Fashion in Focus: Two-Tones for Spring!

Meet Dr. S -- a new member in the Eyedolatry team!

Introducing a new segment for the site -- please meet Dr. S, who has so nicely agreed to be our resident fashion columnist!  There are so many great looks for glasses out there, and who better to have the inside knowledge on the best new trends than an optometrist who spends all day with glasses?  We have a ton of great looks in store for you over the coming weeks, so stay tuned for regular posts featuring new glasses trends!

Today's feature: Two-Tones

The two-tone trend that has really taken the ophthalmic world by storm.  Two-toned glasses are popular for both men and women, and they are a great way to put a pop of color into your look without being over the top.  You can chose a subtle combo of tortoise and clear plastic, or for a bigger statement chose a pairing of brown or black with a bright color like radiant orchid (this year's pantone color of the year) or turquoise!


I love this pairing of two-tone with that bright pop of purple.  From a distance, the color is so subtle, but up close the statement is bold!

For a more traditional take on two-tone, you can never go wrong with a pairing of tortoise and clear plastic.  The color combo draws your focus to your eye and not your glasses, a perfect way to wear plastic frames but get that light-weight look.
