Top Latest Fashion Trends In Designer Glasses

Using eyewear as a fashion accessory is nothing new, and the range of designer glasses available to us is vast. Even the oldest and most traditional fashion houses have brought out their own signature styles to tempt us to aspire to a little slice of luxury. Lindberg, Marni, Chloe, Tom Ford, Nike, Victoria Beckham, and Calvin Klein are just a few of the big names in designer glasses, and, just as in clothing, fashion evolves, styles come and go, and we’re always looking for the ‘next big thing’.

So, what are the next big things? We’re glad you asked!

Black is Always the New Black

The perennial black-rimmed frames will probably never go out of style. Whether it’s dramatic, boxy and bold, or a delicate face-framing silhouette, a pair of classic black designer glasses is never a mistake. They go with everything and can even make you look more intellectual – particularly when paired with an all-black ensemble.

A Whiter Shade of Pale

On the other side of the coin, while white frames are another classic staple, they’re really having a renaissance right now. Everyone from celebrities to sports stars seem to be rocking a pair of white frames, not only in sunglasses, but for regular specs as well. If you want to really make a statement, go for oversized white frames and black lenses.

Mirrors to the Soul

Mirrored lenses have come and gone in fashion eras for nearly a century, but right now they’re definitely on the up again. While they were first created to protect against harmful UV rays, reflective lenses add an aura of mystery and luxury, and celebrities love a pair of mirrored designer glasses as the perfect barrier from the paparazzi.

A Rainbow of Colour

Another trend that’s really taken off is coloured lenses in sunglasses. As well as protecting your eyes, coloured lenses make a very strong fashion statement – so be prepared to be the centre of attention if you sport a pair of designer glasses with green, purple, blue, yellow or red lenses. The frames are often in the same hue as the lenses, but some are produced in contrasting colours, which adds to the drama.

Old and New

“Modern Vintage” styles are huge at the moment, where classic styles like cats-eye and aviator are given a contemporary tweak. Modern vintage works best with bold, geometric designs in bright, unexpected colour combinations. This eclectic style isn’t for everyone, but fashion favours the brave!

Perfect Patterns

Finally, patterned frames are very on-trend right now. The most classic and timeless of these is the tortoiseshell, but also becoming popular are geometric prints, nature prints (like animals, birds, butterflies, flowers etc), and the very striking animal prints (leopard, tiger, cheetah).

Life for spectacle wearers has come a long way since the dull, heavy frames that often brought shame and embarrassment. Today, designer glasses are an aspirational fashion accessory that not only serve as functional eyewear, but allows the wearer to express their personality via global trends. Black, white, mirrored, coloured, and modern vintage are this year’s hottest looks, but only time will tell what’s next.
