Munich (dpa) - Actually, the opti 2021 eyewear fair in Munich should have opened its doors on Friday - instead, the organizers have now informed about the eyewear trends of this year by press release.
“Colorful announcement or gentle restraint”, this is how the industry initiative outlined the most important trends.
"In 2021, color sunglasses and models with eye-catching plastic frames made of acetate will contrast with ultra-slim glasses or models in natural tones."
Red-brown tortoiseshell glasses make room for light cream and caramel tones.
Another trend are extremely delicate, very light ultra-slim glasses in gold, silver or black.
The avant-garde also included retro glasses in sophisticated metal combinations with architectural lines, unusual double bridges or extravagant cat-eye styles.
People who wear glasses with bold acetate frames - glossy, matt, milky or transparent - should stand out.
When it comes to sunglasses, power colors set the tone, explained the Board of Trustees for Good Vision and referred to stars and influencers: "Hardly anyone goes without colorful glasses."
Whether round, square or huge: "Shades signal happiness and shine in all the colors of the rainbow."
