As the #1 sunglass supplier to the stars, SOLSTICE has identified the hottest new trends for the spring/summer season.  Here is what’s expected to get the temperature rising: 
• High Shine – Mirror, mirror on the wall, whose wearing the sexiest shades of all?  Mirror-like materials with metallic shine leave viewers on the runway wanting more.  When the sun is shining or the camera is flashing, sunwear returns the favor!  “High Shine” is a flash of the future with its sleek high-tech designs accompanied by the glass-like shine of metal and colorful plastics.  “High Shine” shades can be found by designers Giorgio Armani, Jimmy Choo and Emporio Armani.
• Stealth Wealth – Ultra-luxurious jet setters know that confidence is all about how you wear it, not who you wear.  “Stealth Wealth” styles offer minimalistic logos or iconic designer brand embellishments known only to those “in the know” or for those opting to fly under the radar.  Styles from Gucci, Hugo Boss, Bottega Veneta and Boucheron illustrate this chic look. 
• Rainforest – Welcome to a steamy new direction in sunwear. “Rainforest” styles are for those looking for lush, imaginative designs inspired by the colorful foliage and wooden textures of the rain forest.  Rich plums, luscious greens, deep blues and earthy browns encompass the true look of the rainforest along with styles with wooden accents.  Styles by Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs give a first-class look at Paradise. 
• Modern Vintage – Revitalized, renewed and refreshed, traditional favorites are back and better than ever with a modern twist!  “Modern Vintage” inspired by classic looks with sophisticated styles like wayfarers, aviators and cat-eye shapes provide a view with déjà vu.  Designers offering a look back at the future in sunwear include YSL, Kate Spade, Juicy Couture and Diesel. 
• Be Jeweled – Don’t be afraid to shine in a pair of shades with some detail. More than simple decoration, stones, crystals and studs make a bold statement in sunwear.  Chunky and hard-edged, or delicate and refined, the effect is 3D and the look is sure to make heads turn.  Prepare to be dazzled by the new jeweled styles.  Styles by designers Dior, Valentino, Gucci and Marc by Marc Jacobs bling out the beauty in everyone.
