In addition to giving you a clearer view of the world, eyeglasses make for a stylish addition to your outfit. Over 150 million Americans wear corrective eyewear. Whether you need a new prescription or simply want to upgrade your look, keep these trends in mind when deciding on a new pair.

A Guide to Popular Trends in Eyeglasses

1. Round, Square, & Heart-Shaped Frames

When it comes to shape, both round and deep square frames are trending. If you want to go for something more memorable than your typical round shape, aviator eyeglasses, with that distinctive top bar, are a bold option.

If you’re looking for more whimsy in your life, opt for heart-shaped glasses. Pair this shape with an understated metallic frame to create an eye-catching look. 70s inspired glasses — think oversized and chic — are also all the rage.

2. Clear Frames & Bold Colors 

You’ve probably noticed translucent frames are in, but this season you can switch it up with beautiful tints in green, citrine, rose, grey, and more. While translucent frames make a statement, they’re also neutral and thus make the perfect addition to outfits ranging from casual to formal.

For more color, consider soft pastels. These are perfect for the sunshine ahead and will emphasize the warm light on your features. Plus, they pair well with both muted and funky palettes.

3. Lens Treatments

A lens treatment gives lenses a bit of color while also providing UV protection. Unlike tinted glasses, you won't have to worry about them going too dark indoors and thus impeding your vision.

If you’re looking for a treatment that offers more practical advantages, try blue light filter lenses. These reduce the glare from your computer and other electronic devices and have an extra filter to keep your eyes comfortable after hours of looking at a screen.
