While tortoiseshell frames have been popular since the 1920s, we are beginning to see a softer version of the multi-color pattern incorporated into frames as of late.
If you’ve always loved the timelessness of a tortoiseshell frame but thought they were too dark or too bold, this new colorway is just for you. Blonde tortoiseshell glasses have become popular as the lighter, brighter cousin to the classic brown and black speckled shades.
While tortoiseshell is seen as a classic style, popularized almost 100 years ago, there are plenty of other ways to incorporate pattern play into your eyeglasses.
Designers have been artistically expanding on this trend, trying out different textures, patterns, and prints on acetate frames. From edgy graffiti to Burberry plaid, these printed eyeglass frames offer a fun and unexpected look. And patterned eyeglasses aren’t just for those wanting a bold look. Subdued hues and subtle colors offer a unique take on your next pair of frames.

One of the most common facial features that reveals the passage of time is the development of something known as tear troughs. Tear troughs are depressions that form beneath the eyes and cast a shadow that can make an individual appear tired, aged, or even unhealthy.
While the formation of tear troughs is usually not a significant health issue, their initial appearance can be unsettling. Considering this, it’s important to understand the causes of tear troughs, how they affect an individual’s appearance and self-esteem, and various treatment options that are available to address this concern.
‘Tis the season to add some sparkle to your look. Eyeglasses are the most important accessory you put on every day and they can shine just as bright as your favorite diamond earrings.
