Feminine women's eyewear is being
embellished with frills and lace. This is a significant
transformation from the monotone color schemes and plain
designs that have dominated the fashion landscape in recent
years. Frills and lace are finding approval among female
consumers in a wide age range, from teenagers and twenty-somethings
to mature women. Not only eyewear, but also some clothing,
accessories, bags and belts, have taken on a soft pastel,
feminine note, and floral designs are particularly popular.
Feminine looks are just about all over, in
styles that run the gamut of girlie girl to sophisticated
lady. The most well-liked feminine colors consist of white,
pale yellow, pink, and other light colors, along with floral
patterns. This feminine look is an uplifting change from the
sharp edges and monotone color schemes that have defined
women’s fashion in recent years, which projected an image
of strong-mindedness with unadorned, tailored blouses and
monotone coordinates.
