Standout Eyewear Trend 2023 #2

This is the second in a series of three posts looking at the upcoming eyewear trends for 2023. I'm passionate about beautiful eyewear and as an eyewear columnist and Company Ambassador for MAC Eyewear, I need to keep my finger on the fashion pulse so we know what to look forward to in the new season.  

 

Three distinct trends are emerging for the new season. Here, I'm taking at look at the second of those trends.  

 

This trend describes eyewear with a warm, natural palette influenced by nostalgia, nature, comfort and craftsmanship. It is cosy, soft, romantic, sentimental, vintage, floral, bohemian. These could almost look like vintage spectacles with a story to tell.  

 

Coco Song's Eyes in Wonderland epitomise this gentlest of trends with their gorgeously feminine eyewear and imagery. Think floral tea dresses with knitted socks and a cosy cardigan. Designed for the younger wearer, these frames are lightweight and delicate with natural elements such as silks, dried flowers and feathers in transparent, crystaline and pearlescent finishes.
