TAKE CUES FROM THE HUES

TOP HUES FOR AUTUMN/WINTER 2022/2023

From pop pinks to subdued blues, the top tints for the upcoming season offer a much-needed refresh.

“As we move forward into an environment filled with contradiction, hues for autumn/winter 2022/2023 enable consumers to move fluidly between a range of contrasting shades, allowing them to spontaneously express who they are and how they feel on any given day,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.

To help your patients and practice get on board, EB scoured recent runways and new eyewear collections for the hues du jour.
