The fashion world can often seem difficult to decipher and predict. How do you know if what you're wearing is still on trend? How can you predict the future " it frames " to come next year? Mymonture gives you all the clues you need for a flawless look in 2017!

One thing's for sure: fashion isn't an exact science. Nevertheless, thanks to the predictions of the big names in fashion, we've managed to pinpoint some of the shapes that will undoubtedly be " must-haves " in 2017.

No gender" or unisex frames

Just as in ready-to-wear, unisex is one of the biggest trends of the moment, and will be even more so next year. Indeed, more and more brands are coming up with shapes that suit both men and women. Unisex frames are characterized by sober shapes and colors, enabling them to dress all types of faces.

Pantoscopic frames

Pantos... what? Behind this slightly complicated name lies one of the best-known shapes. It's an almost round shape, but with very slight angles. The fact that the frame is not completely round softens the shape and makes it less formal, while retaining the retro charm of a beautifully rounded frame. This shape has been popular for some years now, and will continue to please in 2017. We couldn't agree more!

Lozza frame

Wood or imitation wood frames

How could you go past frames in natural materials, especially wood? What could be more beautiful and natural than wood, that noble material? To be honest, very little. The only problem with wood is thatit has to fit the wearerperfectly, which can sometimes be a little tricky. But don't panic: brands have come up with stunningly detailed imitation wood frames that combine the charm of wood with the practicality of acetate(note: acetate is one of the main components used in the manufacture of so-called "plastic" frames, and is made from cotton, so its physical properties make it ideal for frame manufacture). This type of frame can be found at Crémieux, for example, which combines imitation wood with metal for an optimal aesthetic result

Butterfly frames

The butterfly shape, one of the most emblematic of the 60s and 70s, has made a comeback in recent years! Yes, the trend is nothing new, but it seems to becontinuing in 2017, thanks to the talent and imagination of the great designers, who are offering us ever more daring and creative models.

Double bridge frames

Historically, the double bridge was caused by the bridge of the frame, added to that of the sun clip that was added for protection from the sun. The trend has remained and is now part of the details that we like to find in certain frames. The double bridge also affirms the eyes and makes them more striking. You'll find this kind of frame at Paul & Joe, for example, notably on their aviator frames.

Minimalist frames

What could be more beautiful and pure than simplicity? Just as in ready-to-wear, the minimalist trend has been around for a few years now, and it looks like it's not going to end anytime soon. What better way to illustrate this than with a pair of rimless, slim-framed frames. Oakley offers frames whose elegance is matched only by their simplicity. Simple, yet effective.
