Beyond the obvious Pantone colours, subtler tones in the eyewear palette for Spring work beautifully for diverse skin tones, with varieties which mirror the most subtle and chic fashion looks of the year…we found tones of white, coral, natural green, sea-inspired blue, light brown and taupe…
Designers have introduced light, wearable chic tones for Spring/Summer, alongside the bold palette of colours that continue to encourage self-expression and unique style. Among the new proposals to note are fresh varieties of coral, a colour which fits perfectly with the timeless trends in fashion and a palette of white, neutrals and timeless classics.

Erkers1879 describe their lightweight Dutchtown sunglasses as comfortable, stylish and made to last. The Brown Crystal tone is an interesting alternative to more sombre, darker hues, introducing a delicate, and softer fashion-oriented look with the transparent translucent finish. – www.erkers1879.com
Green and blue tones and subtle varieties are fast evolving in the eyewear collections, with fresh mixes in fine acetate which offer a beautiful clarity and definition of colour, well suited to natural skin tones. RES/REI’s Spring Summer 2023 acetate frames are multi-laminates which explore combinations and sometimes many subtle tones in one single frame. www.resrei.com
The Spanish label Kaleos has introduced fresh green tones and variations of nude and taupe into their line for Spring/Summer – a close reflection of new fashion colours and a style mood that is minimal, clean and rooted in a timeless aesthetic for simple, pared down shapes. The neutral colours and taupes in eyewear tend to suit warm skin tones and hair colourings, but the obvious rules don’t always apply so it’s best to try on a variety of frames in the colour to find the best variation and combination for each unique complexion.
The Spencer frame by SALT. Optics is a good example of how the colour palette evolves for the season. The timeless Spencer frame is available in this pretty pinkish tone and taupe as well as a very light smokey grey. Find the frame at www.saltoptics.com
