au0113.JPGFashion has come a long way since frilly Dior frames and plain Ray Ban Wayfarers. From lace, frills and bows to leather, texture and straps. No matter what the style and shape, color is the one thing that can really identify an item as out-of-date or fashionable. Based on an analysis of the color trends of 2009, here is an assessment of the expected fashion color trends of 2010.

Black – some say that black is always in style, and that may be true, but his year black is back in a whole new way. We’re dealing with a recent fascination with vampires caused by the Twilight series that has no signs of abating, and the fashion industry is capitalizing on the popularity of these blood sucking beauties with darker designs in a more daring and revealing way. In the eyewear fashion world this is nothing new, black sunglasses have always been popular. What is interesting, however, is the surge in black glasses for indoor and office use, especially in older throwback frames like cat-eyes and horn-rimmed designs.

Red – As with black, red is a bold and lively color that signifies love, daring, passion and pain. Red will be in style in 2010 in cohorts with black, and you can expect a sort of resurgence of 1960’s style women’s dresses in bold colors like black and red and with sexy new additions, like boot-heels and flared hair. In the eyewear fashion world red has rarely played a strong place, and this year is hardly going to be an exception. What we can look forward to is bolder, brighter and redder artistic details on eyewear temple bars and interior coloring. These punches of color are sure to be a staple part of the 2010 fashion diet.
