Warm-weather Sunglasses

Filed Under Designer Sunglasses, Fun with Eyewear 

As the winter weather abates, it’s time to think about warm weather fashion, like Prada and Gucci and Versace, oh my! This season, colors are in high fashion. The 2009-2010 New York Fashion Week demonstrated last month the importance of color, texture and scale in upcoming fashion. This season, less it not more, less it definitely less fashionable.

Brighter colors – If New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week showed us anything, it was that color will be one of the primary trends of the coming season. Plaster yourself in white clothing with bright accessories to get the 2010 look. Use your body as a backdrop in white to highlight bright jewelry and sunglasses.

Texture – Ruffles, flares, high-hats and big hair were all features at this year’s design shows, which will likely transfer over into the ready-to-wear fashion industry. As applies to eyewear think of designers like Gucci and Alexander McQueen, whose sunglasses have added flare, designs and even add-ons. Texture in eyewear is becoming more common, especially among Hollywood and music elite.

Scale – More is more in 2010 fashion. The bigger your sunglasses, the more in fashion you are this coming season. Jackie O sunglasses are popular with younger woman while Ray Ban Wayfarers look stunning and large on older ladies.

So, this season, when buying designer eyewear, remember to think of color, texture and scale, and pick a design that works for you but fits within the confines of modern fashion. Some great designers to fit these criteria are MiuMiu, by Prada for women, or Police Sunglasses, for men.
