Modern minimalism and transparency, or wild shapes and retro frames? If you were wondering what you should wear this season, you might be surprised to learn that almost any extreme goes.
We’ve collaborated with EuroOptica to write a short guide on this season’s most popular eyewear trends.
Minimalist glasses
Minimalism is an incredibly persistent trend, and although it has started to receive its fair share of criticism from people who have grown tired of it over the years, it remains highly influential. Rimless glasses and simple lens shapes are still popular in 2025 and will probably continue to be in the next few years, so purchasing a pair now is a safe bet.
It is important to add that while minimalistic glasses might not be the most eye-catching accessories, some of them still can become focal points of your outfit if you are willing to be a bit more creative with them. Just don’t add too many other accessories to the mix — it will probably result in a less focused appearance.
Transparent glasses
Glasses with transparent frames are quirky, fun, and light, and they take over the fashion industry at the moment. What makes them so great is the fact that as long as you opt for transparency, you are already part of the latest trend — no matter the shape, color, size, or tint. These frames also work surprisingly well with both casual and formal outfits, and they look great whether used in sunglasses or reading glasses.
Sharp angles
Rectangles and squares are all the rage, especially when they are wide and solid. While these types of frames don’t necessarily complement most face shapes, they are popular enough for it to not matter as much.
It is worth adding that these are certainly statements rather than casual comfort wear, although nothing stops you from using them in different scenarios. Aviator-style glasses are particularly widespread at the moment, so if you ever wanted to try them out, now is a good time for it.
Retro round glasses
Old-school perfect circles might have been considered way too retro for a while, but in 2025 they make an appearance once again. These glasses work well in any scenario and can add a certain unique charm to your appearance. EuroOptica experts recommend trying them out now, especially if you haven’t worn these before — it can be a surprisingly exciting experience.
Oversized glasses
Surprisingly enough, comically oversized glasses somehow manage to coexist with other trends, competing with them to earn the top spot in 2025. Thick and giant frames combined with neutral tones result in a sort of exaggerated ’80s look and certainly become the center of attention no matter what you wear. If you were looking to make a statement this season, here’s the recipe you need.
While it can be difficult to match these glasses with your outfits, The potential contrast may be striking in its own way, so we definitely recommend experimenting with the look if you are willing. However, if you simply want to achieve a classic stylish look, then you should probably pass on this particular trend.
