SUNGLASSES INSPIRATION
Wednesday, February 10, 2016
2. Green Screens
Modern, fresh and very edgy, recent Spring 2016 collections like Bally reaffirmed the recurring trend in street style for sunglasses; bright green reflective lenses. Bright green-lensed sunglasses are the perfect accompaniment to crisp whites, blacks and work remarkably well with graphic prints. Duskier greens flatter darker features and brighter limes register well with blondes. For an injection of colour, look no further than the metallic glare of bright green shades, however be mindful of your other accessory colours when attempting the trend; keep things subtle and aligned.
3. Transparent Lenses
The recent transparent lenses trend is the modern take on a seventies-esque aesthetic. Particularly appealing in burnt peaches and filmy blues, this 2015 sunglasses trend can easily be incorporated in a range of casual looks, provided the hues of your clothing are within the same colour family a la Bottega Veneta Spring 2016. Be mindful of your skin tone and features when nominating a see-through hue for your shades and try on different pairs for a better indication for how it will register with your face shape and features, given they come in a range of shapes and styles.
4. Round Frames
Perhaps one of the most beloved street style staples, the 2015 round sunglasses trend is the modern answer to its twenties’ predecessors. Amazingly suited to formal wear and tailored blazers, round sunglasses are a nostalgic wink to older decades’ conceptions of its shape. Round sunglasses are best suited to those with oval, oblong or square shaped faces; however are problematic on a round face as they mimic its proportion. Keep things contemporary with the various modern colours these frames come in, like the fluorescent red featured in the recent Moschino Spring collection, however a classic black pair is the ultimate in versatility.
5. Wayfarers
Ah, the wayfarer: cool, classic, easy. An iconic favourite and beloved staple for effortlessly styled clothing, its squarish shape is evocative of its fifties heritage. Canali cemented its stay in 2015 with its playful combination with grey tailoring. The wayfarer works well with most face shapes, and in particular can create a more elongated, angular definition for those with roundish faces. You can never go wrong with a quintessential black pair, however more modern, graphic pairs featured in Ray Ban provide a contemporary alternative.
6. Tortoise Shell
Whilst tortoise shell sunglasses have been featured in the recent Burberry and Fendi collections, its humble beginnings as a traditional favourite are evidence of its classic undertones. As usual, be mindful of your face shape when choosing the right frame for you and always consider the colouring of your clothing when styling the classic favourite. Incredibly friendly with navies, neutrals and whites, the brownish hue of the beloved tortoise sunglasses works best with traditional silhouettes. Maintain a contemporary edge with the newer rounder shapes of this trend.
