As the temperatures drop and we head towards the December holiday season, green and brown eyewear tones for men are enjoying a special moment
Whether it’s the ongoing love of nature-inspired colours in the world around us (leaf, stone, woodgrain, horn and earthy hues) or fashion’s influence – deep tones of green and brown for eyewear make an exquisite match for the menswear collections (tops, trousers, trainers “beef and broccoli” style) we’re seeing right now, and those warm heavier fabrics, cosy fleeces and thick knits in store. Above: in the Seraphin collection by OGI Eyewear, model Brookside illustrates how winter apparel can be perfectly styled with a new frame in tones which fuse with the overall look – think tortoise, brown, khaki, mocca and many close variations of these greens and browns. www.ogieyewear.com

Andy Wolf’s focus on the big and bold looks with wide temples – for men and women – is further enhanced with a palette of warm or wintery colours such as green and brown – sun model Larch or optical style frame 4621 are good examples in this range of frames that are working this modern look and vibe. www.andy-wolf.com
