For a last minute statement accessory for Summer 2022, the world of independent eyewear offers drama, colour and evocative design…
A frame that will stand out at a special event. A new colour that will remain fresh in Fall. Or a must-have style to pep up a holiday wardrobe. If you’re trying on new styles for the season, take some notes on our tips on colours and shapes. The statement frames are expressive and bound to turn heads this season while classic shapes mix up glowing colours and fresh combinations, from candy hues and pretty brights to classic neutrals and monochrome tones.

With a direction that switches into sustainable innovation – made from Acetate Renew – a material made from 60% sustainably sourced wood pulp and 40% certified recycled content the model Ayan has a refreshing minimal shape and comes in the interesting colour called ‘pine honey’ which is transparent but also defining as a rich natural colour that is very flattering against the skin: – www.mykita.com
The cat eye is a spectacular choice for all seasons. Its flirty, feminine design is glamorous for day and night, and particularly pretty when paired with florals and prints. Model Wisp at OGI Eyewear offers the classic shape and an injection of bright colour on elegant crystal! www.ogieyewear.com
Struktur’s appealing Made in Normandy collection includes the organic shape The Rumble, a sunglass design that combines oval and angular with a boldly bevelled or “sculpted” form. The frame possesses lots of character, and would be a stylish piece for a summer event or party. www.struktur-eyewear.fr
The straight cut corners of Solana offer extra edge to this high-tech style that is produced from rolled-up sheet titanium. Colours are attractive and playful, incorporating metallic finishes, from Mat Metallic Ocean or purple, to this bright, memorable flattering red. www.orgreenoptics.com
