As more and more people are working from home and making frequent video calls, fashion is shifting to accommodate this lifestyle. Simple clothing with bold, statement accessories is becoming the norm, and this includes glasses frames. This year’s most popular styles are eye-catching and quirky, as well as having blue-light-blocking lenses to help counteract all that time in front of a screen. Here are a few of the major trends to watch for.

What Are the Most Stylish Eyeglasses This Year?

1. Retro Looks

This year is seeing a surge of vintage styles. Large aviators are popular as both sunglasses and daily wear. The classic cat eye is available in a range of colors and with fun details such as rhinestones to elevate your look.

2. Bright Colors

Bold crayon colors help draw attention to your glasses and your face in general. These can be either solid or translucent. In fact, some modern designs include lenses and frames all made from a piece of translucent acetate tinted in a bright color.

3. Modified Tortoiseshell

The original tortoiseshell pattern is black and brown with a spotted appearance. It has come in and out of style for decades, but this year’s trendsetters are trying something new. Variations on tortoiseshell use more contrast or brighter colors to draw attention and add variety to this classic.

4. Thick Dark Frames

Like bright colors, this option draws attention to your eyes. Some styles have a wide black border all around while others are dark across the brows. It’s easy to combine this trend with familiar shapes like cat eye glasses, but this style also comes in a wide range of other shapes.

5. Wire Frames

In contrast to most of the other items on this list, wire frames are understated. They have only a thin metal border and can almost seem to float on your face. These are the glasses to choose this year if you don’t want to go bold, you want something that matches the most outfits, or you have other accessories you’d like to focus on.
