What’s Trending in Modern Eyewear

 

A stylish pair of glasses is a must-have of any fashion lover. Of course, functionality is pretty important, too. Today’s designers offer incredible spectacles in almost any color, shape, and material. If you’re in the market for new eyeglasses, read on to learn what’s trending:

Oversized Frames

Oversized frames are back! This glam look offers face shielding protection for the eyes as well as fashion-forward style. Feel confident and protected rocking a range of looks inspired by 70’s chic to early 2000’s Hollywood starlet glamour. When shopping for this eyewear trend, keep your face shape in mind. While oversized frames can work for a range of facial features, it is important that you don’t go too big for your face shape. Your frames’ width should extend to the temples and not reach past the width of your face.

Round Glasses

Round glasses offer timeless elegance, style and sophistication. Round frames work for various face shapes and offer bold and exciting style without going over the top. If you have a more angular face, round frames are the perfect accessory to complement your facial structure and offer some softness.

Two-Toned Glasses

If you can’t decide on just one color for your frames, you will love this next trend. Ombre and two-toned glasses are making waves for their visual interest and ability to coordinate with almost any outfit in your closet. Typically, these frames start off darker at the top and transition softly or abruptly to a lighter shade, a bold accent color or even a transparent rim. Feel confident, professional and fun—all in one frame style.

Clear Frames

Transparent frames started to see a rise in popularity in the late 2010s—and that popularity is only continuing to skyrocket. With frame sizes getting larger, transparent frames offer a lighter feel and help showcase your face while still making a statement. Transparent frames are available in various styles, including tinted colors, unique metal accents and half-transparent rims. Try out this look for a bit of modern flair and a lot of trendsetting style.

Blue Light Glasses

Thanks to the pandemic, we have all spent more time on our devices over the past year. Remote work has made video calls a necessity and we all most likely had plenty of social media scrolling and streaming in 2020. All this screen time can lead to digital eye strain, which can cause headaches, difficulty sleeping, fatigue and even eye damage. Luckily, blue light glasses can help reduce the effects of digital eye strain. Blue light glasses decrease blue light rays by 45% and protect your eyes from the harmful glare of computers, smartphones, tablets, and TVs. It is anticipated that blue light glasses will continue to trend in popularity throughout 2021 and beyond.
