Autumn Eyewear Trends

This Autumn, top bar & oversized frames continue to be popular, along with cat-eye and geometric frames. But here are some alternative trends in eyewear that we’re excited about this season:

Colour Gradient Frames

The ombre effect is a gentler take on both colourful frames and darker frames, brightening the wearer’s face without overwhelming it. They appeal to those looking for something a bit more unique or distinctive compared to traditional solid-colour frames. This design is popular in both sunglasses and prescription glasses, offering a stylish, modern look that can be subtle or bold depending on the chosen colours.

Round frames

Vintage-inspired round glasses are trending for Autumn 2024. This style, often associated with a retro, intellectual look, has made a strong comeback in recent years. Frames have been updated with modern touches, such as unusual colours, mixed materials and subtle embellishments, making them both nostalgic and contemporary.

Transparent frames

Transparent frames have gained popularity for their versatility & modern aesthetic. This trend is part of a broader movement in eyewear that emphasizes lightness, comfort, and subtlety, making transparent frames a popular choice for those looking to update their look with something chic yet understated. The clean, understated look of transparent frames fits well with the ongoing trend towards minimalism in fashion and accessories.
