Eye On Trends: Monochrome – The Hottest Trend In Eyewear Right Now

Black is most definitely back this season. We’ve seen a surge in back to basic black & white designs this season. It’s a bold move as we approach summer but it’s a path that many brands are taking and we’re excited by the results. Across the brands we stock we’re seeing some of the sleekest and most stylish black frames with hints of white that we’ve ever seen.

 

PRADA PR19US SUNGLASSES

This Prada frame has an 80’s & 90’s inspired retro shape & bold design. The ‘slim cat eye’ bar had been set high by other brands earlier this season, but Prada have created one of the most stylish frames in this style yet. Perfect for the trendsetter.
