Glasses are more in demand than ever and serve not only as a visual aid, but also as a stylish accessory when putting together an outfit. The glasses trends for 2017 are subtle. Narrow frames and large lenses put the eyes in the spotlight. Colors, materials and patterns are inspired by nature.
Lime, reed, emerald, avocado, or olive: Green represents harmony, security, and creativity. In 2017, it's the trendiest eyewear color. Careful attention is needed when choosing the shade: It should match your skin tone, otherwise, the wearer will look pale instead of vibrant.
Nude and brown tones also characterize the new fashion demand for originality and authenticity. Models in delicate shades from rose to cream to completely transparent frames make a face appear softer and emphasize an elegant appearance.
This color range is particularly flattering for light-skinned types. Brown is more expressive in its shades from Havana to espresso to ebony. The frames underline the self-confident appearance with glasses.
The highlights of 2017 are the so-called gradient colors, where the colors on the temples and frames blend harmoniously. However, the frame designers also uninhibitedly borrow from the animal world: designs of leopard, snake, zebra or turtle reflect the 2017 animal look on the frames and temples.
This year, a subtle mix of materials is showing off its potential: whether it's aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, plastic, natural materials such as leather, wood and paper or even a playful combination of these - the main thing this season is that the glasses stay tone-on-tone.
A matte surface finish lends a subtle charm to even extravagant models or bold colors. There are no limits to the range of shapes in 2017: they can be Wayfarer, Clubmaster, Oversize, Butterfly, Cateye, Nerd, Panto or Lennon glasses.
There is only one thing that is essential: the glasses should always be unobtrusive. So: narrow, clear and light. The current trend towards large lenses is particularly beneficial for progressive lens wearers. The larger the lens, the larger the corresponding field of vision.
