You might need prescription glasses to see, but that doesn’t mean your eyewear can’t make a statement, too. Glasses are the ultimate fashion accessory because people must wear them all day, every day, regardless of the season, occasion, or outing. Below, the stylish team at Clear Vision Center in Brooklyn, NY, explores just a few of the hottest eyewear trends for 2018.

5 Prescription Glasses Trends That Will Be Huge in 2018

1. Thin Frames

Let your lenses speak for themselves by opting for a sleek pair of glasses with a thin, metal frame. This year, chunkier frames are out, and thin is in. Wearing eyewear with a slender metal frame will allow you to accentuate your best features instead of overpowering them.

2. Blinkers

Blinkers were fairly popular at the end of last year, and you can expect the demand for them to skyrocket in the coming months. Because of their inconspicuous design and subtle elegance, glasses with blinkers offer the perfect compromise between practical and fashionable.

3. Ombre Lenses

Step aside, ombre curls, because ombre lenses are finally here. This sexy hair trend has found its way into eyewear, and prescription glasses with this subtle gradient will be a hot seller all year long. The best part? Because of their gradual fade from light to dark, ombre lenses can serve as both indoor eyewear and sunglasses.

4. Cat Eyes

Cat eye glasses go in and out of style, and this year, they’re totally in. Designers will take bold risks with this slightly pointed shape in the coming seasons, and people who love nontraditional frames will feel especially at home with this trend.

5. Wooden Frames

Wooden frames can be just as durable as metal ones, but they’re so much lighter. They also happen to be hypoallergenic. People aren’t flocking to purchase wooden glasses solely for their practicality, though. This year, expect to see wooden frames in all kinds of rich stains that include every shade imaginable, from burnt charcoal to golden honey.
