A new year means new trends. The days when glasses and specs were considered geeky are now a faint memory of the past. Glasses have become a staple fashion accessory and trend-setters all over the world are now wearing glasses daily – whether they really need to see 20-20 or not. Here are the top trends to look out for in 2016!
Two-toned Glasses
Two-toned or two-coloured frames really made a big entrance in 2015. Although classic black frames are always a great go-to, colourful frames like these are super fun and unique. There are so many colour combinations to choose from, which means more exciting looks to try! Hanh from Hanhabelle lifestyle blog does a pretty sweet job of showing you how to rock a pair.

Big Square Frames
If you want to keep it fresh and edgy, you can always go for some big square frames. It’s very convenient to have a pair of glasses like these to throw on when you’re presenting your quarter budget, meeting your girl/boyfriend’s parents, or just chillaxing at home – because no matter what, glasses like these will just make you look smarter, more mature and kind of like you know what you are doing. Win!
