As the flowers bloom and the sun shines brighter, it’s time to refresh not just our wardrobes but also our eyewear collection. Spring is the perfect season to embrace new styles and trends, and what better way to do so than by exploring the latest frames and sales in eyewear? Whether you’re looking for a chic upgrade or a practical addition to your family’s eyewear arsenal, there’s something for everyone this season.
EMBRACING SPRING TRENDS
Spring brings with it a fresh wave of eyewear trends that effortlessly blend fashion and functionality. Here are some trends to watch out for:
Bold Colors: Say goodbye to muted tones and embrace vibrant hues that reflect the energy of spring. From electric blues to fiery reds and sunny yellows, bold colors are making a statement in eyewear this season.
Vintage-Inspired Frames: Retro never goes out of style, and this spring, vintage-inspired frames are making a comeback. Think oversized square frames, cat-eye shapes, and classic aviators with a modern twist. (Oppenheim)
Translucent Frames: Light and airy, translucent frames are perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your spring look. Whether in subtle pastel shades or clear acetate, these frames offer a contemporary yet versatile appeal.
Sporty Sunglasses: With outdoor activities in full swing, sporty sunglasses are a must-have for the whole family. Look for frames with polarized lenses, wraparound styles for added coverage, and lightweight materials for comfort during active pursuits.
EXPLORING SPRING SALES
In addition to exciting new trends, spring brings fantastic opportunities to score great deals on eyewear. Many optical office and stores offer seasonal sales and promotions, making it the perfect time to update your eyewear collection without breaking the bank. Keep an eye out for:
End-of-Season Clearance Sales: Optical boutiques often discount last season’s styles to make room for new inventory. Take advantage of these clearance sales to snag stylish frames at discounted prices. Since most new frames are released in March, April and May are popular times for sales of eyewear!
Spring Break Specials: Planning a getaway for spring break? Many eyewear retailers offer special promotions and discounts during this time, making it an ideal opportunity to invest in a stylish pair of sunglasses for the whole family. (Maui Jim!)
Exclusive Offers: Keep an eye out for exclusive spring sales and flash deals. Sign up for newsletters from your local eye doctor or follow your favorite brands on social media to stay updated on the latest promotions.
Bundle Deals: Most optical offices offer bundle deals for multiple purchases, allowing you to purchase multiple pairs of glasses at a discounted price. This is a great option when you are looking to update more than one pair of glasses like computer or sunglasses.
Conclusion:
As we welcome the warmth and brightness of spring, let’s embrace the opportunity to refresh our eyewear collection with the latest trends and sales. Whether you’re drawn to bold colors, vintage-inspired frames, or sporty sunglasses, there’s a style to suit every taste and need. Keep an eye out for spring sales and promotions, and don’t hesitate to treat yourself and your family to a stylish upgrade in eyewear. After all, seeing the world through trendy lenses is the perfect way to welcome the season in style.
