Spring has sprung — Bring on the Heat

As the snow melts and the grass sprouts, we can definitely say that spring has sprung! Store your puffy winter coats and make way for breezy clothes that will instantly feel like a breath of fresh air. What better way to start spring in style than getting a brand-new pair of glasses to complete your look! Read on for a look at what Spring 2019 has to offer in terms of eyewear trends and check them out next time you visit to your local OPTOPLUS clinic!

Freshen up your look

Whether you prefer warm sunset pink or fresh indigo blue, let your imagination bloom with the peaceful pastel tones and chic throwback looks this season has to offer.

Wear your glasses in style by giving them a classic modern look with metallic features and double bridged frames. Other hot looks this spring include futuristic clear or gold frames as well as timeless leopard prints. Your new eyeglass lenses can also have the same makeover with a coloured or gradient tint lens. Don’t be afraid to make it your own! For example, pair pastel yellow, orange or blue lenses with an oversized golden frame for a throwback to the 80’s.

What goes around comes around

The 21st century is often referred to as the era of innovation and change. This statement applies not only to the obvious world of technology, but also to the fashion world. Introducing the infamously contemporary square, oval, cat-eye or horn-rimmed eyewear shapes. One thing fashion has always been good at is bringing back the oldies!

Glasses with round lenses, as opposed to their angular or oblong counterparts, have always been around and a definite crowd-pleaser. Don’t believe us? All you have to do is look back at iconic personalities such as John Lennon, Whoopi Goldberg, Harry Potter and even Benjamin Franklin. So, this time around, you can sport this timeless look with thick or thin-rimmed frames!

Dare or be square

Looking for a more contemporary look to flow with the trends? We rounded up some of 2019’s new and improved angular glasses. Step out of your geometric comfort zone!

Start this spring by stepping up your eyewear game with the bold angles that the hexagonal frame has to offer. Plus, go rimless to truly embrace and show off the cutting-edge angles. However, if you’d like to transition from a classic to modern look, go angular! The perfect lovechild to the classic round and modern square is the octagonal frame. With much softer edges than the hexagon, the octagonal is perfect for the one who would like to move away from the traditional frame shapes while experimenting with geometry.

Face life with style

Let’s face it, other than being a necessity, eyewear is a fashion statement! So, you might want something that is not only durable, but suits your style and face shape as well. If you are the technical type and want to find the perfect eyeglasses that pair beautifully with your face shape – whether oval, heart, round, square or triangle – we have got you covered. The rule of thumb states that the rounder your face is, the squarer your frames should be. Square-shaped faces on the other hand should sport rounder frames. Pretty simple!

Don’t you own several purses, watches and pieces of jewelry? Why limit yourself to just one pair of glasses? Get inspired  by our 2019 spring lookbook or visit the promotion section on the OPTOPLUS website, there’s always a great deal awaiting for you.
