Proud to say, I have got oversized sunglasses and butterfly-shaped sunglasses this year. Yes, I do have worn them for once when I just got them.

There is no doubt, everyone wants to own a large collection of various styles of sunglasses. However, when I want to go outside, I always find them not suitable for my outfit that day, this really annoys me.

Yes, it’s right, I need some basic type sunglasses which I can wear any day any occasion.

I do not really want people to look at me closely or with a strange sight. For these times, I just want to be the “ordinary” one, to stay from the crowd. I’m not eager to be the one who says “wowl! She looks cool!” and someone drops by and looks at you closely but “OK, let me block out the UV rays”.

Square frames or some typical frame will be suited for me, it doesn’t show any personality and in good match with every day’s outfit. Anyone who doesn’t want to be too “outstanding” in the crowd but want to keep your daily look, I think basic and classical sunglasses will help. These things will never be out-of-date and really flattering.

OK, now, let’s move to some suitable and flattering classical sunglasses part. You’ll like it since it can accompany you for a long time.

1. Square frame sunglasses

#IRIS square sunglasses for women have a vintage appeal and have several typical colors for you to pick.

Autumn is a comfortable time for travel and picnics.Compared with the strong summer sunshine, autumn sunshine is more comfortable and less dazzling.

So how do you pick out the right pair of sunglasses for you in the fall?Our advice is to choose sunglasses with light lenses.These types of sunglasses block out some of the light and look very stylish.

The decorative function of light-colored sunglasses is very strong, and the color of the lenses is also very diverse, can give you a different feeling.

Blue lenses are the color of the ocean, a very comfortable color.

Light grey, different from dark lens, simple but not monotonous.

Pink is a hot color,let your heart shine through.

Make your autumn more wonderful!

As we are all slowly adjusting to a new “normal”, what will our future look like? One thing I am optimistic about is that people learn to be more patient because let’s face it, queuing and waiting is becoming even more of a norm nowadays. However, in the world of eyewear, what does it all mean? Here are some of my predictions. FYI I didn’t make them up out of thin air, I used to write for WGSN on trends so I understand how trend predictions work.

1. Popping into your local opticians for basic eye examinations could be a thing of the past. It could be conducted virtually in the near future.

With the constant development of smart glasses, doing basic examinations may take less effort and can save time for patients if they can be done virtually. However, for more serious eye-related problems, I still believe that seeing a professional is important.

2. Buying glasses online is not something new and nether is trying glasses on virtually, however, buying glasses online from a store that offers a more realistic “live shopping” experience may well be possible in the future with the help of virtual reality technolgy.

Offering consumers the “live shopping” experience but without having a physical shop space. Glasses are definitely a product that needs to be tried on and with the constant development of apps offering virtual try-ons, this could merge in with a shopping experience including dispensing opticians being available online to help customers, just like a real shop. With this pandemic, more and more people have shifted the way they shop and online shopping will have to be a focus of every retailer.

3. Consumers are more and more aware of the environmental impact we are having on the planet.

Now with the pandemic, so much PPE (disposable facemasks, gloves etc) is being produced but what will happen to them? With this in mind, more and more consumers will also want to know what materials are their glasses made of, just like in the fashion industry now. More and more people want to know and soon, this will feed through into the optical industry too because they are seen as a fashion item, especially sunglasses.

Consumers are getting smarter and the next generation will also grow up to be much more environmentally aware. By saying acetate is a cotton-based fibre will no longer cut it. Yes, it is cotton-based but how quick can it decompose or can it decompose? What chemicals are used to produce it? Can we easily recycle them? How much ends up in landfill and eventually, the sea? These are just some of the questions consumers will ask in the near future.

4. Packaging for glasses could become really minimalist and every bit of the packaging can be easily recycled.

At the moment packaging materials for one pair of glasses or sunglasses can be very elaborate but in the future, this could become very minimalist and everything used in that packaging will be easily recycled, moving away from single-use plastic.

5. The lenses used in glasses will fully decompose or may even go back to being glass.

At the moment almost all lenses are made out of plastic because it is lighter than glass (which they used to be made of). A new type of glass could be developed so they are lighter than before. Alternatively, creating a fully decomposable plastic lens is an option. Again, this isn’t something new, they are available now but are rare. The technology to develop these will come much quicker due to the pandemic and the environmental issues we are now having. New types of materials may also apply to the contact lens sector too.

These five points are just some of the things that I can see changing in the near future due to the pandemic. These five predictions are based on what is happening around us as a society and within various industries, in particular the fashion industry (which is an industry I am very familiar with and always have my eyes on). These predictions are just the basic five things I have focused on, there will be many other side trends feeding through I am sure.

As a consumer reading this, how do you feel about some of the possible changes in the future for the optical industry? The possibilities for change are endless especially now with the impact of the pandemic it is forcing us all to change and adapt quickly. It has changed the way we think and we are seeing the world a little differently. What other changes can you see happening?

In our ongoing series, “Famous Frames”, we’re highlighting sunglasses and prescription frames that well-known characters and personalities would have in their wardrobe. In this edition, we’re focusing on characters in cinema classics. These timeless films harken back to the golden age of Hollywood, but like a good pair of glasses, they never go out of style. Let’s pay a little homage to these long celebrated masterpieces and take inspiration from the chic styles of their dynamic characters.

Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

 How could we have a post about chic style without featuring Audrey Hepburn at the top of the list? She may sport a different style of shades in one or two iconic scenes in this legendary film based on the classic Truman Copote novel, but we think these glamorous shades would definitely find their way into Holly Golightly’s wardrobe with her posh sense of style, choice in simplistic yet classy color palettes, and an affinity for Tiffany-esque designs. No “super rats” insight when you’re looking through these shades.

Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird

 Whether To Kill A Mockingbird was required reading in your youth or you came across the Academy Award-winning 1963 film adaptation, you know that Atticus Finch (portrayed by the legendary Gregory Peck) is the ultimate moral compass and father figure. Channel his sophistication, lawyer know-how, and wisdom with these frames that harken back to a different era.

J.J. “Jake” Gittes, Chinatown 

If old school mysteries and neo-noirs are more your things, let’s talk about Chinatown’s J.J. Gittes, played by a youthful Jack Nicholson in 1974. Sunny Los Angeles reveals its seedy dark side when private investigator Gittes stumbles across a murder and shady practices while investigating a simple case of a supposed cheating husband. But even on the dark trail, Gittes finds himself traveling down, the California Sun continues to shine, and detectives chasing down corruption need Ultraviolet Ray protection just as much as we do. These sunglasses keep Jake looking classy as ever, even with a busted-up nose.

John “Scottie” Ferguson, Vertigo

Last but not least, we have a classic psychological thriller that coined a cinematic term (“Vertigo shot”) and is widely studied in film classes to date. Vertigo follows John “Scottie” Ferguson, a man who suffers from a severe fear of heights, as he takes on an assignment to follow a friend’s wife who is said to be in danger. Though nothing is what it seems… Jimmy Stewart brings Scottie to life in this Hitchcock masterpiece, and though he doesn’t sport sunglasses in the film, these retro shades would pair nicely with his fedora and suit in this 1958 legendary film.

Shades Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Characters Would Wear

 It’s time for another installment of “Famous Frames”, our ongoing series in which we highlight eyewear that iconic characters in film and TV would sport. This week, we’re diving into John Hughes’s 1986 classic, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Which character do you align with most, and more importantly, would you sport their shades? After all, the 80’s are back, friends.

Ferris Bueller

Let’s start with the suave, rule-breaking rebel himself: Ferris. Whether or not you’re planning to play hooky in the near future, you can channel your inner thrill-seeker and find your own way to seize the day in these sunglasses that are a pretty dead-on match for the pair Matthew Broderick rocks in the film that made him a household name and a teen heartthrob.

Sloane Peterson

Like they say, behind every great man is a great woman, and Sloane Peterson is no exception to that rule. Casually confident, collected under pressure, and always down for a spur-of-the-moment adventure, Sloane’s character traits are epitomized by her choice in simple, cool shades. Ferris may get all the credit for breaking the rules, but how much fun would his rebellious excursions really be without fearless, fun loving Sloane?

Cameron Frye

Every nonchalant rebel needs a reality check from time to time, and in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off that reality check is personified by Cameron Frye. Someone in the group has to shoulder the burden that comes with all that rule-breaking, after all. But don’t be mistaken, Cameron has a lot more going for him than a healthy moral compass and fear of authority. It turns out that this affable goof just needed a little help escaping his prison of fear and stress. Channel your quirky-yet-complex side with these Camerson-esque shades.

Principal Roone

We can’t discuss Ferris Bueller’s Day Off without mentioning the antagonist of an era. Principal Rooney gets a bad rap because he is the antithesis to Ferris’s boisterous personality and carefree approach to life. However, when it really comes down to it, Rooney was simply a man trying to do his job who got duped in his many attempts at catching a highschooler in a lie. Poor Principal Rooney. But at least he had some pretty awesome flip-up sunglasses. If Rooney is still Dean of Students at Shermer High School today, we think he’d be sporting these updated clip-on shades that can accommodate prescriptions. Though let’s be honest, he wouldn’t be rocking the robins egg blue or daisy yellow color options.
