SAN ANTONIO (September 15, 2015) – This fall, Visionworks and visionworks.com tempts customers

with bold, unexpected colors and patterns, as well as fashionable and affordable frames for all face

shapes. Fall is typically a season of rich hues, luxurious textures and eyewear is no exception – the

eyewear retailer offers fashionable and affordable eyewear and sunglasses to keep customers stylish

and chic as the colder weather rolls in.

“Fall is a fabulous time of year to update your eyewear. When transitioning your wardrobe to include

the season’s new color palate, adding a new pair of frames is an easy and affordable way to update and

refresh your look,” said Sherry Lay, Visionworks’ EVP/Chief Merchandising Officer. “From unexpected

pops of color to classic styles, we are confident we have a style our customers will fall in love with this

Visionworks is excited to expand its offering of designer frames nationwide to include Nine West and

Anne Klein. Additionally, the company has added Diane von Furstenberg, Just Cavalli, and Lacoste to

even more locations throughout the U.S. “At Visionworks, we are proud to offer the widest selection of

frames and lenses in the industry,” said Jim Eisen, president of Visionworks and CEO of HVHC. “Our

recent expansion of designer frame collections will provide our customers with an even greater variety

of colors and shapes to choose from to help them become ‘A Better You’.”

Visionworks Top Fashion Trends for Fall 2015:

For the Ladies:

 QUIRKY COLOR BLOCKING – Unexpected asymmetry, gradient temples, bold brow emphasis and

temple tips create new areas of interest via playful color blocking for women’s frames. This

update is a fun twist on the typical color block trend.

 FLAT TOP – The sharp flat top trend emphasizes the brow with an exaggerated straight edge for

men. Partnered with both squared and round bottoms, this trend gives a dramatic update on

staple shapes.

 ROUNDS – The round trend is key across both optical and sunglass categories with modern

updates on vintage inspired silhouettes as the driving force. Thicker frames provide a significant

re-style, while natural materials in bold monochromatic tones create a directional styling

statement.

 MARBELED EFFECT – Graphic tortoiseshell is animated with color and shadows, creating a

marbleized effect reminiscent of 1930’s Art Deco surfaces. Semi-transparent surfaces create an

artistic blend that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of modern tortoiseshell.

 STATEMENT PLASTIC SUNS—Eyes need UV protection, even during the fall and winter when the

sun isn’t always top of mind. This season plastics have been given a much-needed update.

Natural elements or marbleized tortoise effects give classic silhouettes, such as a club master or

wayfarer evolution.

At its more than 660 locations nationwide, Visionworks maintains a large selection of eyewear to

promote healthy sight such as UV-treated lenses, polycarbonate impact-resistant lenses and flexible

frames. To learn more about Visionworks, visit www.visionworks.com and use the store locator to find a

See the world – minus the glare, on the road or off – with Harley-Davidson signature eyewear.   These frames were actually my favorites as I got a very nice eyeglass frame and stylish sunglass frame.  I wasn’t aware that Harley-Davidson had such nice frames and definitely worth a try.

Nike Optical includes frame designs that are durable, flexible and lightweight while they still retain shape, perfect for a busy lifestyle.  I tried one of their casual plastic frames.

Gant eyewear combines its American East Coast heritage with a modern high-quality European touch.

Technolite frames are made from plastic polymer – or plastic titanium – which makes for super lightweight, flexible, strong frames that are extremely comfortable to wear.  These are the most lightweight and the flexi frames can be bent and are very comfortable.
