Remember those dreadful days when your friends rather acquaintances would tease you all the time with bizarre remarks like ‘Ssup four eyes’. Well, no longer do you have to hide behind your spectacles for the fear of being mocked at. Big rimmed glasses are making a huge comeback and setting a major trend in the fashion world. When stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Johnny Depp and Arjun Rampal can get the temperatures soaring by flaunting these beauties, then why not get a little adventurous and try them out for yourself?
Eyewear has undergone a major revolution since last year. Popularly known as geek glasses, thick black frames are a huge fad right now. Some of the glasses donned by our hot favourites have rims that have been stretched so that the lenses cover the entire face. The result: hot celebrities donning geek glasses -- every high school boy’s fantasy. There are several kinds of glasses you can opt for today. From simple elegant frames to quirky eccentric ones, you can now own one for every outfit. Why not head to Cunningham Road or Brigade Road and pick up a few frames for reasonable prices? You can then go to an optometrist and get good lenses fitted in.
Remember, though it is important to follow trends with latest eyewear fashion, it all depends on how you pull it off with great style. Eyeglasses are essential for a glamorous makeover whether you need corrective eyeglasses or don one just for adding the right style element to your looks. So, it is necessary to know the latest trends in the world of frames.
The arty-smarty look a.k.a the bigger, the better trend is celebrating a surge in popularity due to the current ‘geek chic’ trend among city hipsters making everything that was once nerdy or unpopular, fashionable again. In today’s accessorised pop culture, it seems that every fashion and art icon makes sure to hold a pair of those big geek classics. Take a look at Johnny Depp for example, who tends to mix them with tailored suites, exchanging the official geek look to one full off sex-appeal.
Also, eyeglasses with flowery temples are a huge rage amongst youngsters today. The delicate designs on the temple are one of the popular features in frames. To express your personality, you can try out funky metal dual coloured, flower patterns or even hollowed-out flowers on the temples that make eyeglasses chic and sexy.
On the other hand, in comparison with traditional frames, coloured frames are all about diversity. Aside from the frame designs, there are many stylish eyeglasses that have bright frames like pink, red, purple, green etc. Colours can truly reflect your personality. So, go ahead and pick up some coloured frame to show off your individuality.
Nothing can ever go wrong with vintage. Since vintage style trends to comebacks, a few designers today have added vintage elements to make the frames more attractive. Also, ‘Sara Palin’ look, a trend characterised by boxy frames with 90 degree angles with either rimless or full-rimmed cubic eyeglasses inspired by sharp edges squares and rectangles has made a huge comeback. This eyewear trend is not only undeniable chic but also ultra modern and projects a professional and intellectual air. Angular frames in black and silver with chunky side arms are fashion forward with a cutting-edge, futuristic feel. Cubic eyewear is at its sensational best when paired with suits or edgy outfits. If these looks aren’t your style, then pair them with a clean cut plain white look. This will really make the eyewear stand out.
From cut-outs in leather and suede shoes, to cut-out patterns in gold dangly earrings, these trends can been spotted all over the fashion world. Or, a pair of black glasses with sidearm cut-out details would look stunning on someone with blonde hair, as the light hair peeking through the cut-out would highlight the dark-coloured glasses.
If you’re a woman, wear these glasses with your hair up, as most cut-out details on glasses occur on the side arms. You don’t want your hair covering your glasses’ best feature.
