Specifics: Six new shapes, two feminine, one masculine and three unisex, styles 1709-1714. All in six colors each.

The front colors are very subtle and quite masculine; some feature three layers with a thicker layer in the middle for more intense color. The distinct male look of the collection is emphasized by the subtle details of the square rivets placed on both the front and temples.
