Flowers are not only popping up in our herbaceous borders, they’re turning up all over the High Street this season. Florals are big news for clothes, bags, shoes and accessories.  At the top end we’ve got Diane Von Furstenburg sending models down the runway in floaty florals, and for the mere mortals among us there are some really cute skirts at Topshop and good old Dorothy Perkins.  So what’s this got to do with eye wear?

Floral motifs have always been the perfect decoration for specs, adding a truly feminine detail to your glasses. Manufacturers are always looking out to add something to frames to spark our interest, and a bit of bling mixed with a dash of flower power really gets us girls going. (Some boys too but then each to their own!)
At the designer end of the market, some style Gods and Goddesses have always loved petal power. It’s a strong theme for Kenzo, Christian Dior and Miu Miu. It’s been a big fashion story for Chanel too – their rose encrusted jewellery is stunning, and as seen on Madonna, they’ve used it on their sunglasses and prescription frames too.

This look does filter down to all price ranges though – whether engraved or added on, flowers can be a simple or stunning trim on a frame temple or side. Check out TheInternetGlassesCompany.co.uk models Leicester 1959, Suffolk 1956 or York 2027 for some funky flower detail at a bargain price.
