Ah, sweater weather, when the transitory nature of seasons calls for the coziest wardrobe of the year. Cold-weather fashion provides plenty of opportunities to experiment with bolder styles, from wearing blazing jewel tones to match the foliage to festive patterns during the holiday months.
Accessory-wise, Pair Eyewear’s magnetic top frames are a fantastic way to mix up your look. Let patterns and colors take center stage on your glasses, or opt for neutrals to complement all your snuggly knits with the top frames ahead.
1. The Chocolate
Tragically inedible but incredibly fashionable.
This reddish brown is deliciously autumnal but equally suited to winter. Think tree bark, senescent leaves, hot chocolate, and holiday candy. Grab this evocative neutral to wear with colorful, detailed sweaters like Fair Isles, Mariuses, and Argyles.
2. The Tortoise
Who wore it better: you or Churchill?
Tortoiseshell: for when you need to go neutral but have some kind of vendetta against solid colors. Popularized by social elites in the 1920s, this timeless pattern is, as of the ‘70s, no longer made of actual tortoise shells and boasts year-round wearability. The speckled blend of earthy browns and yellows goes with everything and looks good on everyone.
3. The Harvest Tortoise
A little tortie never hurt nobody.
Oops, more brown and tortoiseshell top frames, but this time with a vivid, flame-like gradient that sets it apart from the first two! Pair this blend of neutral and bold against a white or creamy beige top to make them truly pop.
4. The Teal to Espresso Gradient
Don't worry, this pair of frames is caffeine-free.
You can’t go wrong with a gradient of teal and medium-to-dark browns. This classic combo adds warmth to wintry whites, grays, and blacks and is understated enough to function as a neutral with more adventurous knits.
5. The Silver Fractals
This would also make a really cool band name.
What’s this? A departure from earth-toned neutrals? You can still find these colors in nature, though: the whites and grays of ice and stone, just much cleaner and sparklier—definitely a choice look for New Year's Eve.
6. The Tahitian Pearlescent
A subdued top frame, and maybe the title of Wes Anderson’s next film?
Darker and subtler than the previous, these top frames resemble smoke on a cold winter’s night. They’re a little tortoiseshell-like and a great go-to neutral if you prefer blacks and grays to browns and beiges.
7. The Silver Reflective Sun Top
Fight the glare in sunny, snowy conditions.
As the days grow shorter and darker, don’t forget to go outside and soak up what Vitamin D you can. While you’re at it, keep those peepers safe behind these cool, icy-silver lenses. They’re polarized, UVA and UVB-blocking, and oh-so-easy to pop over your glasses when you forget (or lose) your prescription shades.
8. The Pine to Garnet Gradient
Color wheel opposites attract.
These holiday-colored top frames are festive without tackiness and bold without excess. Best of all, they won’t outshine your favorite holiday sweaters. They’ll just enhance them.
9. The White
Stand out from the crowd with a retro spectacle.
Snowy whites denote classic, elegant simplicity. From being worn by iconic celebrities like Audrey Hepburn to rock stars like Kurt Cobain, white frames are a statement look that have been embraced throughout generations.
10. The Fairisle Snowflakes
Finally, a sweater for your face.
Peppermint-colored and cute as a button, these top frames, inspired by the classic Scottish knitting technique, couldn't not make our list. Fair Isle sweaters are super trendy right now, but their gorgeous, multicolored patterns aren’t restricted to apparel.
