses

          Thirty plus years ago, reading glasses were often stigmatized as “anti-fashion.” But Nerd Chic, Geek Chic and Hipster Chic have all changed the playing field, and readers and non-readers alike are using glasses as fashion accessories to stand out.

          In fact, some mavens have gone as far as to describe reader glasses as “the new shoes” – meaning that they're not just utilitarian items but rather true accessories.

          One Bay Area entrepreneur, Patty Lee Hoffman, said that reading glasses used to be considered “like the Crocs of glasses” – i.e. low in sex appeal and purely functional. But that’s all changed.

          At some level, this is exciting news, because you can now use glasses to outfit and augment your general “fashion personality.” On the other hand, it could be somewhat stressful news, because now you might feel pressure to have “cool enough” reading glasses to keep up with the Joneses at your book club.
