Eyewear trends to look out for in 2021
At Jumbo Shrimp, style is just as important to us as quality. As much as we want your specs to last you, we also want you to love them! Our collection has been curated with this in mind, so you can align with trends at an affordable price - just what you wanted to hear, right?
Needing prescription glasses can be a pain, especially to your bank account. But don’t worry: we heard your cries. We know you are sick of buying cheap glasses that end up breaking after a few months, and it's worse if you’ve given up on your favourite styles for the lower price tag! At Jumbo Shrimp, you won’t need to make that sacrifice. Our in-house optical team and design team work side-by-side to make sure your lenses are both up to scratch and never behind trends.
Two-Tone
Why settle for one colour for your frames? Pick two! Not only does the two-tone allow you to mix colours, but it's a trend increasing in popularity over the last few years. For a monochromatic two-tone, try our black and white Butterfly frame. If you're looking for something a little more fun, the Butterfly also comes in a white and multicoloured contrast: perfect for summer.
Pastels
Pastel frames are another must-have this season, especially when paired with a translucent frame. With brands using pastels as the focus for their summer collections this year, we knew our pastel frames (particularly the Foureye) would prove popular! The subtle pastel colouring complements many skin tones, adding injecting some fun without being too distracting.
Rounded
When you think of round frames, Harry Potter might spring to mind, but he was ahead of this trend well before we realised we wanted to wear a round pair too! Geek-chic is back in fashion and that always means a rounded pair of glasses. Try our Torpedo frame for a rounded Havana or go for something a little bolder with our rounded two-tone Manta.
Geometric
Geometric specs are a great way to add something different to your glasses collection. Our Butterfly frame combines two-tone colouring with the contemporary, geometric model: perfect for a bold look.
Blue Light
Blue Light lenses are one of those positive trends finally making wearing glasses look ‘cool’. You don’t have to ‘need’ a prescription anymore to wear glasses. In fact, we should all be wearing blue light lenses if we spend a lot of time in front of a digital screen and these lenses are perfect for computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones and TV screens. To be honest... that's all of us! Blue light glasses are also known as computer glasses, blue-blocking glasses and blue control glasses. Essentially, these lenses are designed to emit the blue-violet light that comes from our digital screens. Overexposure to this light can cause eye strain, dry eyes, disruption in sleep, headaches, mental fatigue and watering eyes. Luckily, at Jumbo Shrimp you can pick your favourite eyewear from our collection then add your blue light lenses via the prescription process!
