The summer holidays are behind us so it’s time to reset for a fresh new season. Whether you’re commuting into the office or logging in from home, your professional eyewear for work should reflect your personal style and executive presence. For 2025, the office dress code has evolved to become more relaxed, but that doesn’t mean style takes a back seat! This year’s women’s office eyewear trends blend soft sophistication with bold expression.
Here’s our handpicked selection of the top prescription glasses to wear at work, featuring our brand-new Catwalk Collection. These fashionable women’s office glasses are made for the runway but built for every day. Each one taps into the year’s biggest style trends.
Soft neutrals and polished minimalism
Elegant professional glasses for work in neutral tones
Welcome to the era of quiet luxury. Think smooth curves, refined finishes and timeless appeal. This year, soft shades like nude, peach, pastel purple, dusty rose and warm grey are leading the way in professional eyewear. These understated colours bring versatility and calm confidence to your look, perfect for team meetings, desk days and post-work socials. Pair them with a crisp white blouse and tailored neutrals like a grey pencil skirt or beige trousers for a chic, professional look.
