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.

WHAT: This season’s optical eyewear choices for kids make the most of both inside and outside surfaces to achieve print and pattern treatments to amp up back-to-school fashions. New accessories often use transfer prints or appliques combined with contemporary shapes. The treatments often take the place of logos to communicate about a brand’s signature details and licensed characters’ symbols and insignias.

WHAT: Eyewear aficionados embrace dimensional acetates and colorations that look different from different angles. We’re liking the shimmery tones of “white tortoise” and embrace the unexpected vibrancy of the many hues that can be found in pale opalescents or unexpected acetate combinations lightened up by white.
