Wearing glasses doesn’t have to be boring. Sure, they’re absolutely necessary if you want to see, but just because you need them, doesn’t mean they should only be function. Check out the hottest eyewear trends for this season.
Fashion in eyewear has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. Before the advent of online specs store like Aoolia, people were stuck with what their local optician had in stock. These styles could be bland and stuffy and with very limited options with regards to colour, design and and material.
Thankfully, buying specs online really took off and made it much more accessible to get your hands on some gorgeous, affordable glasses.
Hottest Eyewear Trends
Below are some of the hottest trends in eyewear right now!
Fun Shapes
Gone are the days when your choice in glasses was either round or square. You can definitely still get your hands on those classic shapes, but if you fancy something a little different, there are a multitude of options available.
Geometric glasses are now a style staple and come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. I love these large angular glasses (pictured above). Big specs are still big news in the style stakes.
If you love to stand out from the crowd, go for something super-sized and super colourful.
Big and Round
Round frames are a classic style, but they don’t need to be bland. Plastic, colourful big and round frames are such a fun choice to bring this style up to date.
Trendy eyeglasses can come in all shapes and sizes, but big, round specs are back with a bang.
Rainbow Specs
Sometimes it’s not just the style that matters but the colour too. Colours can be a big part in informing you choice on which glasses to go for.
I absolutely adore these plastic-rimmed spectacles with the bit missing at the side. It’s a cool style with a lovely colour mix. The rainbow shades flow perfectly into one another and these frames are a got pick for me.
Cats Eye Sunglasses
Once you’ve got your main pair of clear glasses sorted, it’s time to get some prescription sunglasses.
When you need prescription glasses, it can be a frustration to find sunglasses. Obviously non-prescription sunglasses work if you have contact lenses, but you can’t really wear specs over your specs if you don’t.
Prescription sunglasses are a lifesaver. You don’t have to compromise on frames these days and you can get almost any regular prescription in most frames. All you have to do is choose the style and pick a tint colour.
If you do a lot of driving, you might want to splash out on polarised lenses for the car. They change the way light passes through a lens and are great for reducing reflections.
Barbie-core
Since the Barbie movie came out, everyone has gone mad for anything looking vaguely Barbie-like. So why not join in the hype and invest in some cool Barbie inspired specs like the ones pictured.
Use as sunglasses or just to elevate your outfit. You can’t beat a bit of pink – one of the hottest eyewear trends this season.
