WHAT: There’s a “new” neutral out there this season and Style.Pages thinks it’s likely to become a standard. The color, which works with so many skin tones, is flattering, feminine and a breath of fresh air from heavier tones and bright colors. Interpreted in mixes of solid and translucent or clear, it is just as prevalent among metals as acetates or thin-gauge plastics. Blush is being featured in suns as well as optical frames, in traditional classic shapes or as a way to enliven fashion-forward pieces.

WHAT: This season’s optical eyewear choices for kids make the most of both inside and outside surfaces to achieve print and pattern treatments to amp up back-to-school fashions. New accessories often use transfer prints or appliques combined with contemporary shapes. The treatments often take the place of logos to communicate about a brand’s signature details and licensed characters’ symbols and insignias.

For many young students, eyewear is an essential piece of the back-to-school puzzle.
