We thought it was high time that we introduced you to some of the hottest upcoming glasses trends in 2025. From low-key, simple metal styles to some of the biggest and boldest chunky acetates — glasses are all about making your personality and style known to the world. Discover what designs are in style this season. Explore our top picks and find the perfect pair of glasses to suit you!

Modern minimalism
As light as a feather and always sophisticated, understated styles like chic rimless glasses and metal frames are still shining in the spotlight this year. Fuelled by the Y2K trends which took over last year, this iconic eyewear trend is all about clean and minimalistic designs with simplicity at their the heart. These styles are timeless and ultra versatile. Modern minimalism is one of the sleekest eyeglasses trends to hit the ground running in 2025.
While the glasses might be toned-down in appearance, they still have plenty of personality, with stylish features that catch the eye — from unique accents along the temples to quirky geometric-shaped lenses that bring a modern twist to subtle eyewear designs. If you’re a minimalist at heart, this trend will really appeal to you!

Oversized statement styles
From minimalism to the other extreme, we see a completely opposite trend in the statement-making oversized frames which are everywhere right now. Look at the Saint Laurent Spring 2025 runway styles for example, which are full of chunky, thick-rimmed acetate glasses. They are a real fashion favourite this year and are perfect for adding a touch of creative flair to your everyday wardrobe. They come in all kinds of styles from edgy angular designs to curvy circular shapes. This trend is all about the drama! The bigger the better when it comes to choosing glasses frames.
Acetate frames in neutral tones like black, white, beige and tortoiseshell take centre stage for daywear while colourful pastels, vivid neon hues and brightly coloured transparent frames add a fun and playful edge to your casual wardrobe. These creative and eye-catching eyewear designs are an excellent way to inject some fun and personality into your wardrobe. So, go ahead, make a fashion statement!
Just be aware, larger glasses are best suited to people with longer facial features. Oversized glasses will bring balance and add width to faces that are lengthy and well-proportioned. If you have a very petite face shape, meanwhile, then we recommend that you avoid choosing too large a frame. Instead, try going for a medium-sized design, made of thick acetate to give the impression of extra size without overcrowding your features too much.

Vintage glamour
Cat-eyes and butterfly glasses have dominated the eyewear fashion scene for generations. As reliable accessories you can always turn to, they are an ever-popular glasses style for women.
These timeless glasses shapes have a very similar appearance but the difference between cat-eye and butterfly glasses is that cat-eyes tend to be narrower in size with very upswept corners while butterfly glasses are characterised by their wide lenses (which ironically enough, resemble the shape of a butterfly). A simple way to tell them apart? Well, cat-eye glasses are more Marilyn Monroe while butterfly glasses are Audrey Hepburn’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Cat-eye and butterfly glasses both have a playful design that brings elegance and class to your wardrobe. We are seeing so many different styles pop up in 2025, from subtle angular designs and everyday classics to dramatic upswept styles. Embrace a chic vintage-inspired 50s vibe with a pair of elegant cat-eyes or elevate your style with a pair of large-sized butterfly glasses inspired by the bohemian styles of the 70s. Cat-eye and butterfly shapes are flattering for a variety of different face shapes. The upswept corners of the cat-eye provide a natural lift for a youthful look, while butterfly glasses will add a touch of Hollywood glamour to your look. Plus, the Polaroid design we have selected below is made from sustainable materials, more specifically recycled metal. Perfect if you want to make a more conscious choice about your eyewear.

Sharp, angular glasses
Angular-looking frames are gaining a lot of traction in 2025. In particular, very solid looking square and rectangular glasses and modern pilot-style frames. They are very sophisticated in style with a wide front and bold temples which really catch the eye. These stylish men’s glasses will add a confident and fashionable edge to your look.
Pilot or Aviator glasses are very on-trend not just for men, but for women too. They are capable of suiting a variety of different face shapes. The strong top bar helps to balance out rounder features while the teardrop lenses gently soften angular face shapes. Meanwhile, angular glasses shapes with very prominent features are excellent for adding balance to very round faces.

Cute and curvy
Round frames — from bold circular and oval shapes to classic phantos frames — are making a big comeback this year thanks to a recent revival of retro fashion trends. These styles are being reimagined and blend the nostalgic charm of vintage sytles with contemporary design features and modern materials for a trendy, refined look that is truly irresistible. Ideal for those with very angular features, round glasses will complement the unique structure of your face.
