Trends So Far for 2018

It’s hard to believe that 2018 is coming to a close already – so let’s recap what some of the trends and styles have been for the year so far!

2018 has been a year of reinventing the classic frames from the past.

We’ve seen a revival of both the aviators and cat eye style of frames, done with a modern twist to keep them looking sleek and stylish.

If you’re looking for something distinctive – tortoise shell patterns have made their way back into fashion. Paired with a horn-rimmed style frame, like the Dita Statesmen, and you’re sure to be looking great.

Another classic – you can still never go wrong with bold, black rimmed frames. Squared or round, and often oversized, these frames are sure to make a statement.

If you’re not a fan of large or over-the-top styles, you’re in luck because also making a resurgence are thin, wire frames. These styles are usually thin and lightweight which means not only will you be stylish, but comfortable wearing these frames all day. Try a pair, like the Linda Farrow LFL 520.
