If there is one color that was a major trend this fall on the runway, it’s oxblood. A dark, rich, moody, wine-red color that evokes power, drama, and allure and seen on the likes of Gucci, Ferragamo, Hermes, and Erdem. While the regal shade draws naturally to formal and evening looks, it makes a surprising pop of color in accessories like glasses.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, vivid red sunglasses were a summer staple, whether they had playful tinted lenses or candy apple red frames. High-gloss frames were a light and bright summer staple. While the color of the year may be peach fuzz, red will continue to be a prevalent color story in 2024 and beyond.

Saint Laurent frequently appears in EZContacts roundups for a reason—they create stunning frames. They are often chic, timeless, and stylish, embodying the brand’s edgy, elegant, and effortless ethos.

Because the brand focuses on everlasting design, Saint Laurent frames are for everybody to wear. Saint Laurent has been a leading name in designer eyewear, but they were a prominent house of fashion even before that. Originally a House of Haute Couture, Yves Saint Laurent founded his eponymous brand in 1961 – but the road to getting there wasn’t easy.
