Eyewear Styles for 2024
We all know picking the right frames for our new glasses can be tough. Correcting our vision is just the beginning; eyewear is a fashion statement. But with so many trends, where do you even begin? In this blog, we will go over several of 2024’s eyeglasses and frame trends.
Soft Serve Your Look: Gradient Frames
Do you love the idea of a colorful frame but want something softer? Look no further than the gradient frame. This ombre effect offers a gentler approach to bold and dark frames, brightening your face without overwhelming it. Think browns transitioning into teals or tortoiseshells blending into cobalt blue. Gradient frames are a great way to add a touch of personality without going overboard.
Effortlessly Chic: Transparent Frames
For a timeless and subtle look, transparent frames are the way to go. With their seamless complement to any skin tone and face shape, it makes them a versatile choice. Want to experiment with a bolder look? Try chunkier acetate frames. Feeling playful? Soft pastel tints like peach, pink, or sunshine yellow can add a touch of brightness.
Going Big or Going Home: Oversized Frames
Oversized frames remain on top in 2024, offering a flattering option for every face shape. Large, round frames soften square and long faces, while oversized squares can help sharpen rounder features. Aviator glasses are universally flattering, especially for oval and heart-shaped faces. Remember, though, bigger isn’t always better! Consider the impact on functionality – oversized frames often translate to heavier glasses and thicker lenses. Let us help you with lens materials that can reduce weight and thickness.
Embrace Your Individuality: Geometric Frames
If you crave a unique and eye-catching look, geometric frames might be your perfect match. These frames, featuring sharp corners, asymmetry, and bold colors, are taking runways and optical shops by storm. Angular frames are surprisingly versatile, working with a variety of face shapes. They can sharpen round or oval faces and soften strong jawlines with rounder octagonal styles. Geometric shapes are going beyond hexagons, with bolder combinations of angles and softer lines. They’re also moving beyond metal frames and reinventing themselves in playful acetate.
Choosing Your Perfect Pair
With so many amazing trends to choose from, how do you pick the right pair? Here are some things to consider:
- Face shape: Certain frames flatter specific face shapes. Consider consulting with an optician to find your perfect match.
- Color: Black is a classic, but it can be overpowering. Explore alternatives like tortoiseshell, navy, or crimson for a stylish look without draining color from your face.
- Functionality: While oversized frames are trendy, consider the impact on weight and peripheral vision. Talk to your optician about lens options that balance style and function.
Experiment and have fun! Use this blog as a starting point and you’re sure to find the perfect pair of eyeglasses to fit your look and unique style.
