Eyewear Trends for 2018

Oberti, setting trends and spreading fashion. We'll tell you what's in and what's out for this season.

The change of season is the ideal time to buy accessories, and the main must-have in our seasonal shopping list are new sunglasses. Since fashion must be partly functional, these are necessary to protect us from the sun when we go out, also help to complement our looks and, in some cases, provide visual help (such as corrective sunglasses, which are both useful and chic).

At Oberti we are always one step ahead. We not only create fashion, but we also spread it, and we set trends in the process. And since is not all about sunglasses but accessories in general, today we show you the most important and chic trends for this 2018 to help you renovate your accessories this year.

Eyewear: Ins and Outs for This 2018

We listed up the most fashionable frame trends of this 2018, so you know what’s chic and what’s just out of date. If you’re looking for some stylish glasses, which go with your new formal outfits, or a great pair of sunglasses for a nice walk around the city and look fierce at the same time, we’ve got you covered. You’ve read it first at Oberti.

1. Clubmaster Sunglasses: these semi-rimless sunglasses, also known as the half-rim, are discrete, cool looking and timeless. The semi-rimless sunglasses are a great fit for both the elegant man and the stylish woman. They can be regarded as hipster glasses for guys because of their vintage-inspired look with a modern twist.
2. Tortoise Shell General Eyewear: They give those autumn vibes better than any other accessory you might have. The tortoise shell glasses can be used by any fashion sensitive persona, regardless of gender. This type of frame gets along with many color palettes and glass tinctures.
3. Cat Eye Glasses: Why? Because they never go out of style. That’s why you’ll wear them now, in the spring and also in the summer. It’s a versatile frame that goes with most outfits and looks good on any occasion. It is a must-have in every fashionista’s wardrobe.
4. Oversized Sunglasses: A favorite of the ladies, the oversized sunglasses style is the key to achieving that celebrity look. Wear them in white with a touch of gold around the oversized lenses or in autumn brown color, with these, the head turns are guaranteed for you.
5. Golden-Framed Eyewear: Nothing makes you more distinguished than gold, that’s a fact. With golden accessories, such as sunglasses, you can vary from “classy” to “flamboyant,” so try different combinations and frames that have gold included in them. On sunglasses, the gold applications go great with bright colors such as yellow or beige and also combine very well with white shirts and cardigans.

What Are the Accessories Trends for This Season?

On the topic of accessories, there are those born out of necessity and those born out of pure frivolity. The fall 2018’s best extras are a delightful mix of both.

The animal print shoes ensure that everyone will be looking at you when you make an entrance, and you can combine them with a contrasting print on your oversized bag. On the other hand, wearing scarves has emerged as a major “ready to wear” trend, turning into a must-have.

Many avant-garde designers are rethinking the potential of the classic accessory. But the leading role in accessories, other than our Oberti designs, goes to... The gloves! This season, the most chic gloves go all the way to the elbow and come in all the colors of the rainbow. Even men got into the gloves love, and some runways show designers turned bondage latex into kinky gauntlets. And for those of you who can't be away from your phones, go for a vintage styled fingerless mitten, just like the ones Karl Lagerfeld uses.

It’s not just about trends; it’s about fashion.

and it’s not just about fashion...

It’s Oberti.

Getting Away with Statement Sunglasses

Make your sunglasses the stars of your outfit.

What is the most important piece of a look? It can be anything! From your shoes... to your sunglasses! This transcendental and striking piece is called ''Statement'' and can radically change the way others perceive your attire and how appropriate it is for a given event. The Statement sunglasses must contrast with the rest of the overall look and bring attention to them. That is what defines them as a unique and avant-garde piece.

In Oberti we know how important it is that this type of pieces reflect the intensity of your look and project the security that only a true fashionista has to wear original and modern clothes. That’s why we present the best trends and ideas to wear sunglasses that impact and impress. Trust us! Oberti knows best!

As of Spring of 2018, fashion-forward eyewear wasn’t just UV-protecting accessories. Instead, some super creative designers included them in their runway shows as essential statement-making elements to their collections. This means they could even overshadow other designer’s pieces. Who would imagine sunglasses could do that? And just like the frequent catwalk appearances of newly discovered supermodels, they were impossible to ignore. Frames were either enormous and thick or minimalist and with minuscule borders. Also, spectacles came coated in a vast range of colors.

The standard aviator and Wayfarer shapes were thrown out the window, and cat-eye and sports styles were ushered in and given new high-fashion interpretations (read more in our article about eyewear trends for this 2018). Some were super-thin and had this '90s fits vibe, while others possessed a more mature and demure sensibility to them. On the other hand, some were incredible out-of-the-box art major projects glued to the upper-half of the face.

With the hottest designers, such as Moschino, Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabanna, and Gucci,  including statement eyewear to their collections, it is needless to say, come summer, our eyewear game should be beyond “on pint glasses.”

Statement sunglasses: ready-to-wear tips for eyewear

Sunglasses are usually associated with two things: one is attempting to escape the limelight, the paparazzi, and the crowds of fans. The other one is a quick solution for a hangover. Some celebrities tuck their shades under their headpieces to lose track of the paparazzi, while others don their darkest shades on even the cloudiest, rainiest days to cover up after a sleepless night.

But these trends are not an option for attention-loving, glamorous, bold fashionistas, and certainly not for our dear readers.

This summer promises to be full of eyewear that looks anything but incognito. The spring runways were dotted with uncanny specs, larger-than-life pieces that ranged from iridescent Blade-Runner rims to double cat-eye frames. The future is here, and it comes in the shape of eyewear. Here are a few tips that will help you get away with it!

1. It’s all about attitude: If it feels right, then it looks right. Before you step out of the house, take good, long look in the mirror. If you’re not 100% sure that’s the look for the day, go back and change. The world is your runway, so the first thing you need to check out of the list before you stomp that sidewalk is your attitude and confidence.
2. Think of contrasting colors: you’re going out dressed in purple? Wear big, round, all-gold sunglasses. You need some shades to go out with that pretty pink dress? Anything in the family of blue will work wonders for making a statement. The trick is to go the opposite way in the chromatic circle when choosing which pair of sunglasses go with a look.
3. Don’t be afraid of the sparkles!: the shinier and glitzier, the better. Who doesn’t love diamonds (or well-placed rhinestones)? Anything that has either a glittery, metallic or pearl-like shimmer to it will stylish your look to a new level.
4. Vintage is a comfort zone: yes, we all know classics never go out of fashion, but they can turn predictable. And predictable in the fashion world means extinct. So update yourself! Look for new brands, shapes, and frames! Who knows what you can find?
5. Less CAN be more: minimalism is not always the option to go with, but when it comes to statement pieces (being the Sunglasses one of the flashiest, most visible fashion statements) it is better if you don’t overdo it. Nothing can go wrong with a shape-hugging black dress with matching black shoes, a simple golden chain around your waist and the biggest, most decadent gold-framed glasses you can find. That’s how a statement is made. That’s how you make all eyes turn to you!

Remember, our dearest readers, you read it first here, at Oberti. We not only wear fashion, we make it! And we not only make fashion, we spread it!

You can complete a look just by putting a pair of shades on.
