Throughout the history of fashion, eyewear has played an important part but at which point did eyewear become unfashionable and people started using nasty terms such as four eyes? I certainly got called that before which did made me feel slightly uneasy but not anymore of course and it helps that glasses are now becoming more like a fashion necessity.


So this Spring/Summer your glasses must be bigger, bolder and brighter. Optical wearers; do not fret because we too are in for a treat with fashion trends influencing the eyewear industry. Many exciting trends are catching on such as bright, floral, mono and stripes. The trends that one is most looking forward to wearing are bright (think bright colours!) and stripes in this gloomy economy.


Every designers is trying to go brighter and braver with their colour palette this season because with the recession, using bright colours may be the easiest way to inject a bit of fun back into life. If you think stripes have been done before, then think again because for spring / summer 2013 stripes have been mixed in with a bit fun and colour to create different patterns. With this trend, you can go as stripy as you like with the whole arm being covered or just the inside of the arm.


 
The super on trend is aviator sunglasses with reflective lenses. Round, oversized and black make a statement with quintessential glamour; one can also go for ultra flattering cat eye sunglasses. While classic wayfarers with a pop colour and faded design can freshen up the look.
