Avant Garde. Angular shapes, modern patterns, emphasis on the temple, and the color white are the latest expressions of avant garde style.
Retro Shapes. Retro shapes such as cateyes and oversized rounds continue to fascinate, this year with lens sizes exaggerated either up or down.
Colors. Browns, blacks, and reds dominate the season's color palette in apparel; the trend is echoed in eyewear.
Linings and Layers. Designers continue to use layered plastics for interesting effects, including hidden linings behind the frame. They're adding patterns such as stripes and animal prints, as well as logos, especially on the temple. One especially new trend is placing color elements on clear plastic.
Details. Details add unique interest even to simple frame shapes. Unusual materials such as wood and leather, cutouts, jewels, and rhinestones convey luxury and craftsmanship or emphasize the masculinity or femininity of a frame.
