Staying true to the Heron Preston vision, these sunglasses incorporate the designer's signature 'Spirit Level.' In addition, an actual [functioning bubble level](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-sunglasses) – like those used by carpenters – is built right into the frame of glasses. Boasting a distinct fashion-forward design, these sunglasses certainly stand out in comparison to other designer shades. The large, UV-protective lenses are enclosed by the sharp edges of the frame, while the arms don Preston's striking orange coloring. The collection features three pairs of sunglasses with differing colorways: the Level 0 01(B) with black lenses, the Level 0 NY1 in a navy gradient, and the Level 0 C1 in [clear lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Workwear-inspired Eyewear:** Enterprising designers can tap into the trend of merging fashion and utility to create innovative eyewear that caters to professionals and enthusiasts alike. - **Multifunctional Accessories:** Designers can explore the market for multifunctional accessories that feature tools or gadgets, providing value-added propositions to customers. - **Bold, Customized Shades:** The rise of personalized fashion and bold, unique designs offers scope for eyewear manufacturers to create custom designs for customers seeking individuality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and luxury brands can create workwear-inspired eyewear to cater to fashion-conscious workers and enthusiasts. - **Eyewear:** Eyewear manufacturers can incorporate multifunctional features, such as built-in levels and tools, into their products to provide unique value propositions to customers. - **Construction:** Construction equipment manufacturers can explore the market for customized, multifunctional eyewear that cater to workers' needs and preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Eyewear Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-6.md) - [Whimsical Premium Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-collection.md) - [Advanced Co-Branded Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-x-mykita.md) - [Luxury Eyewear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-moncler.md) - [Bug-Like Avant-Garde Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-01.md) - [Special Edition Sunglasses Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waiting-for-the-sun-x-percival.md) - [Jewelry-Like Glasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-7.md) - [Transparent Crystal Sunglasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20.md) - [Bubble-Like Sunglasses Drop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-sunglasses.md)
