Hot Eyewear News from Vision Expo in Las Vegas!!!
We keep informed on trends we see emerge in eyewear fashion, and this year at Vision Expo in Las Vegas we noticed a lot of them! Frames are continuing to get larger and rounder. Crystal clear acetates are super hot and now are being shown with soft tints as well. Color is still big and being introduced in creative layering hand painting. Mixed materials dominated many of the upscale lines, which fused together acetate and titanium, for unique looks and comfort. Technology is growing by leaps and bounds, both on the frame side and the lens side. (Look for our upcoming blog on digital eye strain)
Here are a few of the favorite things we noticed this fall:
 |
| The new frames we ordered were larger, rounder and very light-weight for maximum comfort. With their beautiful colors, multiple quality materials, and modern designs, these new "framed" Lindbergs will make a great addition to our optical. |
 |
| Some of our premier sunglass lines are now offering new eyeglass lines. These acetate/titanium combo frames are one of the new styles offerecd by Costa. |
 |
| Rounded frames are front and center in the newest eyewear designs. These matte caramel colored beauties by Barton Perreira were a group favorite. |
 |
| Colorful layers, rounded shapes and larger sizes were some of the design details we noticed in many lines. We loved these new sunglasses by Lafont. |
 |
| Larger, rounder frames are also being show for sunglasses. Many designs, like thesefrom Matsuda, are unisex. |
 |
| These are NOT your grandfather's clip-on sunglasses! Several of our cutting edge eyewear designers are creating custom clip-on sunglasses to give you great flexibility with your eyewear purchase. These Barton Perreira metal frames come with an acetate clip-on option to give it great style and an added layerof "coolness"! |

| Allied Metal Works is a new company that we have added to our optical. This company has state-of-the-art engineering for maximum comfort and durability. There are no hinge pins to fall out, titanium makes them extra light-weight, and they have unique layering designs incorporating acetate and titanium. |
