Summer 2013 Eyewear Trends from William Rast, Marciano, Guess, Candie's, Gant and Harley-Davidson

With fall season a few weeks away, it's a great time hit up those summer sales and stock up on accessories such as eyeglasses and sunglasses. William Rast, Marciano, Guess, Candie's, Gant and Harley-Davidson are some of the diverse fashion eyewear brands developed by Viva International Group develops. Here's a look at some of this summer's eyewear trends, including animal prints, color blocking, rhinestone accents and retro styles. William Rast is one of my favorite brands, especially when it comes to eyeglasses. My summer pick is WR 1069 in a two tone plum color, with an oval, cat-eye shape. This is more like a bordeaux/wine color to me, which is a popular color for fall. The WR 1069 is a classic style that can be worn all year round.

TC Charton Asian Fit Eyewear

At The Accessory Lounge at Style360 during New York Fashion Week, I met with designer Alexandra Peng of TC Charton Asian Fit Eyewear. TC Charton creates stylish and luxurious eyewear for Asians and people from many other ethnic backgrounds, addressing fit issues like a lower nose bridge or higher cheekbones.

TC Charton is now my go-to for sunglasses and prescription glasses. The fit on my TC Charton Crystal sunglasses are so comfortable and don't slide off of my face. They fit so well they feel like they are customized for my face! I just love the concept of eyewear designed to fit Asian characteristics. The eyewear is super chic, with many stylish frames to choose from.
