WHAT: There’s a “new” neutral out there this season and Style.Pages thinks it’s likely to become a standard. The color, which works with so many skin tones, is flattering, feminine and a breath of fresh air from heavier tones and bright colors. Interpreted in mixes of solid and translucent or clear, it is just as prevalent among metals as acetates or thin-gauge plastics. Blush is being featured in suns as well as optical frames, in traditional classic shapes or as a way to enliven fashion-forward pieces.
