NYFW 2012 Shades

We've compiled a list of our favorite new sunglasses trends, taken straight from the New York Fashion Week runways. Which ones will you be sporting this Spring?

It's all about neutral frames outlining big dark shapes. These will look great when you're hitting the beach in a red striped bikini and big floppy hat.

We can't enough of these vintage shapes that speak to the likes of the Beatles and Bridgette Bardot. The perfect pair will take you right into Summer.

Editor Pick: Spring into Style

The transition from Winter to Spring should be a smooth transformation: De-layering your daily uniform one week, switching out a bulky coat for lighter wool one the next,  while the ankle height of your shoe gradually falls to the ground every few days. We've got the perfect pair of sunglasses to make this evolution to sunnier days even more seamless. Introducing, Gold & Wood's H24 model.

These sunglasses are the perfect shade of dark for a bright, overcast day and those sunny days you thought would never come, last winter

                          
They're eternally cool with a spin on the classic-cut rims. The wood accents make these shades a fashionable accessory--playing down those pastel spring hues we saw at New York Fashion Week. Gold & Wood's H24 will take you right into Summer, pairing in the chicest manner with crisp whites on the beach.

Get yours before the word gets out! And word has it, Tom Cruise, sported them in Mission Impossible 4.

PS: We thought this Gold & Wood video was pretty stellar, so leaving it with you--Enjoy!

Geek Glasses Trend Alert

I visited The Sartorialist this morning--a fantastic street-style blog, named the most influential fashion blog by TIME magazine--and noticed a slue of geek glasses. So, this just in: Geek glasses are seriously cool. They make a huge statement and can transform anything from a classic outfit of jeans and a white tee, to a LBD (that's little black dress for all of you men out there). The picture below shows how an outfit, easily worn out at night, is day-time wear with the addition of these dark frames.


I am totally digging these sexy looks! Think about these the next time you're going out on the town, you will turn heads.


And gentlemen, this is a trend for you too. Make the ladies swoon.



Check out the looks on The Sartorialist, they're sure to geek you out!
