There are some things that fit together so perfectly.
It could be an unexpected pairing that just works, like kettle corn, salty and sweet or one thing that you cannot think of without the other, fall and pumpkin spice.
When I started working as an Optician nearly a decade ago, tortoiseshell frames with pops of turquoise were a popular color combination. Something that could have very well been a trend “du moment”, has instead withstood the test of time. Tortoiseshell and shades of turquoise, aqua and teal are a perfect pairing and an enduring color combination that is ever present and on trend season after season in eyewear. The rich, neutral pattern of tortoise has depth and dimension, while the addition of teal or turquoise adds a colorful pop and visual interest.
Somethings also fit together perfectly in the physical sense. These cats eye frames by LAMARCA are a stunning example of that. A manufacturing marvel, the crisp lines between the different acetates in the Fusioni 68 are created by treating the frame like a puzzle.
The LAMARCA “Fusioni” frame collection is made using a complex and timely process. Each piece of acetate is precisely pieced and bonded together with extreme care. Once the pieces have set the frame is shaped into the final product.
My eye was immediately caught by this striking, large cats eye. The angular lines of this frame are perfectly offset with the soft swoop of the bridge, giving the frame a dramatic lift to enhance facial features.
The “Fusioni 68” is comprised of four different types of acetate.
Semi translucent turquoise, with a geometric pattern and soft sparkle
A rich, dense, creamy acetate
Deep mahogany spots of tortoise pattern in a base of turquoise
Brown, amber with the occasional speckle of teal in the tortoiseshell of the temples
Combined together, all without being the least bit busy or overwhelming on the face of the wearer.
As fall beckons a wardrobe shift into neutral hues and darker colors, the “Fusioni 68” frame compliments the pallet, adding a pop of color, while matching the earthy tones through the tortoiseshell. The buttons on this trench coat, also tortoiseshell, inspired the choice of eyewear for my #eyestyleOOTD. With the creamy, khaki color of this classic trench coat, not too heavy in weight, a timeless wardrobe staple, created the perfect canvas for my glasses to take focus and resist the early fall chill in the air.
