Trendiest glasses for university students 2023

With the new term just around the corner, many university students will be getting ready to head to campus. Look forward to the future and make sure you are fully equipped with everything you need. Look smart and stylish in a brand-new pair of glasses, whether you’re socialising with friends or catching up on your studies at university. We have compiled a list of the latest glasses trends to give you some style inspiration.

The transparent trend

Clear or transparent frames are extremely trendy at the moment. This versatile style will complement most skin tones and all face shapes because of its neutral tone. You can also feel confident enough to experiment with larger-sized frames as transparent glasses will be less likely to crowd your face in the same way a darker frame would. Discover a range of styles, from crystal clear and pastel colours to brighter tones.

Metal mania

The right pair of metal glasses will give you a highly intellectual look. They’re especially ideal for lectures at university and study sessions in the library. Metal frames are not only really sturdy and comfortable to wear but they are also really easy to style, capable of matching multiple outfits in your wardrobe! This is ideal for those busy days at university when you’re rushed off your feet and need a versatile pair of glasses that will go with everything! Select something simple and stylish or stand out in a vibrant and colourful frame.

Forest and earthy tones

As well as being easily adaptable, forest and earthy tones are actually really calming and will make you appear warm and approachable. We are seeing these styles pop up everywhere and they will blend especially well with your autumn wardrobe.

70s nostalgia

70s-style glasses are back in fashion. Big and bold, they make the ultimate statement. Turn heads when you’re walking around campus in a pair of ultra-cool retro glasses.

Funky geometric

Break the mould and feel confident in a pair of geometric glasses. A popular catwalk trend, you’ll discover everything from edgy hexagons to daring octagon shapes. We have a whole range of innovative designs.
