One is all dark romance and bold silhouettes. The other is a nostalgic 90s-chic aesthetic that&#8217;s easy and effortlessly cool.

One makes a statement, the other keeps things effortless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I wear Halloween-inspired glasses all year&nbsp;round?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. These trends work as everyday style choices, not just costume accessories. A pair of cat-eye or metal frames can easily become part of your regular wardrobe long after Halloween.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I know which trend suits my face shape?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on your face shape and personal style.&nbsp;Rounder faces often suit angular gothic glam shapes, while metal 90s-style frames tend to suit most face shapes thanks to their slim, minimal design. Try our&nbsp;Face Shape Guide&nbsp;for tailored suggestions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I try before I buy?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. With our free&nbsp;Home Trial service, you can choose up to four frames to try at home before deciding, so you can be confident in your choice before you commit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I need a new prescription for these styles?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>No, you can use your current prescription with any of these frame styles. If&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;not sure when your prescription was last checked,&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;worth booking an eye test to make sure&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;up to date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In short:&nbsp;This Halloween, eyewear trends split into two directions: dramatic&nbsp;Gothic glam&nbsp;in&nbsp;dark acetate&nbsp;and&nbsp;cat-eye shapes, and a nostalgic 90s chic aesthetic built on&nbsp;slim metal frames&nbsp;and&nbsp;subtle tints.
