Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and this feature about 6 Eyewear Trends Every Glasses Wearer Should Know About.
Eyeglasses are an everyday necessity for many people around the world, so it makes sense that they want them to be stylish too. A well-chosen pair of glasses can be so much more than merely functional -they can make a statement, or they can add a touch of sophistication or colour to an outfit.
Here are some eyewear trends to have on your radar and some great ways to wear these versatile and often necessary accessories.
6 Eyewear Trends Every Glasses Wearer Should Know About
Fashion meets function when it comes to eyewear. Glasses have evolved beyond just a practical accessory—they’re a key part of personal style. Whether you’re a minimalist, a maximalist, or somewhere in between, there’s a trend for everyone. Here are six eyewear trends that every glasses wearer should keep on their radar.
1. Simple oval frames
This style plays into what the internet has dubbed the ‘hot-girl librarian’ aesthetic. A simple pair of wide oval-shaped glasses are perfect for achieving a look that says that you’re smart, bookish, yet still stylish.
This shape is also great for sliding down your nose a little and peering intimidatingly over the top of the frames.
2: Thick black frames
This is a style that can be casual, formal, and everything in between. In fact, it can go with just about everything. This is what you should choose if you’re looking for a hassle-free pair of glasses that will look good whether you’re in the boardroom or enjoying a night out.
3. Prism lenses
Not all trends in glasses are related to fashion. Prism lenses are a case in point. These are lenses which contain a light-refracting prism that makes sure light enters your eyes optimally, simultaneously correcting your eyesight in the present while also giving your eye muscles a bit of a workout so that your vision gets better, or at least deteriorates less slowly, over time. You can find prism lenses at Microprism Vision and other vendors, and you can get them made to fit your existing frames.
4. Tortoiseshell
These go in and out of style a little more than black frames, but tortoiseshell glasses have been around for about 100 years and they keep coming back again and again. The pretty pattern works with all shapes and is popular in both casual and formal situations.
5. Wire aviators
Aviators have long been one of the most popular styles of sunglasses, and they’re now gaining popularity as a style for eyeglasses too.
A pair with thin metal frames can look great in many colours, including silver, gold, rose gold, and black.
6. Circle rims
While not new, round metal frames are enjoying a major comeback, thanks to their timeless appeal and association with intellectual style. Often referred to as “Harry Potter” or “John Lennon” glasses, these minimalist frames suit a variety of face shapes and lend a retro yet modern vibe.
Circle metal rims often come in gold, silver, or bronze finishes, making them versatile for both casual and formal settings. Many brands are also giving them contemporary updates with dual-tone designs or subtle engravings on the temples.
This is another good style for achieving that sophisticated, intelligent look, and it suits just about everybody.
