As another summer comes to an end and our wardrobes change with the season, it’s only fitting to change our eyewear collection as well, right? Well, we at Spectacle think so and we have just the right fall trends for you!
Dressing accordingly to the cool fall breeze is key and that includes keeping your eyes protected. A neat new fall trend that designer Thom Browne brought back to the eyewear industry is the look of “blinders” or “side cups”.
Thom Browne - TB-010A-T-56 & TB-010B-T-56

| The TB-010A-T-56 |
This unique and handsome Thom Browne frame is best fitted for any man, on any occasion and is guaranteed to flow naturally not only with the contours of your jawline, but fall attire as a whole. This handcrafted black acetate sunglass, paired with acetate temples, stainless cables and brown or white leather side cups is definitely a must-have. The custom titanium three-barrel hinge along with anti-reflective, UV protective lens coatings is part of the perfect package for the fall season.

What are the two perfect “go to” fall frames, you ask? TheSoloist ‘Teardrop’ and ‘Round’ are two frames that Oliver Peoples features in their 2012 season collaboration with TheSoloist Japan designer, Takahiro Miyashita. TheSoloist pursues a vintage-inspired aesthetic with close attention to detail and craftsmanship that will never go unnoticed. You can’t go wrong with its sleek, clean-cut, original, vintage hybrid style.
TheSoloist Teardrop plays on the original aviator shape with acetate temples and top-bar; it also features filigree detailing and contrasting colour combinations. Spectacle carries all four colour options along with polarized glass lenses. TheSoloist Teardrop frame is the ideal sunglass to compliment its snazzy optical partner!
TheSoloist Round continues the vintage look and feel with a hybrid feature of filigree metal eyewire paired with acetate temples and top-bar. The contrasting feel of metal and acetate along with the contrasting colours of the plastic, creates a unique, simplistic beauty to this frame. Spectacle carries all three colour combinations along with its custom fit vintage-inspired lenses.
Mosley Tribes x Crooks & Castles - Castellano

| The Castellano |
Mosley Tribes and Crooks & Castles have come together once again to commemorate The Crook’s 10th Year Anniversary. To celebrate its decade milestone, Spectacle was pleased to re-release the Castellano frames!
Spectacle carries both limited edition colourways of the Castellano frames in a modern matte black acetate with brushed gold finished detailing and grey gradient lenses. The other colour is a vintage-inspired tortoise shell acetate with brushed gold detailing and spice brown gradient lenses. Both makes will have a custom 10-year anniversary stamping inside the frame temples, accompanied by the Mosley Tribes case and a custom limited edition cleaning cloth.
