What Glasses Are in Style Right Now?

What Glasses Are in Style Right Now?

January 03, 202502:46 PM

A stylish pair of glasses can significantly upgrade your overall look. If you’re not sure which frames to order, we’re here to help you out.

Below, we’ve put together an in-depth guide to the best on-trend glasses styles to check out this year. Take a look and find the perfect pair for you.

1. Trendy Cat-Eye Frames

Cat-eye glasses have been in fashion since the ‘50s, and they’re showing no signs of going out of style. These frames are perfect for anyone who wants to add a little flair to their outfits, and with Pair, you can add even more flair thanks to our magnetic top frames.

The cat-eye style is equal parts retro and modern. It’s reminiscent of classic movie stars like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, but it’s also right at home on the streets of NYC in the 2020s. We have full faith that this style will stand the test of time.

If you want a perfect pair of cat-eye glasses, look no further than The Wanda. These medium-sized cat-eye frames are full of feminine flair and unique character. They come in plenty of different colors, including clear, black, blue, and multiple shades of tortoise.

Cat-eye frames like The Wanda are perfect for just about any face shape, including heart, diamond, square, round, triangle, and more. Made from durable acetate, these frames will stand the test of time and hold up to everyday wear and tear.

You can make your cat-eye frames complete with a set of unique Top Frames from the Pair shop. These toppers seamlessly attach to your glasses to give them a whole new look, and you can swap them out for another style in seconds.

2. Bold Oversized Frames

Oversized glasses are all the rage right now, and there are plenty of reasons why we love them. They draw attention, and they’ve got an amazing power to make you feel larger-than-life and ultra-confident. If you’re looking for a major confidence boost and a new style, oversized glasses are for you.

The Murphy is one of our favorite oversized frames. Its new-fashioned feel is inspired by style icons like RuPaul, Oprah, and many others, and it’s an ideal fit for most adult faces. These glasses are available in colors ranging from clear to pink, and you can customize them with any Top Frame you choose.

We recommend oversized frames like The Murphy if you want a total glasses makeover. Wearing an oversized pair of specs can feel pretty different at first — especially if you’re used to a smaller set of rectangular or round glasses — but the impact these frames have on your look is just as big as they are.

3. Retro Round Glasses

Like cat-eye glasses, round frames have a distinctly ‘50s look that’s reminiscent of some of the best poets and artists of that decade. If you want to have a bookish, intellectual vibe that’s a bit mysterious, a nicely rounded pair is perfect for you.

We recommend checking out frames like The Soto if the round eyeglass style appeals to you. These frames are a vintage spin on a versatile, classic shape, and they pair especially well with oval, square, and oblong face shapes.

We think round frames like The Soto are a fantastic option if you have an appreciation for all things vintage. Just like cat-eye glasses, round frames like these are sure to stay in style for decades to come, and they’ve never gone out of vogue since the ‘50s.

4. Mixed Material Frames

If you want a more modern, cutting-edge look, mixed-material frames are a stylish option that’s worth trying. These glasses are equal parts trendy and timeless, and they can add some extra depth and texture to your outfits by blending distinct elements like metal and plastic.

Our favorite set of mixed-material frames is The Kirby, a sleek rectangular pair that looks perfect on oval and round faces. It’s a larger pair that draws attention to the eyes without being too loud or distracting.

The Kirby comes in two colors: crystal clear and black. These frames are made from a combination of metal and acetate, so there’s a striking contrast between the different parts of the frames that look fantastic in either color.

5. Tortoiseshell Glasses

Tortoiseshell frames are timeless and always in style. This appealing mix of black, brown, and gold hues draws attention without being distracting, and it’s subtle enough to work with formal and casual outfits.

We recommend tortoise frames if you want to future-proof your glasses. While other patterns and colors might not always appeal to you as much as they do now, we can almost guarantee that you’ll always love the classic tortoise pattern.

The Larkin is one of our favorite tortoiseshell frames. It’s a narrow, modified rectangle frame that’s perfect for oval and round faces. In addition to tortoise, it’s available in colors like clear, black, and even pink. Of course, you can always switch up the color and style with a Top Frame of your choice.

Tortoiseshell used to be a go-to material for eyeglass frames. However, we’re not fans of any form of cruelty to animals. That’s why at Pair, we emulate the tortoiseshell pattern using acetate instead of the original material. Save the turtles!

6. Chunky Square Frames

Geek chic is a fun style that has taken on many forms over the years. One of the mainstays of this nerdy, trendy look is a big, black pair of square eyeglasses.

A pair of black square specs is essential if you love the geek chic style. These glasses are equal parts bookish and fashionable, and they match well with both casual and formal fits.

The Drew is our top pick for the geek-chic look. These black square frames are extra wide, making them perfect for oval, round, and triangle-shaped faces. They can really make your eyes pop, especially when paired with a vibrant Top Frame.

You can level up the geek factor on these glasses by trying out some Top Frames with a pattern based on your favorite fandom, whether that’s Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel, or beyond. We have all of the above in the Pair Shop!

7. Clear Frames

Stylish and modern, clear glasses frames have a minimalist look that has become popular in the last decade or so… and we predict this eyewear trend will last for years to come.

Transparent frames are ideal for you if you’re a glasses wearer who prefers to cover as little of your face as possible. With the right frame style, you can achieve a “no-glasses glasses” look that many find appealing.

One of our favorite spins on this eyeglasses trend is a colored, clear frame. Nearly all of the frame shapes in the Pair shop are available in blue clear and pink clear, both of which can give you a fashion-forward, modern look that will turn heads.

If you’re interested in jumping on the colored clear glasses trend, we recommend checking out The Finley, a narrow rectangle frame that’s extremely versatile and ultra-cool. Ideal for oval or round faces, these glasses are also available in tortoise, black, and more shades.

8. Blue Light Glasses

Even if you don’t need prescription glasses, you can still upgrade your style and take care of your eyes with blue light-filtering lenses.

If you work on a computer regularly or spend lots of time using other digital devices, blue light lenses might be perfect for you. Available in plenty of different styles, these can be either non-prescription or prescription lenses, and they filter out the blue light that emanates from your phone, laptop, and other tech.

Wearing blue light glasses during screen time is a fantastic way to practice everyday eye care. Plus, with durable, stylish acetate frames and plenty of different styles to choose from, the blue light glasses in the Pair shop always look amazing.

How To Wear Glasses in 2025: Our Style Tips

It’s a new year, which means it’s the ideal time to change the way your glasses fit into your personal style.

Here are a few tips to help you feel comfortable and confident in your glasses in 2025 and beyond.

Define Your Personal Style

We made some recommendations for stylish, trendy glasses up above, but you’ll need to make the final decision for yourself. Finding and defining your personal style doesn’t have to be hard; it just takes some research and trial and error.

To figure out what look is best for you — in terms of glasses and your outfits as a whole — try finding some inspiration from apps like Pinterest and Instagram. Look for people who wear glasses in a way that inspires you and makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. There’s nothing wrong with “copying” someone who inspires you with how they rock their glasses.

If you need more help figuring out what style of glasses works best for you, make sure to check out the rest of our Pair Eyewear blog. You’ll find plenty of inspiration, including rundowns on up-and-coming trends like the office siren aesthetic, the clean girl aesthetic, and more.

Experiment With Patterns

If you aren’t a fan of solid-colored glasses, you’re in luck. The Pair shop is full of Top Frames, which magnetically attach to all of our Base Frames to create an entirely new look. These Top Frames come in a huge variety of colors and styles, giving you endless opportunities to create your own unique look and find the best glasses for you.

For example, a leopard-print Top Frame can breathe life into your look by adding a pop of high-contrast color. If you’re not in the mood for the pattern, you can always slip off the top frame and rock your Base Frames on their own.

Own More Than One Pair

If you only have one pair of glasses, you might end up feeling a bit limited. Certain styles don’t always work well with every outfit, and even the most versatile glasses can’t pair with 100 percent of your wardrobe. That’s why we recommend keeping a few different styles handy at all times.

With Pair, you don’t have to buy a whole new frame to diversify your look. Instead, you can pick up a new Top Frame and completely overhaul your look for about $25. Plus, you can store multiple Top Frames in one of our specialized glasses cases.

Of course, your lineup of glasses wouldn’t be complete without a pair of shades. Whether they’re transitional or standalone sunglasses, you need at least one pair. You can use a Sun Top to turn your eyeglasses into shades, or you can opt for transitional lenses that respond and adapt to sunlight. Whichever you choose, you’ll get a style upgrade and protection from UV Rays.

Try (Virtually) Before You Buy

You don’t need to fly blind when looking for new glasses. Our virtual try-on feature makes it incredibly easy to take a pair for a test drive. All you need to do is upload a picture of yourself facing forward, line up the virtual glasses with your eyes, and see what you think.

Stay Stylish in 2025

A new year means new trends, and staying on top of those trends can be fun, exciting, and rewarding. Switching up your eyeglasses can make you feel like you’re getting a full makeover and keep you in sync with the styles of the moment.

With Pair, you have access to countless new looks all the time — we’re always adding to our lineup of Top Frames. Stay up-to-date by checking on our selection of new arrivals!
