Sport These Specs For Your Best Look in 2023

Rock star Elton John was a trailblazer back in the 1970s when it came to expressing himself with his outrageous eyewear. The Rocket Man knew that there wasn’t a better accessory that updates your style as quickly and as effectively as a pair—or in Elton’s case, a few dozen pairs—of new frames. 

Sophisticated specs are essentials in every fashionista’s wardrobe. Heck—even trendsetters who don’t need eyeglasses for vision correction have a blast wearing fun frames with non-prescription lenses. Style hounds love to choose from numerous designs and colors. A collection of eyeglasses injects fun into your daily style. 

Whether you have them with or without prescription lenses, the offices of Hiawassee can deck you out in the most modern frames to give you the exact look you want! 

Take a look at what’s trending this year: 

• Tinted lenses are making a comeback! You’ll see them in yellow, orange and red. 
• Circle-round frames in all sizes are also circling back. (Think John Denver.) 
• We can attribute the popularity of aviator sunglasses to Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, the hotshot fighter pilot who made “Top Gun: Maverick” 2022’s top-grossing movie. 
• The harlequin shape is on this year’s fast track. Formerly called cat-eye glasses, these beauties were inspired by harlequin masks. 
• Oversized square frames are reminiscent of the 1970s and ’80s.
• Thin, lightweight metal settings will appeal to people who want to minimize the look and feel of wearing glasses.
• Simulated-wood frames give off an earthy feel.
