BLUE LIGHT PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR More than just being a pandemic trend, the popularity of blue light lenses has helped create an awareness of the harmful effects of the digital screens that we are all being exposed to. Blue light rays are a part of the sunlight spectrum. They move with extremely high energy and hence cause damage to human eyes like cataract, macular degeneration, Dry Eye Syndrome. Now that people are becoming aware of the ill-effects of blue light, more and more of them will be purchasing anti-blue light glasses in 2021. TRANSPARENT RIMS They seemed to be a passing trend but have stayed since last year and my prediction is that they are going to continue being around for a while longer. So brace yourself for these easy-to-wear glamour articles that go with everything and do not distract much from the wear but, in a very subtle way, adds that little bit more to make them noticeable. And with the variations of half metal and half transparent, there’s that much more for the eyewear designers to get more creative. GEOMETRIC GLASSES Well, it’s no problem if you weren’t really good at maths, but if you added a little bit of geometry to your eyewear shapes, it could add up to a lot or maybe even multiply your style quotient a wee bit. My apologies for those drastically forced puns but it was really hard to not subtract them from the sentences. Jokes apart, these can be really nice with more wearable options, with added funk. Geometric glasses like octagon, hexagon, square and rectangle are excellent to highlight or accentuate your facial features, especially for those with a round face. THIN RIM FRAMES Thin rim frames provide a certain understated elegance and I am sure you’d agree that there’s nothing more chic than a sleek pair of gold or rose-gold rimmed metal frame. You can always pair them with basic plain colours, and you’re not going to look anything lesser than a magazine cover model. WOODEN FRAMES You can love them or hate them but you just can’t ignore them. And for all those out those who love all things natural, wooden eyewear is not just another passing trend. And I am sure 2021 will see a lot more wearable designs and added colours. And there’s going to be a lot of people who love to dress up in their own funky style pairing it up with wooden frames to turn up the ‘funk’ quotient a wee bit more. CAT-EYE GLASSES This retro classic seems to never fade away. But actually there’s no real secret to why that happens. As long as women want to amp up their style statement in whatever mood they want to be - a bossy babe or a naughty mystery - cateye frames will always be around. And 2021 will definitely see a lot of women wanting to get back out there and flaunt their style. And they all know that there’s nothing better than a cateye frame to do this! 18 VISION PLUS INDIA EDITION
