Top trend: Asymmetric eyewear

Asymmetrical eyewear is not a new concept, is currently at the forefront of fashion courtesy of an array of new styles.

‘Wonk,’ Catch London

The box-office hit Wonka has brought attention to asymmetric frames thanks to ‘Wonk,’ Tom Davies’ crystal blue design which is part of his latest collaboration with Warner Bros.  

'Half print,’ Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana’s ‘Half print’ sunglasses have different pattern detail on each side in a more subtle nod to the trend, inspired by the brand’s Sicilian DNA. 

'OA2115C2,’ Outspoken

Outspoken’s eyewear collection has always celebrated the quirky and unusual. In an array of colourways, their asymmetrical style is an attainable option to embrace the trend.
