Before we get into the top trending styles, check out the best way to find glasses that suit you: Three Tips on How to Find the Best Glasses for Your Face Shape
How to choose the best eyewear frames?
Determining face shape: start with a mirror. Do you have sharp angles or soft angles? What is the most prominent feature of your face, consider cheekbones, forehead, and jawline. Can you determine if your face is heart shaped, square, oval, or round?
This can help you decide which frames suit your face because different types of frames will flatter different facial structures.
However, personal preference should win the decision in the end, because when someone is confident they look and feel their best! Our goal is to help you pick a distinctive frame that has both character and functionality, to help you feel your best – no matter the style.
The Top 7 Eyewear Trends of 2024
Eyewear in 2024 is not just about seeing well or shielding from the sun; it’s about making a statement, embracing technology, and enhancing personal style. Here are the trends setting the pace this year:
1. Sustainable Materials
In 2024, the eyewear industry is focusing on sustainability, using eco-friendly materials like recycled plastics, biodegradable substances, and reclaimed resources for frames. This trend mirrors a wider move towards reducing environmental impact, especially because most people only wear their glasses for a few years before replacing them. Retailers like Eco Eyewear and Sea2See are leading with their eco-conscious offerings.
2. Classic Designs Reimagined
Timeless eyewear styles like aviators, cat-eye, and round frames are updated with modern materials and design tweaks, appealing to both traditional and contemporary tastes. Brands like Ray-Ban and Warby Parker offer these refreshed classics.
4. Color and Pattern Diversity
2024 sees a shift towards vibrant colors and complex patterns in eyewear, supporting personal expression. This trend is embraced by brands across the spectrum, from high-end designers like Versace and Dolce & Gabbana to more accessible ones like Zenni Optical.
5. Advanced Lens Technology
Improvements in lens technology, including blue light filtration and UV protection, address the growing concern over eye health and screen time. These advancements are available from specialists like LensCrafters and online outlets like GlassesUSA.
6. Luxury and Designer Collaborations
Collaborations between high-fashion brands and eyewear manufacturers continue to produce luxurious and functional pieces, found at high-end stores like Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue, and directly from luxury boutiques such as Chanel and Dior.
7. Customization and Personalization
There’s a growing demand for personalized eyewear, allowing consumers to select everything from frame colors to lens shapes. Bespoke services offered by retailers like Eyeglass Factory and Individual Custom Eyewear cater to this desire for individualized products.
Embracing Eyewear as a Reflection of Self
Choosing eyewear is a deeply personal decision. It’s about finding that perfect pair that not only enhances your vision but also reflects your personality and fits your lifestyle. With advances in technology, such as virtual try-ons, and a greater emphasis on sustainability, selecting eyewear is more intuitive and environmentally conscious than ever.
