Colour is key for kids and teens

Just in time for the summer holidays and the subsequent new school term, French eyewear producer JF Rey has released a new collection of ophthalmic frames for children and teenagers.

Styles are aimed at four to 16-year-olds, with styles, shapes and colours specifically adapted to each age group: four to six years, six to eight, eight to 12 and 12 to 16 years.

Bright, punchy colours for four to eight-year-olds and more classic, sober colours like black, dark tortoiseshell and blue shades for older children.

Girl’s model Soleil is a cute oval style constructed from chunky acetate and sporting a mottled pink hue.

With a striated acetate front with a panto silhouette, the Prince style (below) is a cool model for young male patients.
