Trends X Kids
- By Rossella Marcazzan
While in recent years there has been a noticeable increase in vision problems among children, it is undeniable that there’s also been a clear shift in how kids’ eyewear is perceived. Glasses are no longer seen as purely functional; they’ve become a real part of little one’s personal style. This trend has led more and more brands – in recent years – to expand their lines with fun, colourful collections designed specifically for smaller faces. Although comfort, resistance and durability, UV protection, adaptability and adjustability are crucial drivers when choosing glasses, the aesthetic aspect is equally important. While parents want their children to feel confident and happy wearing glasses, kids look for styles that make them feel like protagonists and teens want to look cool. Bright colours, bold shapes and creative designs are among the most appreciated elements. The options are endless: from rounded frames in pastel tones to statement styles with neon inserts or metallic finishes to designs inspired by timeless classics worn by adults. The children’s eyewear market has clearly evolved, moving from a pure functionality-choice to a perfect fusion of comfort, performance and style, giving life to collections that make eyewear a standout element in every child’s look.
