6 eyewear trends to watch out for in 2025

The fashion industry never stands still. Whether it’s the latest designer handbags or the newest trends in hair colour, change is a constant in the world of appearances. The eyewear industry is no different, with fashion eyewear always evolving to appeal to those wanting the latest and most stylish solutions.

As a leading glasses store in London, we at the Eye Establishment like to keep our fingers on the pulse, providing you with all the latest styles when helping you find your new glasses. Here are six eyewear trends to look out for in 2025.

 

1. Aviators

A timeless classic - who can forget the immortal line, ‘I feel the need, the need for speed’ in Top Gun? - has been reinvented for the modern age. Aviator frames are set to make a big comeback, blending the signature teardrop shape with modern twists such as coloured lenses, double bridges, and sleek metal finishes. Whether you’re channeling your inner Maverick or seeking a fresh, sporty aesthetic, aviators remain a versatile option.

2. Cat-eye

Exuding vintage glamour, cat-eye frames are a must-have for those who want to make a statement. In 2025, expect sharper edges, bold colour combinations and playful embellishments that elevate this 1950s-inspired silhouette into a modern masterpiece.

3. Thin frames

Understated and sophisticated, thin frames are perfect for those who value simplicity. Lightweight metal or acetate designs with subtle detailing ensure these frames remain versatile yet striking. Ideal for everyday wear, they offer effortless chic without overpowering your look.

4. Oversized

Bigger is definitely better in 2025. Oversized glasses continue to dominate the runway, with bold acetate designs and statement-making shapes. Perfect for those who love to mix function with high fashion, these frames add drama and personality to any outfit.

5. Rectangular frames

For those who appreciate timeless elegance, rectangular frames remain a go-to choice. Clean lines, neutral tones, and durable materials ensure these glasses never go out of style, making them a worthwhile investment for both fashion and practicality.

6. Round frames

Round frames are having their moment once again, channeling everything from intellectual sophistication to carefree bohemian vibes. In 2025, you’ll find them in an array of textures, including tortoiseshell and metallic finishes, offering a fresh spin on a beloved shape.
