What’s In for 2025: Trends We’re Loving
Discovering your personal style is a great way to learn what you like and what you don’t. The only fashion rule we truly stand by is that there are no rules. Get creative, and expressive, and find what works for you, even if it appears untrendy at times.
With that said, exploring current eyewear trends can help you discover something unique and get out of your comfort zone!
The year 2024 really encouraged us to focus on dressing up our current looks with creative accessories, and we’re seeing this well into 2025. Here are some of the eyewear trends we’re loving this year and why.
Sustainable Chic
Eco-conscious fashion is here to stay, and eyewear is no exception. Many brands are turning to sustainable materials like recycled acetates, bio-based plastics, and even reclaimed wood to create stylish yet eco-friendly frames.
Some brands we carry at iSight Optometry have been leaning into this trend, offering options that help protect the planet while enhancing your look. Look out for designs that combine luxury with sustainability, featuring muted earth tones and recycled materials.
Oversized Frames
From slouchy jeans and oversized jackets, bigger is better in 2025. Although the 2010s brought us heavy face-framing eyeglasses, 2025 offers a fresh take on the trend most of us hold dearly.
Don’t limit yourself to just rectangles or squares. Play with oversized ovals, cat eyes, round frames, or even geometric shapes for something subtle but refined. Try keeping the colours neutral if you’re going big on size to avoid overwhelming your face.
These frame styles are bold, fun, and perfect for those who aren’t afraid to make a statement. At iSight Optometry, you can find a range of oversized styles that balance personality with practicality.
Gradient Lenses
Although gradient lenses have been a staple in sunglasses, they’re now making their way into everyday eyewear. Gradient lenses subtly shift from one hue to another, giving your glasses a modern, high-fashion appeal.
Ray-Ban seamlessly blends timeless frame styles with contemporary upgrades like gradient lenses, adding a versatile edge to their classic design.
Bold Colours & Transparent Tints
Clear and pastel-tinted frames were huge in the past couple of years, but 2025 is taking it up a notch. Bright, bold colours like electric blue, deep purple, and vibrant orange are in.
If bold acetate frames have caught your eye, look no further than Etnia Barcelona. Known for their artistic flair, Etnia Barcelona combines fashion-forward acetate designs with unique colourways and patterns that truly make a statement.
Transparent frames with multi-tone hues also bring a soft but trendy touch. If you’re hesitant to go all-in on bold colours, explore transparent frames featuring just a hint of colour at iSight Optometry’s collection.
Hybrid Frames
Hybrid frames are gaining popularity as they combine elements from different styles. Think metal browlines with acetate rims or steel frames paired with wood temples.
Eyewear from Tom Ford beautifully merges acetate and metal features for a luxurious take on an unconventional design.
This mix-and-match approach is perfect for anyone who loves innovation and subtle contrasts. The brands carried at iSight Optometry are at the forefront of offering stylish hybrid options.
Minimalist Metals
Although the trends this year are bold, minimalism is here to stay. It’s classic, refined, and timeless.
Options like thin frames in gold, silver, or rose gold are versatile and look great on everyone! Eyewear from Kate Spade offers sleek frames with intricate detailing for a subtle twist on metal frames.
No matter your daily excursions, minimalist metal frames add the right amount of sophistication to any look.
What’s Out in 2025: Trends We’re Waving Goodbye
The bottom line is to wear whatever you like with confidence!
With that said, every style has its moment in the sun. So, if you’re wanting to freshen up your look, distance yourself from these styles fading out as 2025 continues:
- Overly embellished frames: Think chunky rhinestones and heavy jewel accents. You can never go wrong with a simple frame. Switch the loud accents for subtle metal hardware instead.
- Micro glasses: These specs made tiny waves last year while we experimented with 2000s style. They’re fun, but not everyone feels comfortable rocking them as an everyday look. In the end, practicality overtakes tiny glasses with oversized frames.
- Pitch-black lenses in everyday glasses: Although these aren’t going anywhere, stark black lenses feel boring and flat. Gradient lenses and tints offer greater variety with a sprinkle of boldness.
If you’ve been rocking this style for years, take a chance on something new! Our iSight Optometry team can help you find a trendy pair of lenses you feel comfortable in and help freshen up your look!
