The must-have GLCO frames for 2025
Created in 2010, Garrett Leight California Optical - GLCO - is dedicated to creating classic designs with high-quality craftsmanship. Its frames are inspired by the people, places and stories of the Golden State, and each is imbued with the easy-going philosophy that’s integral to the brand. GLCO glasses and sunglasses are always a popular choice for customers at The Eye Establishment thanks to their timeless style and comfort. Here, we present a selection of some of the must-have frames from the brand in 2025.
Wilson
These optical frames are inspired by music legend John Lennon and his penchant for round frames. Made with stainless steel and acetate Windsor rims and temples, they evoke 1960s glamour and the rise of celebrity culture. The Wilson comes in an array of colours to suit the Spring/Summer 2025 season, including Honeycomb Tortoise, Demi Blonde and Dark Wave Rock.
William
A celebration of attention to detail, the William is a metal optical frame enhanced with intricate bridge filigree and end piece detailing. Offering a refined take on a classic style, it has a teardrop shape in a range of timeless colours and is hand finished.
Hampton Sun
An icon from the original GLCO sunglasses collection, Hampton Sun continues to be a bestseller among both men and women. Striking a balance between casual and refined, it has a retro-inspired silhouette and a selection of contemporary colourways. Made with biodegradable cured cellulose acetate and incorporating 100% UV protection, this frame is ethical, practical and stylish.
Clune Sun
A modern take on the classic P3 silhouette, Clune Sun is inspired by mid-20th century fashion. Its distinctive round shape and selection of colourways suit a range of styles and preferences, while the use of cured cellulose acetate ensures it is sustainable.
Boon
This traditional, rectangular men’s optical frame sports semi-rounded rims and a keyhole bridge for enhanced comfort. Made with lightweight acetate, Boon comes in a variety of colourways to suit the season, from Brandy Tortoise to Pure Glass.
Kinney Sun
One of GLCO’s most celebrated and recognisable frames, Kinney Sun has a timeless appeal with balanced proportions that suit both men and women. A keyhole bridge and flowing curves soften the square-shaped frame, while a wide range of colours for both frames and lenses enable wearers to tailor their look.
Brooks
A bestseller since its debut in the brand’s very first collection, Brooks was named after Brooks Avenue in Venice Beach, where Garrett Leight grew up. It has a square-shaped silhouette and defined keyhole bridge, making it well-suited to wider face shapes.
