Properly fitted glasses with the right prescription can go a long way to ensuring educational success. Besides the learning aspect, fresh, stylish frames make a statement and allow you to impart your personal style wherever you go. Clear vision never goes out of style, but here are the big trends in eyewear fashion for the fall.

Retro is Still In

No longer contained to thick and boxy frames, retro styles are available in a galaxy of shapes and colours that harken back to years gone by but with a modern spin. The frames are bold, but are easy to dress up or down, making them a versatile choice.

Colours for All

Every other colour is the new black. While dark colours and tortoise shell designs remain ubiquitous, reds, blues, and even fun prints are finding their way into today’s designs. In addition to colours, classic gunmetal and brushed chrome recalling aviator styles are becoming popular, particularly with men. These frames are often constructed of a thin metal, making them strong and lightweight.

Clear Lenses, Clear Frames

Translucent frames have been gaining steam for a few seasons, and now come in a wide range of hues and styles. Clear or see-through elements have also made their way to large cat-eye inspired frames. A little more Tomorrowland than Mad Men, creative designers are blending futuristic and retro elements to create something completely new and original.
