"Products that give us a sense of optimism (evolution of dopamine dressing) are trending with playful designs, '90s/2000s revival, vibrant colorways, artsy executions, digital hues, sparkles… We’re planning on seeing lots of colorful monochrome transparencies in eyewear." — Feldman

"Metal frames are back, silver especially. Neutral color palette, sheer skin tone silhouettes, pastels, nature-inspired materials/patterns, classic shapes, smart details, comfortable yet luxurious. The opposite end of the spectrum from the euphoric trend story. These styles are updates on staples and wonderfully familiar. Big return of double bridge styles." — Feldman

"The blending realms of fashion and sport will trudge forward into 2023, and we will continue to see the outdoors as a major influence in style and colors for eyewear. As sporty wrap frames increasingly become an everyday accessory, many variations enter the mainstream. Utilizing softer or bolder color palettes, more fluid silhouettes, embellishments, tinted lenses, and transparent frames. Luxe wraps will maintain trending power, and we will continue to see new variations on the trend, playing on construction, size, and lens. Soft mirror lenses are definitely up-trending thanks to this active aesthetic." — Feldman
