Thrill your customers with color,
from cool classics to bold statement hues
Color has power, and you have the power to help customers understand what a difference it can make in their lives, especially in eyewear: their most important accessory. Consider the sophistication of a classic tortoise, the statement-making ability of a bright red or orange, or the immediate fashion upgrade from a neon flash or two. Frame creators have defined 2015 as a year of bold tones, color-blocking and confident coordinated colors and prints, from catwalk favorites including pink and yellow to a choice of beautiful blues: indigo, cobalt or pastels. Easy updates in more muted tones can include Pantone’s color of the year, marsala; naturals like oatmeal; or a classic purple, flattering for many complexions. Of course, spring is the perfect time to try something new — and to suggest to clients that they might enjoy several pairs in various shades to complement their moods and their wardrobe. — CLODAGH NORTON
