Retro-style round frames have set both the
corrective eyewear and sunglasses markets on fire this year, becoming a common
feature of designer collections across the world. Designers such as Acne, Jil
Sander and Holly Fulton have been creating round frames designs in a variety of
colors and sizes. Though very much on-trend, round frames are not the easiest
look to pull off, so ensure you select a model that flatters your face shape
and skin tone.
2. Unusual shapes
Though round and cat eye frames have been
very popular on the S/S 2013 runways, there has also been a move towards more
modern and innovative styles from designers like Fendi, Marni and Versace.
Their striking multi-sided, angular frames in bold, electric colors are very
unusual and will add an instant style accent to any outfit.

frame will certainly spice up any outfit this Spring/Summer.

Probably one of the boldest trends of 2013,
the protective eyewear movement has been led by designers such as Michael Kors
and Tracey Reese. These oversized, wraparound frames, often in a variety of
electric colors, give S/S outfits a casual yet sporty feel. For those feeling
brave, this is an excellent way of injecting a touch of excitement into your
S/S wardrobe.
From round and cat eye frames to multi-sided
and decorated frames, the hottest sunglasses trends for S/S 2013 are both
exciting and pioneering. With bolder and subtler trends available, choosing the
perfect pair of summer sunglasses to accent and glamourize your S/S wardrobe
should not be too difficult!
