Breaking away from the standard blacks and browns of eye wear will keep you on the cutting edge of this trend. According to abclocal.go.com, this trend "takes old classic shapes and adds modern color." Popular colors include red, lime green, purple, blue and leopard print.
Oversized

When it comes to eyeglasses, bigger is now better. These thicker, plastic, square (RayBan does a great version of these) frames are no longer associated with the school bookworm.

Keep face shape in mind

When shopping for the latest trends, be sure to keep your face shape, cheek bones, and jawline in mind. Not all trends work for all people so choose the one that will keep you looking trendy and chic but still like yourself.
