Last fall the fashion world went crazy over Raf Simons' architecturally innovative Dior So Real sunglasses.  Celebrities from the daring Rihanna to the blog-darling Olivia Palermo were seen sporting the look.  With the Summer 2015 Resort collection, Simons pushed the envelope forward with the Dior Technologic.   Featuring a classic silhouette, the Technologic uses open metal detailing for a futuristic update that manages to to still look sleek and minimalist.  Several versions exist, with mirrored silver and gold lenses available for a bolder look compared to more traditional gray and brown tints for those wanting a more wearable pair.  For the color-loving consumer, you can even select blue tinted lenses in a silver frame.  Look for these to be popping up around your instagram feeds and favorite fashion websites as we transition into the spring and summer months!

Wondering what the top trend for eyewear is this fall?  Look no further than Raf Simmon's sunglasses for Dior for a trend that the most fashion forward celebrities are embracing.  Dior's So Real sunglasses are an architectural rethinking of the clubmaster, a look that is incredibly futuristic in appearance despite its retro inspiration.  Celebrities like Olivia Palermo and Rihanna have embraced the look for recent fashion week appearances around the globe.

The color options are just as inspiring as the unique frame shape.  Just check out this black version with the bright blue nosepads.  This is a trend I can really see taking off.  Neon nosepads with a more basic frame in a solid black or brown could be great.
Not convinced yet?  Supermodel Karina Kurkova sported a great pair of Dior So Real sunglasses for a recent spread in Vogue Spain.

Not sure your pocket book can support this trend?  Look for similar options at your local high end optical by embracing the mix of plastic and metal.  Architectural details like browbars or oversized metal bracketing can elicit this same retro turned futuristic feel.  And if you can find frames with colored nosepads, then take a risk.  This touch of detailing can elevate your frame selection into what is styling into 2015!
