What’s The Latest In Eyewear Fashion?

Gone are the day of thinking glasses are nerdy or only for geeks. Glasses are now a great way to make a fashion statement or accessorise an outfit, with many designer brands available and plenty of options when it comes to shape, style, and colour.

A new pair of glasses is always a great way to refresh your look, so let’s take a look at the latest eyewear trends for 2025.

 

Most Popular Styles & Shapes

Cat-Eye

Cat-eye glasses offer a distinctly feminine silhouette and will never go out of style. Cat-eye glasses first rose in popularity thanks to old Hollywood glamour stars like Marilyn Monroe in the 50s – her character in ‘How To Marry A Millionaire’ wore classic cat-eye glasses with exaggerated corners.

Geometric cat-eye glasses are a big trend this year, they accentuate your personality and highlight the shape of your face. If you have a square-shaped face, geometric cat-eye glasses will add angles to your face which can be very flattering. If your face is round, you can create curves to define it.

Clear

Clear glasses frames are one of the most popular eyewear trends. Clear, oversized glasses can give a real trendy look – if you’re looking for the coolest style glasses for men and women, these are the ones.

Semi-translucent acetates are also being introduced in a wide range of colours creating a ‘milky’ look. This is most often seen in pastel tones such as baby pink, pale blue, and a butter-like yellow.

Transparent frames look good on virtually all face shapes and skin tones for both men and women. They are simple in themselves, making them neither too old fashioned nor too flashy in a crowd.

Nude

The millennial, dusted pink nude is the new glasses colour to reign supreme in 2025. This warm colour and a distinctive frame will promise that you never find yourself overlooked. A toned-down hue is easier to match with day-to-day outfits.

Vintage-Inspired Round 

Round frames are also making a comeback, combining classic elegance with modern freshness for a sleek, stylish look.

Round glasses are suited for square and rectangular-shaped faces. They can be mixed and matched with various outfits, starting from the business savvy to hipster sweaters and hats. A pair of oversized glasses is perfect for you if you want to be bold, whilst smaller frames are a bit more elegant.

Stylish round glasses for men in dark colours give a refined, academic, and masculine look.

Tortoiseshell 

Second only to clear frames, tortoiseshell glasses in unique patterns are your best option if you want to stay in tune with the current eyewear trends.

The classic tortoiseshell pattern is perfect for both formal and casual occasions. The colours can range from dark browns and blacks to golds and ambers.

There are so many colour palettes of this fashionable pattern that you will be sure to find the perfect frames for your skin tone and hair.

Prominent Rectangle

Rectangle frames are making a major comeback. Offering a refresh on the classic geometric shape you will see bevelled details, ombre fades, and chunky acetates all with a 90s minimalist twist.

The rectangle shape is versatile and flattering on a variety of face shapes, making it a go-to choice for many. Whether you choose a classic black or try out bolder designs, a prominent rectangle frame can complete any outfit.

Rectangle glasses can also make your face appear thinner; they tend to extend beyond the sides of a round face. They add dimension and elongate features.
