STRIPE ALERT

Stripes are “in” this fall! Classic and subtle, stripes add a touch of colour to your child’s look. Whatever the style, we see them everywhere! Their graphic, colourful side leaves no one indifferent and promises to give a little pep to your child’s wardrobe.

OH-SO-SOFT PASTELS

Pastel colours are all the rage this season, and eyeglass designers are including them in all their frame collections for both adults and children. You can match these soft hues with neutral-coloured clothing to create an understated, timeless look.

AN EYEFUL OF DETAILS

Generally speaking, patterned frames are very popular with kids. Back in store this season: spotted and floral eyeglass frames. Eye-catching designs with bold lines or colourful stems are also in vogue. Also, many brands are now making unisex designs that complement any style!

AN ABUNDANCE OF COLOUR

When it comes to colour, there’s a shade out there for all tastes. Here at Doyle, we love translucent acetates with a natural look. But bold colours are always a hit with children and there are plenty to choose from in our kids’ collections. For a flamboyant look, opt for saturated colours such as red, navy or purple!

COMBINED TORTOISE SHELLS

Combined tortoise shell is another trend that you’ll see everywhere this season. This revamped classic is available in various shapes, colours and materials. The combined tortoise shell frames feature interesting shade combinations, as well as monochromatic variations with a retro touch! The Etnia Barcelona brand offers a gorgeous selection of these frame designs for adults and kids.

FEATHERWEIGHT METAL

Although many children’s glasses are made with acetate, eyeglass designers also make metal frames for kids. These offer a great fit since they can be adjusted, thanks to nose pads. Since the bridge of the nose is not yet fully developed in young children, nose pads offer a better fit. What’s more, metal frames are usually lightweight and very comfortable!

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH OUR JUNIOR PLAN?

When you purchase one full pair of eyeglasses (frames + antireflective lenses) for a child age 16 and under, get 25% off the total amount OR get a second pair of lenses at no extra cost. And that’s not all! Thanks to the Quebec government’s See Better to Succeed program, you can also get financial assistance for the purchase of your child’s eyeglasses.

We hope these tips will help you choose the perfect frames for your child. Don’t forget to book an eye exam to kick off the school year on the right foot!
