the future is now

All eyes are on the future this fall as angular and geometric styles take frames from mundane to sleek. Sporty and futuristic influences collide to produce hard-edged Wayfarers, mono-lens shields, layered plastics and more. Color-blocking and printed or embedded patterns on frames add a 3-D twist to typically flat, dark styles. Shields and wraparounds come to the forefront, as well as thick plastics, flat tops and sharp shapes.

Pair fashion forward frames with metallic scarves or neon-accented, reflective gloves, semi-sheer basic tee and slim fit dropped crotch pants for a look that is totally futuristic.
