Winter in Adelaide is a unique experience. While the rest of the world might be bundling up and staying indoors during winter, as a city we’re still out and about, finding ways to enjoy the crisp air and the occasional sunny day.
At Adelaide City Optometrist, we believe that winter is the perfect time to update your accessories, through eyewear. You can make a bold fashion statement and protect your eyes at the same time. These are our top picks to help you block out the winter blues and stay stylish all season long.
Winter Eyewear Edit 2024
The Transparent Trend
Transparent frames are versatile and can complement any outfit. They’re perfect for those who want a subtle yet stylish look. Try our collection of clear frames to add a touch of elegance to your winter wardrobe.
2. Oversized
Channel your inner diva with oversized retro frames. This glamorous Gucci frame features an oversized silhouette that exudes a bold, statement-making presence. Featuring main design cues that mirror eyewear looks of the 1970’s, and the adventurous magenta colour, these frames are all about making a statement. Remember, bigger is better!
This is our locally made, avant-garde, oversized option. An ultra modern take on oversized, our Pascali Opera. Go big or go home! An oversized frame is a barrier to protect from the hard winter wind and debris. But don’t worry, they’re not just about looks – these beauties offer superior protection against those cheeky winter UV rays.
3. Top Bar Meets Browline
For a modern twist on a classic look, try the top bar meets browline style. These frames combine retro aesthetics with contemporary chic, making them a must-have for any fashion-forward individual. These frames are perfect for both men and women.
4. Must-Have Metals
Metal frames are sleeker than ever. Thin metal frames offer a minimalist look that’s both sophisticated and stylish. Whether you prefer gold, silver, or a bold colour, our metal frame collection will elevate your winter style.
5. Geometric Shapes
Who says winter has to be dull? Certainly not us! This season, we’re bringing the heat with our collection of geometric frames. If you’re looking to make a bold statement, geometric frames are the way to go. With sharp angles and unique shapes, these frames are perfect for those who want to stand out. From hexagonal to octagonal, our collection has a variety of options to suit your style.
6. Gradient Lenses
Gradient lenses have come increasingly popular for winter eyewear, adding a touch of sophistication and practicality to your cold-weather looks. These lenses are eye-catching and trendy, transitioning from dark at the top to lighter at the bottom. This type of lens tint is highly functional that’s perfect for the varying light conditions of winter.
7. The Y2K Rimless Revival
The early 2000’s are back, and so are rimless frames. Step back into the millenium with our Y2K rimless frames! These sleek, barely-there glasses are making a major comeback, and we’re here for it. Our clear lens version offers a subtle nod to the trend. Available in a variety of colours and materials, our Y2K rectangle frames are a trendy addition to any eyewear collection and we can customise these lenses with any colour lens you desire.
