2025 EYEGLASSES TRENDS

OVERSIZED FRAMES

Oversized frames are back for both glasses and sunglasses. This glam look offers face-shielding protection for the eyes in a timeless yet on-trend style. Feel confident and protected while rocking a range of looks from 1970s chic to early 2000s Hollywood glamour.

Keep your face shape in mind when shopping this eyewear trend, as some styles work better than others for enhancing specific face shapes. While oversized frames can work for various facial features, be careful not to go too large. The width of your frames should extend to your temples but not reach past the edges of your face.

STATEMENT FRAMES

To look good, whether on a video call or in the boardroom, choose a pair of statement frames that demand attention, projecting confidence while complementing your face. Look for frames in exciting colors, shapes, and materials. In 2025, nature-inspired greens like olive and hunter are very fashion-forward. Interesting lens shapes, such as hexagonal frames, also help you stand out and look on trend.

Go bold without distracting from your natural features. You may want to get multiple pairs to switch looks regularly. Why not suit your fancy by incorporating as many trending glasses styles as possible?

ROUND & OVAL FRAMES

Round glasses offer timeless elegance and sophistication, regardless of trends and personal tastes. Round frames work for various face shapes, offering a bold and exciting style without becoming too much. If you have an angular face, round frames can be the perfect accessory to complement your facial structure while softening the sharper angles.

If round frames look too pronounced on your face, try oval glasses frames instead. This shape combines the soft edges of round glasses with the elongation and balance of provided by rectangular frames.

OMBRE & TWO-TONED FRAMES

If you can’t decide on just one color for your frames, ombre and two-toned glasses are making waves you can ride. These styles offer visual interest and the ability to coordinate with almost any outfit in your closet.

This eyeglasses trend is ever evolving, but the color usually starts darker at the top and transitions to a lighter shade, either softly or abruptly, using a bold accent color or a transparent rim. Feel confident, professional and fun—all in one frame style.

TRANSPARENT FRAMES & FRAMELESS GLASSES

Transparent frames rose in popularity during the late 2010s, and that popularity continues to gain momentum. With frame sizes getting larger, transparent frames offer a lighter, more subtle feel that showcases your face shape while making a statement.

Transparent frames are available in various styles, including tinted colors with unique metal accents and half-transparent rims. Try this look for a modern, distinctive flair.

For those who prefer “barely there” glasses, metal frames and frameless glasses offer vision correction that is as subtle as it gets. This look can feel simultaneously elevated and everyday, helping you look put together anywhere you go.

RETRO FRAMES—CAT-EYE, WAYFARERS, & AVIATORS

While designers sketch new designs for every new season, eyewear has experienced a resurgence of classic retro styles like cat-eye, wayfarer, and aviator-style glasses. This nostalgic trend is also evident in home decor, fashion and other areas, thanks to the warmth and comfort offered by styles reminiscent of bygone eras. Inspiring terms like “grandmillennial” and “granny chic” prove that the retro look is here to stay.

For a subtler, classic nod to retro, choose frames with a tortoiseshell pattern. Inspired by the brown, gold, and black patterns found on turtle shells, tortoiseshell is a widely available glasses frame color that was particularly popular in the 1950s and ‘60s as well as the 1980s.

SPORTS FRAMES

The sports frame trend should have never left because, let’s face it, staying active is healthy and being healthy is always in style. If you live in athleisure, celebrate that sports frames are making a resurgence. Think wrap-around, aviators, and goggle-inspired styles that protect a large section of the face: these frame shapes are not just for sunglasses anymore.

You can even get prescription lenses in frames designed to protect your eyes in construction or factory settings. Say goodbye to disposable goggles and hello to enhanced eye protection.

BRIGHT-COLORED FRAMES

Frame shapes aren’t the only eyeglass feature that has gotten more bold—color is coming back, brighter and more “in your face” than ever. Colorful frames can enhance your eye color and skin tones and, in some cases, even match specific wardrobe pieces. But don’t worry—if you’re not into bright colors, you can get more subtle, neutral tones and look just as stylish.

GLASSES WITH BLUE LIGHT FILTERING LENSES

With 62% of the global population regularly utilizing social media and an even higher percentage using digital devices, we all need to watch out for digital eye strain. This condition can contribute to headaches and eye fatigue.

Blue light filtering lenses help combat digital eye strain. Visionworks offers Smart Screen lenses, which decrease blue light rays by 45% and help protect your eyes from digital eyestrain from computers, smartphones, tablets, and TVs. Make sure your eyes stay comfortable and healthy, no matter which frames you choose.
