Is 2025 the year that you’re going to try reading glasses for the first time? Or maybe you’ve been hearing about the benefits of blue blockers, or noticed the current trend for fashion glasses? Or perhaps you’re looking for some new sunglasses to accompany you on the holiday you’ve just booked to banish the January blues!
Whatever type of glasses you’re looking for, you’ll want to be up to speed with the eyewear trends we’re seeing coming through for 2025. Look no further: here’s our roundup of what’s hot in eyewear fashion for the coming year…
Oversized and statement frames
Bold, oversized frames were rising in popularity in 2024 and are set to dominate the fashion scene in 2025. Think bold, structural frames, dramatic cat eye glasses, and chunky rubberised designs. These frames make a statement and double as a fashion accessory as well as being functional.
Transparent and neutral tones
Transparent frames in subtle colours such as beige, honey, and clear will continue to be popular into 2025. The neutral tones and transparent nature of these frames mean that they’re incredibly versatile, while at the same time being totally fresh and modern.
Blue blockers
There’s no doubt that we’re all spending more and more time on screens, and this has given rise to the trend of blue blockers, or blue light blocking glasses. We’ve talked here about the benefits of blue blockers, and also why they’re a must for gamers. For 2025, blue light blocking glasses remain a must have, but this coming year we can expect stylish designs that make blue blockers a fashionable as well as functional choice.
Vintage inspired glasses
Retro styles are making a strong comeback, with round frames, aviators, cat eye designs, and styles inspired by the 70s and 80s. These timeless designs offer a nostalgic yet contemporary look, and add a quirky, stylish twist to reading glasses or sunglasses.
Bold colours and patterns
At London Mole we’ve always had a soft spot for reading glasses in bold colours and patterns; we design eyewear for the adventurous after all! Glasses and sunglasses in vibrant colours are trending for the coming year. Unique patterns, such as tortoiseshell in unconventional colours, are also on trend for 2025.
Fashionable reading glasses
‘Fashionable reading glasses’ may be an eyewear trend for 2025, but it is also London Mole’s entire ethos! We believe that reading glasses should be more than just functional; they should be a pleasure to wear, and compliment your look and your style. Luckily, the rest of the fashion world has finally caught up with us, and in 2025 reading glasses will become a style statement. Look for fun colours, stylish silhouettes, and modern materials such as rubberised finishes, that elevate your reading glasses from functional to fashion.
Yellow lenses
Yellow lens glasses and sunglasses are having a moment.
Yellow tinted glasses are set to gain popularity this year thanks to their unique visual appeal and potential benefits. Yellow tinted glasses are known for their glare reducing properties; they are thought to filter out excessive brightness and reduce the discomfort caused by glare from headlights, streetlights, or the sun. This makes them particularly useful for nighttime driving or outdoor activities in bright sunlight. The tinted lenses offer a warm, golden hue that can enhance contrast and depth perception in certain lighting conditions. Besides, yellow lenses instantly put you in a good mood! No wonder they’re an eyewear trend for the coming year.
