Eyewear trend #1: Crystal clear
Forget classic black or bold colours—this look is all about being bright and clear. Frame shapes can range from petite and round to chunky and bold. Some have subtle colours, such as watery blue, slipper pink or silver grey, making the frame even more jewel-like. No matter what you choose, a clear frame helps enhance your style.
Eyewear trend #2: Trendy tortoiseshell
Second only to clear frames, tortoiseshell glasses in unique patterns and colours (not just classic brown) will bring your look bang up to date.
Eyewear trend #3: Hip to be square
Square lenses are always eye-catching. This year’s silhouette borrows from the retro-vintage vibe with oversized proportions, thick frames and a choice of true square or gently rounded shapes.
Eyewear trend #4: Retro flat top aviators
Who doesn’t love the enduring aviator silhouette? Give a subtle (or not-so-subtle) nod to the shiny metal throwbacks from the days of Top Gun or look out for the acetate shapes that are so hot right now.
Eyewear trend #5: Spin me round
Embrace your inner Harry Potter with classic, round metal frames or update your look by combining the flat top silhouette with round lenses and clear or updated tortoiseshell frames.
Our advice: try them all and experiment with different colours. Fashion is fun, after all.
