1 TREND:
So Sixties

The Moschino runway featured bell-bottoms, pillbox hats, and bubble flip hairdos, but fresh, funky sunwear styles from Safilo were certainly outta sight. Pictured is Moschino sunglass style MOS 034/S, available in January 2019.

2 TREND:
Love to Layer

Living in layers is the chicest way to mix and match for the upcoming season. Whether over the top or subtly styled, it’s a totally customizable craze that screams fall. To top off this layered look on the Gucci runway is statement-making metal optical style GG0396S from Kering.

3 TREND:
Collegiate Checks

The ubiquitous check pattern represents back-to-school collegiate chicness, and this season it got a colorful update. Versace was mad about plaid, and this look is class-to-club ready with eyewear from Luxottica, complete with on-trend yellow lenses—recently favored by “it” girls and influencers.

4 TREND:
Animal Prints

Leopard, zebra, and snakeskin, oh my. Animal prints are an untamable trend on tap, seen on Fall/Winter runways as head-to-toe cheetah looks or represented simply as a funky leopard-print scarf. Animal print, a Roberto Cavalli staple, was fearless and glam for FW18-19, perfectly paired with sunglass style RC1113 (pictured) from Marcolin, a geometric design with flat metal temples lasered with a zebra pattern.

TREND:
No-Fear Headwear

It’s all about warmth with the garment du jour, knit balaclavas—such as the one seen here on the CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC runway, paired with sunglass style CKNYC1854SR from Marchon Eyewear. The wide oval frames are complemented by a one-piece tinted shield overlaying the lens and thin temples.

PANTONE FASHION COLOR TREND REPORT

Inspired directly by the New York Fashion Week runways, Pantone offers its Fashion Color Trend Report. A season-specific note to remember for your eyewear assortment? “More so than in previous seasons, many of these hues are being used to make a very specific statement when used singularly,” Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, says of the palette. “However, adding an unexpected element allows for the artistry and originality that moves fashion forward.”
