At
the end of winter and the beginning of spring, Luxottica drops the bomb of
sunnies with a range of fun, edgy, stylish, on-trend and dapper sunglasses for
every guy. From Burberry to Prada, the collections boast elements that
cross-pollinate from previous seasons in a heighten treatment for the new
season, adding doses of forecasted trend aspects, including gold-plating,
interchangeable metal inserts, reflective lenses and even classic micro round
frames.
BURBERRY
The
collection stretched across the traditional and also introduced some new shapes
and elements. Our favourites include the more on-trend thick black frames with
a geometric arm. More about fashion, these are a statement piece, creating
conversation wherever you go. There is no denying, in any season, the standard
tortoise-shell frame, this time, a little bolder with a thicker frame, they are
much more about fashion with a lightly tinted lens for a bit of allure. Classic
black frames are always a staple for every accessories collection. Burberry
does two styles we like; 1) a solid, thick and square frame with a light tint,
and 2) a pair of rounded-off frames with fold-over arms and a much more darker,
chrome lens. Ultimately, the Burberry eyewear collection is more traditionalist
with a tinge of trend and fashion to inspire cool style moments.
DOLCE
& GABBANA
The
Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) collection revisits a timeless favourite of
Editor, Monde Mtsi: The Westerns. In this instance, D&G take an opportunity
to add Sicilian heart and flair to the collection. With two major
style/material options: either metal or acetate. The acetate frames boast three
uber cool options that we love; yellow, black and tortoise shell. The metal
frames don a mirrored lens in matching temples to the acetate frames. The
shades interpret charm and character, making them really suitable for dapper
gentlemen.
EMPORIO ARMANI
For
the new Emporio Armani eyewear collection, the materials, the advanced
manufacturing techniques, the sophisticated design and meticulous details
reflect the inspiration of the brands opulent slogan: The Luxury of Simplicity.
In its Frames Of Life range, the iconic design of these sunglasses perfectly
reflects the brand’s heritage. The round design is accentuated by a double
bridge and by a top bar bordered by an acetate casing. The model is charismatic
and modern, making it a stylish and timeless frame for the everyday man whose
bold personality reflects that of the brand. Editor, Monde Mtsi, is a huge fan
of the rose quartz tinted version of the frames. They are ‘an elegant example of
a timeless accessory’ as he says.
PRADA
Prada
is known for its style, sophistication and trend setting aesthetic. With its
innovative spirit, Prada uses its curiosity and strong artisan traditions to
create tangible brand values. Prada’s latest offering for men includes an
inspired blend of classic shapes and contemporary details. Rounded frames are
set alongside a newer shape, almost as round with a slightly pinched chin and
finished with metal edge and hinge details. This combination creates a
modern-day frame with timeless elegance. The collection is young, trendy with a
great deal of sophistication for a continental man.
RAY-BAN
Ray-Ban
continues to push its own boundaries, take bold innovative steps and leaps into
the future with personality, courage and style. Its latest range of eyewear
comprises of styles featuring trademarks of the brand’s unmistakable DNA.
Think full colour vision through high contrast pigments and superior
anti-reflective, polar treatments. The collection also includes full metal
frames, revamped classics and even double-bridge frames for a full scope of
style for contemporary trailblazers. Our favourites include the old-favourite
double-bridge frames in treated acetate. With a lightly tinted lens, these
classics will add a dose of James Dean to your accessories. The newest addition
to the metal frame profiles include the gorgeous rose quartz octagonal with
gold metal frames. Think summer afternoon cruises on a yacht, sundowners at
your favourite or even perhaps that weekend brunch with the gents.
Whichever
pair of shades you find yourself gravitating towards, be sure to splurge on at
least two pairs of greatness. The collections boast a variety of timeless
pieces that suit any season and any style available in your current wardrobe.
