With 2023 just a few weeks away, it’s time to start looking toward what the new year will bring for eyeglass trends. A pair of eyeglasses aren’t just for utility; they also greatly influence and enhance your look, much like a particular hairstyle would.
There are endless options to choose from styles such as round, square, cat-eye, and more. You can also choose from many colors and materials to find the perfect pair. Whether you regularly wear eyeglasses or only wear them from time to time, it’s important for you to consider what styles you like and what will achieve the look you’re going for. Eyeglasses are much like accessories; where they can elevate your look and take it to the next level.
Consider some of the following styles when looking for eyeglasses in the new year.
1. The Racer
This sporty style is filled with angular, futuristic touches and modular styles created with lightweight, sustainable materials. The lenses for this style will be iridescent, mirrored, or tinted. This style is perfect for someone who is active and needs a pair of high-performance and durable eyeglasses.
Rather than traditional sporty eyewear that might seem bulky or outdated, the racer adds a fresh perspective on athletic eyewear. This style is also a great choice for streetwear and everyday looks, not just for sports. With many different options for colors, you can create a look that’s a bit more subtle or one that has you standing out in a crowd.
2. The Oversized Angular
Oversized eyeglasses originally worn in the 1970s have been coming back in recent years. Pairing that style with angular touches and styles creates a dramatic yet minimalistic look. This style is perfect for both men and women and is a luxury staple in the eyewear market.
These eyeglasses are perfect for someone who wants a simple, clean look while also looking to stand out a bit. With the lightweight frame, you also don’t need to worry about feeling weighed down. There are plenty of color and pattern options to choose from with this style, so you’re sure to find the one that compliments your style and taste.
3. Green Eco-Conscious Frames
The new year will see a rise in eco-conscious frames, as consumers concerned about the fashion industry’s impact on the world will start seeking more sustainable options. These days, many eyeglasses are crafted with natural wood, recycled plastic, cork, and bamboo.
Chromatic green will also become more popular in 2023, as green is associated with ongoing environmental efforts. Additionally, other shades of green will also be popular, such as lime green or bright green.
Eco-conscious frames are on the rise, especially since you don’t need to compromise your style in order to help the planet. Just about any style of eyewear can be crafted from sustainable materials, so you can feel good about the glasses you wear.
4. Tinted Lenses
The new year will also see tinted lenses increasing in popularity. This retro eyewear style comes in many shades of warm-hued lenses, like red, orange, and yellow. This trend of “new retro” styling is perfect for someone who wants a vintage feel.
Pairing tinted lenses with an oversized frame will create a dramatic look while pairing them with a more minimalistic frame will keep it feeling more vintage. There are endless options available to you when it comes to incorporating tinted lenses into your style.
5. Geometric Frames
This style of hexagonal or octagon-shaped frames is a massive trend and won’t be going away soon. This style is even evolving to incorporate a blend of aviator and geometric styles to create an ultra-modern frame.
Geometric frames allow you to have plenty of options to choose from in order to find the shape that best fits your face shape and personal style. Not only do you get to choose from the different shapes, but you also get to choose the size and color that best fits you. These futuristic eyeglasses are perfect for the person who enjoys staying on trend and making a statement.
