Autumn is here! As the season changes, we felt inspired to explore some of the most popular glasses trends for this year so you can get your wardrobe ready for the months ahead. We’ve collated a list of the trendiest designs that everyone is wearing right now. Find styles to suit you and match them with your favourite autumn and winter outfits.
Trendy tortoiseshell
One of the very latest glasses trends is the classic tortoiseshell design and it’s not just the traditional brown you expect, you can now get them in a variety of striking hues, also known as Havana which is a lighter version of this timeless aesthetic. A dark brown or warm orange tortoiseshell is perfect for the autumn season, but you can easily mix and match your look with a choice of bright colourways that will add a vibrant glow to your complexion.
Tortoiseshell glasses are so versatile they will go well with a variety of different outfits for multiple occasions. Pair them with your favourite top and jeans at the weekend, match them with darker tones for work and wear them with similar coloured clothing at parties to elevate your style. But remember with this design, it is best to avoid clothes with bolder patterns, allowing the tortoiseshell print to take the spotlight! We’ve included a couple of suggestions for stylish frames we think you may like, take a look and see:

Sleek and sophisticated metal
Achieve an effortlessly cool look whatever your style with a pair of metal glasses. They are highly durable whether they are made of stainless steel, titanium, or another metallic material. A frame with a sleek metal silhouette is a great way to highlight your features. Achieve a timeless retro vibe with a pair of round or pilot-inspired glasses constructed from metal. A slim frame like this will work well with your casual weekend outfit. We recommend wearing it with a comfy hoodie, jeans and trainers for a fresh, youthful vibe.
For a feminine and professional style that will turn heads, try pairing metal cat-eyes with your favourite blouse, shirt, or blazer. Meanwhile, for men aiming to appear sharp and on-trend at the office, you can easily match round metal glasses with a stylish shirt.
If a square or rectangular shape is what you prefer, then go for a pair of oversized glasses. For a trendsetting look, we’d suggest a mixed-material frame, combining both acetate and metal for a chic and stylish edge. Here are some popular metal designs that may catch your eye:

Try a distinctive geometric shape
Embrace your unique sense of style with a pair of geometric glasses. Discover everything from hexagon to octagon shapes, including distinctive designs and circles enhanced with dramatic, geometric lines.
A metal hexagon-shaped frame will add a trendy edge to your professional outfits. Whether you opt for a more traditional shape similar to your favourite circular frame or you aim to be a little bolder, you’re sure to grab attention. Show off your unique character in a subtle, yet stylish way.
If it’s a lively, head-spinning vibe you’re after, a chunky acetate will give you a youthful edge that will truly allow your personality to shine through. Make a statement and feel confident when at parties and social events. Put on your brightest, boldest outfit, or simply pair vibrant glasses with darker clothing, showcasing their striking design! We suggest these two contemporary geometric styles:
Find many quirky geometric shapes within our range of classic round frames. We also have a few distinctive rectangular and square shapes, so be sure to take a look at those too!
Dare to go big and bold
When it comes to fashionable glasses, the bigger the better. The ultimate attention-grabber, oversized glasses are high in demand right now. They certainly deserve to take their place on the podium. Famous for their captivating, dramatic lines, this type of eyewear truly stands out from the crowd. Go for a pair of dark oversized glasses which go perfectly with almost everything.
Modern men will suit a classic square flat-top or oversized pilot-style frame made from thick acetate. These kinds of glasses will match a variety of outfits, from casual to professional. We’d suggest pairing bolder colours with a fitted jacket or turtleneck at the weekends, while darker square frames will go well with a smart shirt and blazer at work for a suave, contemporary look.
Women can show off their unique style with a pair of oversized round or square glasses. Combine them with a blazer and blouse at work or with your favourite knitted cardigan at the weekends. Large frames also work well with a black dress at parties. This allows them to take centre stage!
One extra tip, try to avoid loose clothing with extra-large glasses to ensure the overall design of the frame is complemented well. People with smaller faces may not suit an oversized look as the frame will crowd your face and deflect from your features.

Retro is back in fashion! Whether it’s an oversized 1970’s classic or a throwback to the 1950s, there’s no denying the rising appeal of these vintage glasses. Give yourself a sophisticated look based on your favourite styles.
Men will suit browline glasses, especially a classic Clubmaster or round shape. This design is classic and traditional. It can be worn with skinny jeans and a blazer for a stylish look, perfect for cocktail parties and social events. This kind of style can also work well with your favourite business attire.
Ladies, you should absolutely go for a chic cat-eye with lots of detailing for a vintage 50’s vibe. Alternatively, you can choose a pair of oversized square or round glasses for a striking 70’s or 80’s look. Inspire your unique personality with a pair of retro glasses to match.

It’s crystal clear!
Glasses with a clear or transparent frame are a real must-have fashion accessory. Subtle yet stylish, they come in a variety of classic shapes and designs. A clear frame will add a touch of modern style to any outfit.
We would recommend a transparent frame in neutral and pastel colours which work well with lighter-coloured clothing, especially blues and creams. If you want to add a touch of vibrancy to your outfit, we also have many brighter hues to choose from. A striking red, yellow or blue will contrast and appear fashionable with more understated colours, like beige, grey and black. If you’re heading out with friends and want a more eye-catching look, you can always match these brighter colours with similar shades for a bold and fashionable edge.
