BACK TO
THE ‘80S
By Denis Langlois
Flashback to the days of Flashdance.
Anything “bright and neon” will be popular
for eyewear this fall, according to The Vision
Council’s Eyecessorize campaign.
“Though it’s 2018, eyewear this autumn will
make us feel as though we’ve been transported
back to the ‘80s, with chunky oval, chic cat-eye
and heart shapes, classy aviators with mod
twists, tinted lenses, especially in the primary
colours, and retro-striped, polka dot and hound-
stooth prints, plus so much more,” Lindsey
Ruhe, eyewear expert for The Vision Council,
tells Optical Prism magazine.
Hot pinks, intense teals, scarlet reds, vibrant
yellows, glowing oranges and lime greens
will be among the tubular hues for fall.
“With the new season comes a resurgence of
frame styles reminiscent of past decades plus
an infusion of looks inspired by all parts of
the world,” Ruhe adds.

In the meantime, here are some way-cool
looks that reflect the ‘80s-resurgence trend.
