FALL/ WINTER 2016-2017 EYEWEAR TRENDS

The fall 2016 accessories trends can never be complete without the addition of the gorgeous fall/ winter 2016-2017 eyewear trends, sunglasses really, or glasses as a whole, depending on what the latest styles are calling for.

We have often found that the ladies donning on these lovely additions to their ensembles look more composed and confident, cooler in the words of the colloquial speakers. It adds a dab of sophistication to a look, a touch of chic to the style you wish to portray. A woman in sunglasses becomes infinitely more attractive due to the eyewear, catching the gaze of all who pass by and perhaps quite a few whistles of appreciation.

While there are a lot of fun pieces, the fall 2016 sunglasses just don’t seem to have much place within the ensembles shown

#1: The Oversized Sunglasses

It appears that covering up half the face with your glasses is quite normal, so experiment with everything from double rimmed aviators as seen at Carven to Michael Kors, where the frames are marble, the lenses are black and the bug eyes are really taking over. Prada’s double wire rimmed glasses are also quite the retro classic with a totally artistic twist, taking up half the features on the face.

Gucci brings in the over sized with its clear as well as coloured frames, making the nerdy style look like a total blast. Yes, who does not want to pick up the Gucci over sized glasses anyway?

#2: The Funky Aviator Sunglasses

Aviators have been big on the runways for a while now. Also one of the fall/ winter 2016-2017 eyewear trends; they are a classic that just does not seem to want to go out of style. Opening Ceremony brings in the funky looks with the red coloured lenses and frames, making things all the more interesting with the fact that the clothing and the glasses are perfectly matching.

Gorgeous double-rimmed aviators with brown lenses appear with the fringed hair at Carven, while Chanel’s clear lenses looked absolutely chic with the rest of the totally Chanel styles on stage.

#3: The Bug Eyes

Bug eyes appear all over the place, kept in place with double wire rims at Giorgio Armani (where things are super buggy), while Kenzo’s bug eyes are pretty cool with the dual colours and darkest of dark lenses, the oversized frames really matching well with the clothing worn.

#4: Sunglasses with Clear Lenses

Many designers have paired the different glasses with fringes and that looks delightful. Perhaps some of the loveliest clear lenses appeared at Chanel with nary a frame showing and all the beauty of an oversized pair without the constraints of plastic and colours to the chrome wiring. The nerdy look is positively astounding on some lesser known designer lines as well, particularly Custo Barcelona and Hellessy

#5: The Butterfly Wing Sunglasses

One of the best fall/ winter 2016-2017 trends on the Fashion Week runways has been the butterfly wings that take on intriguing designs and just look plain awesome with the cat-like demeanours and overall larger span of the frames.

Things take on a distinctly dark look at Prada as well, adding to the loveliness of the style with a rather retro twist. And then, of course, there is the futuristic loveliness of Tory Burch, with the chrome metal framing the true butterfly effect on glasses that are not so oversized as some other seem to be.
