Earlier today we showed you a few true classics. There are many frames inspired by them but with a modern touch.

This week Bonocle will feed you with a lot of inspiration! Each day we will present a specific style of sunglasses, check it out!
Monday – Colorful!
Today we present colorful sunglasses. I think that everyone should have a colorful pair of sunglasses, to complement all these classic styles. A splash of color can really make difference. So why don’t you add some color this summer?

Bonocle recommend you to put on some color this summer!
Le Corbusier, pseudonym for Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, the famous French-Swiss architect and artist known for contibuting to what is called “Modern Architecture”. He was very loyal to one type of frame, in fact that type of glasses are called Le Corbusier or “Architect frames”.
This type of frame has lots of character, is bold and simple. A great feature is that even strong prescriptions look great in a round think frame like this. Frames inspired by the Le Corbusier frame:
Cutler And Gross 870
Cutler And Gross 1025
Epos Milano Oan
Oscar Magnuson Davide
Lindberg 1021
l.a. Eyeworks Pocket
Lately we’ve seen lots of matte acetate frames. This frosty texture adds an extra dimension to the frame and gives it a complete new look. It softens the dark colors and feels very comfortable against the skin. Take a look!
Oliver Peoples Wacks in Matte Red Havanna
Oliver Peoples Wacks in Sandalwood – you can clearly see the difference, right?
A few matte frames. Front to back: Theo Bonne in Matte Black, Oliver Peoples Wacks in Matte Red Havanna, Oliver Peoples Albert J in Matte Black and Cutler & Gross 1012 in Matt Dark Turtle.
Some eyewear brands really go all the way when it comes to cool design. Just look at these superfun microfiber cleaning cloths from Cutler And Gross, l.a. Eyeworks and Paul Smith Spectacles!
This makes cleaning smudged lenses way more fun. Happy cleaning!
