The days of spectacles as a simple functional item are long gone. The first thing that anybody sees when meeting you is your face and what is sitting there front and centre –your glasses. We understand thatit can be overwhelming trying to choose the right frames with such a wide variety to choose from. How do you knowwhich way are eyewear fashion trends are going in 2024? At Bellamy Eyecare we feel that getting the right style should be an enjoyable experience for you whereyou can be confident that you will find the perfect look to suit your own style, tastes, lifestyle and budget. We are here to guide you and help you make the perfect choice.
A Fresh Take on Classic Styles
Some styles are simply timeless and yet manage to stay contemporary. These are a safe choice if you do not want to be daring with a more bold look. Classic styles are making something of a comeback this year but with a contemporary twist. From the bold cat-eye shapes with a blast of colour to the old favourite aviators but with a matt finish these give a sophisticated air with a dash of flair.
Styling tip: Our stylists recommend you look to match these updated classics with everyday wardrobe staples. Think crisp white shirt, your favourite jeans and/or a tailored blazer – all perfect canvasses for these versatile frames.
Embrace the Bold and Beautiful
Would you like to stand out from the crowd? Bold, oversized frames are designed to make a statement wherever you go. Whether you’re consideringchunky rectangular shapes or dramatic round designs, oversized frames can offer a perfect blend of retro and modern style.
The problem is, bold can be scary. What if they don’t suit you? Don’t worry—that’s where we come in. At Bellamy Eyecare, our experienced stylists will help you find the perfect oversized frame to complement your face shape and personality. You’ll be able to step out with confidence.
Styling Tip: When wearing bold frames, let them be the focal point of your look. Keep your outfit simple, and let your glasses do the talking. Think neutral tones and clean lines—your frames are your best accessory!
Soft Neutrals and Transparent Tones
Ifsubtlety is more your style, you’ll love the trend for soft neutrals and transparent tones. This is really about a minimalist approach and subtlety. Frames in clear acetate, pale pinks, or soft greys provide understated elegance. These frames are beautifully adaptable and are ideal for both work and play. They will give you a smart, chic vibe whatever the occasion.
Geometric and Futuristic Shapes
We are seeing a very exciting move in 2024 towards the edgy, contemporary look of geometric shapes. We are seeing hexagonal, octagonal and even some asymmetric shapes creating innovative eyewear.
Styling Tip: Choose metallic finish such as gold, silver. Sleek, modern outfits are the order of the day when wearing ultra-modern eyewear. These frames are all about confidence. They are great conversation starters which will get you noticed.
