Tortoiseshell is on the hot trends list for both Spring/Summer 2013 and Fall/Winter 2013. In Fashion Week in New York in February, tortoiseshell sunglasses were shown with soft grays and black in coat, pant and sweater combinations. One of Pantone’s trendy neutrals for Spring/Summer 2013 is a soft, pale, peachy-tan called “Linen” which can be worn with tortoiseshell eyewear for awesome updated looks for vacation styles or office wear. We like to accessorize tortoiseshell glasses with a big, stylish tote bag in leather or straw.
