COLOR FORECASTING 2008-2009

By Gal Shapiro, EyeBuyDirect Fashion Stylist

Emerging fashion trends are always an excellent guide not only for selecting eyewear colors that are currently in-style, but as inspiration for coordinating eyewear with your outfits. These palettes inspired by the seasons are a great starting point for choosing colored glasses frames and of course, which items from your wardrobe to match.

SPRING Colors like mulberry, marigold, charcoal and slate gray will be gracing fashion runways and eyewear collections this coming spring season. This palette is inspired by flowers like the rose and dandelion, as well as achromatic grays to add a modern twist. Mix eyeglasses frames of colors like teal or blush pink with clothes of any other shades in this spring palette to create a harmonious and coordinated outfit.

AUTUMN / WINTER This retro-inspired palette of colors like magenta, mauve, sepia, dark mustard and salmon is earthy yet has a distinctively bold and rich feel. The rusty browns are reminiscent of autumn´s falling leaves while the warm plum-type colors will brighten any winter´s day. Glasses frames in burgundy would go perfectly with an outfit based around any other shade in this palette, particularly copper and olive green.
