E YEWEAR TRENDS FOR FALL 2009 MEN’S TRENDS FOR FALL 2009 Looking for the latest in men’s eyewear this fall? Check out what’s new in eyeglasses and sunglasses with the top trend picks from Eyecessorize.
Classic Comeback Everything old is new again, especially for men’s fall eyewear. Bold, retro looks are so “right now” in thick round and angular shapes. Black, ivory and the ever-classic tortoise are color must-haves, with two-toned and mosaic style touches making an entrance as fun alternatives. Classic aviator and wayfarer shapes round out this clean look.
Harve Bernard, HB575 by Zimco Optics
Calvin Klein Collection Classics, 7107 by Marchon Eyewear
Costa Del Mar, Caballito by Costa Del Mar
Smith Optics, Breakbeat by Smith Optics
ActionEyz, Bravo by Cliff Weil
Cole Haan, CH670 by ClearVision Optical
Converse Heritage Collection, Disobedience by REM Eyewear
TITANflex, 820537 by BBH Eyewear
Mix and match classic eyewear looks with patchwork and Fair Isle patterns, toggle coats, plaids, chunky scarves or sharply tailored blazers for a pulledtogether casual look.
Flying High Navigators take flight this fall as the season’s pick for aviation-inspired eyewear. With a classic style, much like the aviator, navigators are square and sleek with a slim frame that can appear rimless. The aviator remains a hot item this fall in both traditional and updated styles, in particular, mirrored and dark-tinted lenses that add a Maverick flair. Wear these high-flying frames with belted trenches, turtlenecks in sumptuous fabrics and velvet, leather or double-breasted blazers.

E YEWEAR TRENDS FOR FALL 2009 Sci-Fi Revival A futuristic tone rang out from the runway this fall as men’s eyewear takes a glimpse into tomorrow. Frames are thicker and bolder than ever, with well-defined squares taking the spotlight as the newest musthave shape. Bold colors and strong brow lines add a mod vibe, while metal accents, wraparounds and shield styles with blacked out lenses reflect a look straight off the starship.

WOMEN’S TRENDS FOR FALL 2009 This season eyewear revisits the past and takes a glimpse into the future. From classic tortoise eyeglasses to ultra-bold sunglasses, options abound for women this fall.
Feminine Mystique Mystery is in the eyes this fall, as eyewear combines dark and classic styling for an elusive appeal. Frames in metal or deep, rich hues with gradient or dark lenses evoke intrigue while tortoise frames add modern interest to a classic look. Drama and luxury are intensified with subtle details like leather or metal accents on plastic or acetate frames. Create a captivating look by pairing eyewear with a tailored, feminine silhouette of a pencil skirt and voluminous jacket cinched at the waist.

E YEWEAR TRENDS FOR FALL 2009 Retro Redux Women’s eyewear pays homage to the past this fall as retro and vintageinspired frames take center stage. Eighties’ Wayfarers and shields are prevalent, providing a funky edge to this retro revitalization. Oversized round and square frames turn up in translucents, two-tones and light hues. Gradient and color-tinted lenses, as well as low-set temples, also add a modern twist to the coveted styles of the past.

To make a statement, wear frames with bright colors, a belted disco frock or a power suit with strong and exaggerated shoulders.
Rocker Chic This fall eyewear takes its cue from heavy metal rockers with metallic and leather details. Embellished temples and contrasting browlines take futuristic angular shapes and shields up a notch. Rimless or semi-rimless frames and thick goggles are ultra modern, while mirrored lenses on metal frames exude a tough girl look. Pair caped dresses accented by hardware and contrasting colors with edgy frames and over-the-knee bandage boots to enhance this new wave rocker trend.

A Survival Guide for the Show YOU’RE AT THE SHOW, surrounded by acres of frames, the latest in technology, flash and excitement. The temptation is to stop, fascinated by the displays of frames, and sign up for all the latest and greatest ... but wait! You’ve only been there a few hours, and already you’ve got more frames coming than room to store them. It is easy to be overcome by the plethora of frames presented by an ever–increasing number of suppliers and manufacturers. To take full advantage of the limited time you have, a little planning is essential. Before going out onto the show floor, think about the type of patient you have coming into your practice. Remember, you’re looking at frames for them, not for yourself, and while it is true you need to be excited over any new product, the style must fit into your demographics. Before starting, check over a map of the exhibitors, marking locations of must–see exhibits. Don’t forget to visit the booths of distributors who already service you. Often they will have frames on display you haven’t yet seen, and if you are serviced by one of their reps, you can arrange for an in–office review. Whenever possible, it’s better to expand a current line, or take on
an extra line from the same rep, than to open a new account with a distributor who may have similar frames. If you’ve decided you need to expand in some categories, for instance low–end and high–end frames, plan on visiting those distributors first. Take your time to look through the collections and get whatever pamphlets they might offer. Make notes on the pamphlets, and after you’ve visited your list of exhibitors get away from the hall and go through your material ... preferably that evening in your motel room. Weed through the collections that don’t fit your demographics or style, then re–visit the booths, perhaps making appointments to speak with a representative. Unless you are very sure the collection is going to fit your marketing strategy, it is best not to make a buying decision at the exhibit. Remember, the displays are set up to set–off the collections in their best light, you will probably be dealing with an upper–level sales manager, and the excitement is contagious. While they might offer special savings, the caveat still applies: A sale is no bargain if you don’t need the item being sold! At the same time, though, there are great deals to be made,
and if the collection fits, now might very well be the best time to purchase. Take some time to look over styles you may not have thought to stock and remain open–minded. Pay attention to the predominate styles. Remember you are in the style business, and at the show you’re surrounded by the eminent designers in the industry. One of the hidden benefits of looking through the various exhibits is to get an idea on how to best display your frames. Pay attention to the lighting they use: what type of bulb seems best to bring out the sparkle? What backgrounds are used to keep the frames out front and not hidden by background noise? Are the frames displayed on special surfaces, such as cloths or mirrors? Would that work in your dispensary? If you find a display that is particularly appealing, make note of it and think about setting up a similar display, perhaps to showcase that new high–end line you just bought. Enjoy your time at the show, but remember, despite all the fun and excitement, it is serious business.
