1. Colourful Frames
If you’re looking to add a bit of personality to your eyewear, bold coloured frames are a brilliant place to start. They instantly brighten your face and bring a vibrant touch to your everyday look which is why they’re making a big comeback for winter.
Switching out your usual black, brown or metal frames for something more colourful might feel like a big step, but it’s one of the easiest ways to refresh your style. A pop of colour can lift even the simplest outfit and give your eyewear collection a fun, modern update. Our in-store teams can also help you find the right shade to complement your skin tone and wardrobe.
2. Oversized Retro Frames
Oversized retro frames are having a real moment this season with their bold, expressive, and full of vintage charm. These chunky acetate styles bring a hint of old-school glamour, but with a fresh, modern twist that feels right at home for winter. We’re also seeing geometric shapes like hexagons and octagons becoming more popular, adding an artistic edge to the classic oversized look.
Whether you prefer timeless hues, crystal-clear finishes or something more vibrant, oversized frames are perfect for anyone who loves to make a statement. Style them with a simple, neutral outfit and let your glasses take centre stage. And if you’re unsure which shape suits you best, our experts in-store are always happy to help you try the look with confidence.
3. Round Frames
Round eyeglasses are another standout trend making a return this season. With their effortlessly cool, artsy feel, round frames have long been loved for their ability to soften features and add a touch of individuality to any look. They come in a wide range of styles from bold acetate to lightweight, minimalist designs making them easy to tailor to your personal aesthetic.
If you’re unsure about colour, opting for a classic metal finish is a great place to start. It’s subtle, timeless, and ideal for anyone trying round frames for the first time. And if you’d like help finding the right size or material for your face shape, our team in-store can guide you through the options.
4. Transparent Frames
Clear frames continue to be a favourite for those who prefer a more understated look. This subtle, almost invisible style has grown in popularity over the past few seasons, and it’s set to remain a key trend for winter.
If you like your glasses to feel discreet while still looking stylish, transparent frames offer the perfect balance. The beauty of this trend is its versatility; you can confidently choose chunkier acetate styles without worrying about them overpowering your features. They’re also a great option for stronger prescriptions, as thicker frames can provide the support your lenses need. To make the most of the look, start by choosing a shape that complements your face. And if you’re not sure which style works best for you, our in-store experts are always happy to help you find your perfect fit.
5. Minimalist Rimless Frames
If understated elegance is your style, minimalist and rimless glasses are a trend you’ll love this season. These lightweight designs offer a clean, barely-there look that’s perfect for everyday wear especially if you prefer something refined, subtle, and effortlessly polished. Their simplicity makes them ideal for professionals, but they suit anyone looking for eyewear that complements rather than competes with their features.
Rimless and minimalist frames are often crafted from slim, durable metals, giving them a modern and sophisticated feel. Choosing finishes like gold, silver, or soft neutrals can elevate the look even further, adding a touch of luxury without being overpowering. If you’d like help finding the right minimalist frame for your face shape and lifestyle, our team in-store can guide you through the options.
