I love spring for many reasons: warm weather, being able to leave the house without 50 layers of heavy clothing, the return of wonderful, wonderful sunshine. Sunny days bring about the prospect of new spring shades, and we saw some awesome looks on the runways during NY Fashion Week. Overall, vintage styles ruled the catwalks: Cat eye shapes, pop art colors – all would make the perfect companion for an al fresco weekend brunch or a fresh accessory to a seasons-old sundresses or a comfy tee and cut-offs. Ahead, Metro Eye has your Spring Shades Forecast for the top 5 styles of the upcoming season. Eye candy, indeed!
It’s Hip To Be Square
Strong yet feminine, the square shape took a bold, brash turn on Spring runways. We particularly loved these gorgeous caramel gradient shades by SALT.
"Holtz" sunglasses by SALT
Tortoise Shell
Tortoise shell frames are the “it” thing this season, and Spring Fashion Week runways saw every designer from Stella McCartney to Marc Jacobs putting their own unique spin on this retro classic.
"Daphne" sunglasses by Bevel
Cat-Eyes
It doesn’t get more vintage than this 50’s throwback. Updated takes on this style keep the shape looking fresh – not like you raided grandma’s closet.
Polarized Cat-Eyes by David Yurman
Oversized Eye Candy
Big shapes in bold candy colors were everywhere on the Spring runways. A playful ode to the staple styles of the 70’s, expect this season’s styles to pop with fresh and innovative color combinations.
