Beverly Suliteanu, vice-president of product
development at WestGroupe, says the look for
men’s eyewear in 2018 moves to a more
minimalistic realm.
“Designs will continue to have a vintage feel, but
with a modern twist that draws inspiration from
architectural and contemporary design,”
she says.
“Metals continue to see a resurgence with a focus
on thin, lightweight materials. Stainless steel and
titanium are becoming increasingly popular as
are thin metal wire styles reminiscent of the ‘90s.”
The Kliik denmark K-604 by WestGroupe,
available in sand smoke, grey smoke and crystal,
is a vintage-inspired style that is trending high
this season for men.
It features a squared-off round shape and keyhole
bridge combined with a multi-hued translucent
acetate. It also features a metal rectangular, 5-barrel
hinge that is visible at the end piece giving it
a retro twist.
The Kliik denmark K-601 in brown black is also
a popular model for WestGroupe. It boasts a sleek
modified square shape and a unique soldered
bridge inspired by the vintage revival.
The Kliik denmark K-596, meanwhile, boasts a
classic round shape with a vintage subtle keyhole
bridge. The frame features a clean minimalist
design with metal end cap and discreet branding
with the logo plaque only at the temple tips.
WestGroupe’s Evatik E-9159 frame features a
round shape, an ode to ‘90s styling with a mod-
ern twist, that is one of the most popular eye-
wear trends for 2018. The frame’s keyhole bridge
