Eye-wear in general seems to be making a comeback in the fashion world and thus there are plenty of eyeglass trends.
Today, eyeglasses are embraced and viewed as more of an accessory than a necessity! So be it stylish frames for your everyday prescription eye-wear, or favorite pair of sunglasses, namma Chennaiites love to flaunt the latest styles.
Bold colours
People are not afraid of bold as bold gets all the attention. Karthik is wearing green eyeglasses and we can see the effect it has on others. The in-your-face attitude that the glasses scream makes it impossible for you to ignore it. Love it, hate it, it's there and it will stay.
Tip: Try to find a shade that matches the majority of clothes you wear. Even better, if you usually dress in neutral colours, any coloured frames will match great and add something extra to your outfit!
Geeky glasses
Blame all the movies and tele shows for making geeky 'in'. The large, solid black frames aren't just for hipsters anymore and make one look even more adorable than normal! See Saurav, for example. This style is our personal favourite!
Tip: Big frames don't suit everyone so try to find a shape and size that complements your face size and structure.
Keyhole detailing
This is one trend that is being followed by the likes of Ryan Gosling and Alexa Chung. Glasses that have bridges cut like keyholes are a popular trend among stylish detailing for 2013. Mei Ling has taken it a step further by adding a dash of glitter and it has transformed her look. It's a great way of adding some retro styling while still keeping the modern design. We never knew eyewear on a dress could be so glamorous!
Tip: Not everyone can carry off glitter, so if you want to keep the glam quotient low, then go for simple keyhole detailing. The glasses come in a multitude of colours.
Multicolour glasses
Multicolour patterns have been a huge trend for the past few months and eyewear is no exception. It's a perfect way to make a statement. Have an official meeting that you want to spice up? Wear a multicoloured eyeglass like Joe. It's a perfect way to add a bit of fun and pop.,/p>
Tip: Don't go overboard with the colours, lest you want to look like a rainbow. Stick to two colours.
