The New Year is upon us and as we step into 2025, eyewear is taking center stage with new styles to ring in the year ahead. Glasses are no longer simply a practical accessory, but they have also become an essential style statement. Here are the latest eyewear trends to watch out for this year.
The retro vibes are bringing nostalgia to the modern look. First, round frames are making a comeback. The John Lennon-inspired look is back but with more colorful metals. The second revival you may see this year is oversized aviators with sleek rims paired with gradient lenses for a sophisticated and stylish look. Lastly, expect a lot more alternatives to the usual geometrical shapes with a modern twist. Hexagonal and octagonal frames are in and are here to stay this year. A tip: pair your retro frames with minimalistic fashion to allow the glasses to stand out.
The new year is a perfect time to set new resolutions with regards to how we can be more mindful of the environment. This can start with your eyewear as the industry is moving into more eco-friendly frames. Using biodegradable materials, sustainability has become the focus with recycled plastics or bamboo being used in the creation of some frames. Furthermore, some brands are moving towards eco-friendly production methods as well, reducing waste while remaining stylish in their designs.
From smart phones to smart glasses! Tech-integrated frames are not just a fun gadget, but they’re becoming even more stylish in 2025. We’ve already seen the rise of this with the popular blue light filtering glasses. This type of eyewear uses enhanced technology for screen time, perfectly blending function with fashion.
A burst of colour is coming in the new year. The neutral tone frames are heading out while vibrant colors and patterns are stepping into the spotlight. From neon pinks to electric blues, expect bright coloured hues when it comes to stylish frames in 2025. If you’re looking for fresh look on a classic, multicolored and marbled patterns are also going to be trending in the new year. A tip: Use bold eyewear to add a pop of colour to monochromatic outfits.
For those who prefer subtle sophistication, eyewear choices that embody understated luxury offer both style and practicality. Rimless designs, with their lightweight and barely-there frames, create a sleek, clean look that complements any professional wardrobe without overpowering it. These frames deliver an effortlessly elegant appearance, ideal for those seeking minimalistic refinement. Similarly, transparent acetate frames in clear or smoky hues provide a modern twist on classic eyewear. The versatility of these frames makes them perfect for any occasion, offering a fresh yet timeless appeal that can easily transition from the office to evening outings. Together, these styles capture the essence of refined elegance with a contemporary edge.
Whether you're a fan of bold statements or classic elegance, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for eyewear. With sustainability and even technology leading the charge, there’s a style for everyone at Le Lunetier. So, which trend will you be rocking this year?
