Where do trends come from?
Fashion trends change according to cultural influence, the fashion cycle and the innovations of trend agencies and influential designers. Major brands also play a role, shaping fashion with collections that redefine what is in. The 2024–2025 season is no exception, with a fusion of past and future.
Eyewear trends: frames that make a difference
Fashion trends for 2024–2025 explore new horizons, combining a reinvention of the classics with bold volume and colour. In the world of eyewear, retro influences, innovative materials and luxurious details are transforming glasses into a true statement of style. Find out how to be on the cutting edge of eyewear this season.
1. Transparency: light and modern
Transparency is one of this year’s main eyewear trends. Translucent frames, often in acetate or innovative materials, offer an airy, modern look. These frames play with light while adding a subtle, elegant touch to the face. Shades range from crystal-clear to lightly tinted, gently adding colour.
2. Retro is back: nostalgia reinvented
Retro frames, featuring influences from the ’70s and ’80s, are making a strong comeback. Oversized glasses, often square or round, are back in fashion, recalling the vintage elegance of decades past. Colours range from neutrals like brown and grey, to more vivid hues for a bold look. These models are perfect for adding a touch of nostalgia to a modern style.
3. Playing with proportions: from oversized to minimalist
This season, the trend is to explore extreme proportions. We’re seeing XXL glasses, which cover the face for a bold, glamorous effect, as well as thin, discreet frames, ideal for a minimalist look. The choice between these two styles allows us to play with proportions and adapt to individual preferences and features. Oversized eyewear continues to dominate in bold styles, while minimalism is popular for its understated elegance.
4. Trendy colours: neutral and bold
This year’s eyewear plays on a varied colour palette ranging from elegant neutrals to vibrant hues. Key colours include:
- Khaki green: soothing and trendy, perfect for a natural look.
- Burgundy: sophisticated and timeless.
- Navy blue: elegant, ideal for a classic style.
- Butter yellow and camel: warm tones that soften the face.
- Bright red: bold and vibrant, it goes perfectly with more assertive frames.
5. Eco-responsible frames: committed fashion
In line with growing ecological awareness, more and more brands are launching eco-friendly eyewear collections. These frames use recycled or biodegradable materials, without compromising style. In addition to making an ethical choice, opting for eco-responsible eyewear allows you to stand out with unique and innovative models, while contributing to environmental conservation.
6. Metal embellishments: a touch of luxury
Metal frames are also gaining in popularity this season, often embellished with gold or silver details. These thin, lightweight frames add a touch of sophistication and luxury. Twisted metal temples or small metal inlays are perfect for those seeking an elegant, timeless style.
7. Geometric shapes: modernity and originality
Geometric shapes, such as hexagonal or octagonal frames, add a touch of originality and modernity. These glasses stand out for their unique design and are perfect for anyone who wants to express their personality with style. Playing with angles also helps enhance the structure of a wearer’s face.
Nowadays, eyewear doesn’t just correct eyesight: it transforms and showcases individual style. Between elegant transparency, the return of retro, the interplay of proportions and the wide range of colour choices, everyone can find a pair that perfectly matches their style and values.
