A Bolt from the Blue: The Surprising Autumn/Winter Colour Trend
We may associate autumn with the muted tones of ombre, plum and forest green, but this year the designers seem unwilling to let go of summer optimism with punchy shades of cobalt blue on the A/W catwalks. Lanvin, DKNY and Prabal Gurung were just some of the designers to embrace this bold shade. And with the likes of Bradley Cooper and Johnny Depp donning quirky blue lenses in their glasses, we decided to round up our favourites from our selection of blue glasses...
Whether you’re looking for smart navy frames for the office or a pair of bold cobalt glasses, we’ve got it covered at Direct Sight.
These Carrera CA616
3 glasses are bold, sporty frames with bright highlights of blue around the angular frame. As a unisex frame, these glasses are ideal for everyday wear. Team with tailored trousers to nail the upcoming season’s futuristic trend.
The Givenchy Couture collection for A/W 12 has a clear emphasis on dip-dye fringing. The fringing might be a tricky look to pull off, but with this pair of Giorgio Arma
ni GA974 glasses, you can nail the dip-dye style trend. Featuring a cool acetate frame with graduated colour effect, these glasses add a unique twist to the classic wayfarer frame.
As one of the brightest frames in our collection, the Oxydo OX445 glasses are the ideal pair to make a bold statement. Team with some simple black tailoring to add a fun twist to your outfit, or make the most of the cobalt blue trend for an intense colour hit.
The Smith Chainmail 2 glasses conjure a vision of summer holidays and Mediterranean seas with a bright azure frame. Not for the faint-hearted, these glasses would make a striking addition to any outfit.
As the Devil Wears Prada tyrannical editor told her assistant, ‘it’s not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean’. Who knew there were so many blues to choose from? Browse our collection of blue women’s glasses to choose your favourite shade.
