WHO: For the minimalists with style, the detail-oriented and the understatedly bold.

WHAT: Colored metal frames are a fresh, fun and almost futuristic trend, adding some unexpected flair to a classic frame material.

WEAR: (Top to Bottom) From L’Amy America’s Nicole Miller, the Cabo frame combines an on-trend, upswept shape with an earthy green-toned metal for a fresh, fashion-forward take on a classic frame. From Morel’s Lightec Collection, Omicron 33 takes a classic shape in barely-there metal and reimagines it in a variety of bold colors, adding excitement, creativity and a sense of the unexpected. From Kenmark Eyewear’s Jhane Barnes, style Synodic is a brushed aluminum and stainless steel style in an unexpectedly bold orange tone with a generous round shape, showing just how versatile and trend-forward metals can be. Finally, from Silhouette’s Rimless Shades collection, Fischer Island is a unique sun style with eye-catching cutouts and bold, colored metal temples to create a futuristic, exciting shape that demands a second look.

WHY: Metal is a classic frame material, but adding an unexpected shock of color brings design to the next level and allows for creativity and exploration in new, trend-forward ways. Adding color makes metal work for everyone—from the office to the runway.
