Kaleidoscope of Colorful Eyewear

As always, designers have fun with bright, vibrant colors and compounding these colors into a pair of eyewear. Bright colors currently in style include fruits such as citrus, mango, lime green and peach. One of the currents trends is also transparent fashion colors. This is when the colorized eyewear is darker on the top and gradually fades on the lower eyewire - it could also feature a cutout like design on the temples, or it could have a clear zyl frame front with colorized temples, for example. Big sunglasses and shields are still a favorite.
