We’ve done some detailed homework on which eyeglasses shapes are hot right now. And across the world, these looks are doing well…source your perfect pair now…
1.Square + Oval = “Squoval” – An ‘Of-The-Moment’ Shape
A personal favorite this season, the eyeglasses that combine these two well-loved shapes – the square with the oval - look fresh and exciting as a new look to wear. On our travels to Paris shows and international eyewear events, we’ve seen a rise in these styles which are bold and sometimes thick or chunky. The shape is on cue right into Spring/Summer of next year.
One of the biggest names in made-in-Italy glasses, Persol’s 3292V is the ultimate shape combining square and oval with ease and elegance. The thickness of the rims is the trendiest way to wear this shape, while brown, black and tortoise tones add charm and sophistication for any discerning gent.
The fine oval-square shape of the Kalie eyeglasses by Kate Spade is topped off with a cat’s eye detail. It’s a style that is sharp and elegant with meticulous features that contribute to the overall look.
The Numero 60 has a modified shape that is more rounded than square, with an added curve in the bridge. Wire-rimmed styles of this type are usually lightweight and minimal, offering the ideal mix of style and comfort.
2. Square Framed Glasses – As Chic As They Come
Changing up your look has never been easier and a statement square frame is a fabulous way to do it! For men, we’d recommend these cool, substantial designs in acetate, which draw on vintage looks and explore colors that offer impact and an individualistic style. The thicker rims are contemporary, suave and sophisticated for any age.
Style America in Havana is iconic and bold, with definition and style in the lines and the bevels. A look that could be your ultimate signature, this frame will offer style and presence, wherever you go.
A square shape in luxurious acetate, Persol 3252V is a go-to retro shape with personality, and a timeless look. The classical features of the Persol brand, from signature arrow to Meflecto temples are an added bonus for those who appreciate the finer things.
Seattle Eyeworks propose a timeless look in their 970 with classy gradient colorations. For an easy-to-wear take on the square trend, this is your frame!
3. Cat’s Eyes with a Twist: Playful at Heart and a Tiny Bit Retro!
For those who want a feminine design, the choice of cat-eye shapes is broader than ever this season. Ideal for many face shapes including square, the curvy lines and quirky browlines of the cat-eye frames – in so many iterations - are features that can offer cool definition or a softening elegance which flatter the face.
Kate Spade offers the Maribeth cat’s eye inspired frame, a small trendy oval with gentle upswept effect which we love for the winter. With special details such as bamboo-inspired temples, the frame comes in two chic colors of mousse or tortoise.
An angular version of the cat-eye shape, the Swarovski 5221 is a fresh interesting design that will elegantly ‘frame’ the eyes. The style comes in a striking matt light ruthenium color or a traditional gold/Havana combo and Swarovski embellishments along the temple sides add extra class for lovers of luxury.
Swarovski 5290 has all the delicate qualities of the traditional cat’s eye. The shape is a little deeper than some more traditional varieties, offering a statement design. Look for the Swarovski stones embedded on the sides.
