The new year is traditionally a time for new beginnings, trying new things
and trialling new looks. For those of us who wear spectacles, why should our eyewear be any different?
Here are Culver & Glass’s top trends and looks for 2019 for all age ranges.
DOUBLE BRIDGES
Double bridged aviator frames are appearing everywhere right now –
the double bridge provides an eye-catching silhouette while the classic aviator shape is flattering on almost any face shape! Check out this pair from William Morris Black Label.
EMBELLISHMENTS
Even if you opt for a solid, classic frame shape, who doesn’t love a little bit
of sparkle? Murano are known for their Swarovski crystal inserts and their subtle placement on this frame really lights the whole piece up!
ANIMAL PRINT
Animal print is setting up to make a big comeback this year and why stop at your clothing? Etnia Barcelona’s Wild Love In Africa range has all shades of the animal kingdom! We love this zebra print frame!
BRIGHT COLOUR
However tempting it is to go for muted, understated colours for your spectacles, picking the right bright tone for your colouring
can really set off your whole look! We love all the yellow & mustard tones in Chloe’s new range!
RIMLESS
Rimless is no longer just for those who don’t like their spectacles to be
seen! The LineArt range from Charmant makes a point of showcasing their fancy sides, designed from sheet music. Silhouette also do a great range with clip on accents for whenever you feel like a splash of colour!
SMALL RETRO FRAMES
Small, round frames are making a comeback – retro styling is forever big news, think John Lennon in the early 1970s! We love these Lindberg Strip Titanium frames for a lightweight and stylish pair of glasses!
NO GLASSES AT ALL…?
Have you ever considered trying contact lenses for a whole new look? With companies such as Johnson & Johnson creating soft lenses for all
vision types, including varifocal lenses, now could be the perfect time to give it a go!
MEN
Not forgetting the gentleman, of course, a strong solid frame
is a winner at any age. We love the Salt. Eyewear range, particularly
this frame, making any man look distinguished.
