This eyewear trend seems to be the antithesis of our crisis-ridden times. Bold combinations of strong tones, stark contrasts and surprising colour gradients dominate the picture. Geometric and asymmetrical shapes make a statement and show how individuality is valued. Unusual cat-eye shapes, XL pilot sunglasses and oversized frames are driving the trendy retro chic. The message: glasses have long since become more than just visual aids – they stand for style, character and individuality.
