Eyewear is just like any fashion industry. Even though your glasses are an integral part of your medial well-being, they are still a fashion statement that you wear every day. Just like any other fashion industry, there are fashion trends for each year. Here are our top 5 eyewear trends of 2018!
Thin Acetate
Thin is in! While big statement pieces are on their way out the door for this year, more and more people are looking for thin, sleek frames that are light and stylish. This style is perfect for everyday wear to work, class, or anything you have planned for the day. Men tend to stick to thin frames with muted colors, while women have shown to go towards lighter hues and light crystal clear frames. TC Fit Frames that fit this style: Frankfurt, Boston, Istanbul.
Round Lenses
Dark rimmed glasses were very popular in 2017, and continue to be the look d’jour. However, more and more consumers are going back to the retro round lens that was popular in the 80’s and 90’s. Frames donning this style have been popular for a while now, but coupled with thin acetate, round lenses are making another pass this year as a must-have trend. TC Fit Frames that fit this style: Korea, Brazil.
Retro
Retro styling is maintaining its top-seller position as both men and women are drawn to the timeless look. Other style trends that dominated the 70’s and 80’s are coming back as well, with styles adapting to the retro fashion sensation. Trends that are currently prominent in eyewear fashion are those that are coupled with light metal and acetate as well as aviators and cat eye frames. TC Fit Frames that fit this style: Colombia, Fiji, Korea.
Crystal Clear
While some consumers still like their sunglasses with dark, thick acetate, some are being drawn to crystal clear frames with light, subtle pops of color. While this fits into the retro trend, it is worth noting that these colors are making a big impact in 2018. Fashionable lines are starting to make clear frames in almost any size and shape, with light pink, blue and green hues being the most prevalent. TC Fit Frames that fit this style: Boston, Osaka, Korea.
Blue Light Blockers
While people are spending more and more time on computers, both for business and recreation, the sales of blue light blocking lenses are sky-rocketing. Companies like Pixel and Felix Gray that specialize in only blue light blocking frames are very much in demand. It’s well known that looking at screens all day can start to cause eye strain and headaches from harmful blue light rays, so it’s no question why people are searching for blue light blocking lenses left and right.
