Glasses: What’s In
Style for
2023?

Call it animal magnetism if you want, but one of life’s few certainties is that cat-eye frames will always come back around. Talk about having nine lives – from Marilyn Monroe to Lisa Loeb to Kendall Jenner, these feline frames are the epitome of everlasting fashion.

Channel your inner old Hollywood glamour girl by adopting a classic feminine silhouette a la Oh Mama, or embrace this cat’s modern-day descendants with the oh-so-bold Overlook.

If traditional frames tend to overwhelm your delicate features, consider not-so-heavy metals your silver bullet. Barely-there pairs can be seen everywhere nowadays, so if you tend to associate wire-rimmed glasses with your grandmother’s spectacles, it’s time to reframe your perspective. Trust us: this minimal style is the height of fashion, whether your alter ego leans more sexy librarian or mystical muse.

Go topless with the half-rim Peek Performer, or lean into a vintage-y vibe with the teensy Teddy.

Hey there, bright eyes: here’s a trend that’s nothing short of incandescent. If you’ve ever secretly wanted to temporarily blind onlookers with the sheer intensity of your eyewear, now’s your chance. Riotous colors and ultra-bold shades are red-hot this year, from rich jewel tones to hyper-neon hues.

Go ahead, look on the bright side. We’d recommend doing so through Clearly… in emerald green or Number Cruncher in Fuschia.

Feel free to feast your eyes upon our collection of women’s glasses for further inspiration.

Stuck in the ‘70s? This is your year, because the disco decade is back with a vengeance. Vintage-inspired aviators make excellent copilots when it comes to transforming your look from so-so to suave. Just look out for any sudden urges to grow a Burt Reynolds mustache.

Lock and load this high-flying frame in your style of choice: thin wire frames like Turbulence, or chunkier-rimmed attention-grabbers like Spindle.

If it isn’t broke … you know the rest. There’s a good reason sleek black frames are ever-popular among the most debonair of gentlemen. They’re pretty much the last word in versatility, carrying you from lazy Sunday mornings spent with a coffee and the paper to stuffy white-tie work events. Look at you, making sophistication look easy.

Try C Suite in black to exude a corner-office type aura, or Old Sport in black grey fade for a clever variation on this classic style.

Go ahead, make John Lennon proud. Instead of going in circles searching for a frame that’s both functional and fashionable, simply embrace the circle. With a shape that allows for some added visual interest while incorporating all that 70’s groovy goodness into your look, it’s really no wonder these frames are getting around this year.

Go full circle with Wisecracker, or add a bit of an edge with Total Wit.

For more strapping frames, take a gander at our men’s designer eyeglasses collection.

At last, audacious eyewear has made its way into the mainstream, and we’re catching sight of geometric frames from all angles. Thank goodness, because your singular style needs unexpectedly extraordinary frames to match. Asymmetric, octagon, diamond, dodecahedron – a frame takes many shapes, and this trend gives you the perfect excuse to embrace the most unorthodox of them.

For a virtual treasure trove of geometric goodness, peep our Lake & Harriet collection.

Let’s make one thing clear: transparent frames are all the rage this year. This frame style manages to be simultaneously laid-back and striking, adding a seriously un-serious cool factor to any look. From the library to the discotheque, these chameleonic crystalline frames will be your steadfast companions.

Enjoy your newfound clarity in Biff or TV Party in crystal or view our other clear readers.

When we encourage you to live large, we hope you know that sentiment extends to your frames – this year especially. Oversized, chunky glasses are back from their brief hiatus, re-taking the stage from teeny ‘90s goggles.

 Try the aptly named Large and in Charge or Guy Normis on for size, and watch how everyone assumes you’re an even bigger deal than your frames.

Craving even more newness? We hope you’ve caught sight of our new arrivals. If not, now you have. You’re welcome.
