Designers are dialing into these desires with
a focus not only on colour and materials, but
new contours and thrilling throwbacks.
Alternative/Plan “B” Eyewear’s new Staag
spectacles delivers on big, bold design with
the newest 14 models just released in the
collection including the SG-CLVE and the
SG-JACK frames.
“Those who are exceptionally confident in
their style will enjoy shapes from their youth
making a comeback, including butterflies and
cat eyes but with modern colour palettes and a
new sense of finesse,” says Slepian.
Baby Boomers love fashionable eyewear,
according to Paula Weissman of Modern
Optical. And Modern has many frames that
appeal to this demographic.
“Women appreciate the youthful effects of
cheerful colours, especially purples and blues,
as well as uplifting silhouettes such as soft cat-
eye and butterfly shapes,” she says.
