How the rise of unisex fashion has changed the eyewear market

Once upon a time, shopping for glasses meant making a decision before you’d even tried anything on. Are you looking for men’s or women’s? Thankfully, those days are fading fast. Just like in fashion more broadly, eyewear is breaking down the gender binary, and looking all the better for it.

Unisex fashion has been steadily gaining ground for years. From runways to wardrobes, the focus has shifted away from “his” and “hers” to styles that speak to identity, attitude, and personal expression. It’s about how you feel in something, not which aisle you found it in. And nowhere is that shift more apparent than in the world of glasses and reading glasses.

Stylish reading glasses for everyone

At London Mole, we’re proud to be part of this movement. Our collection of reading glasses is thoughtfully designed to be worn by anyone, regardless of gender. Great design doesn’t need labels.

Whether you’re drawn to round reading glasses, square silhouettes, chunky rubberised frames, or fluorescent brights, our range is built on variety and versatility. Bold colours, soft neutrals, classic tortoiseshells, and contemporary finishes mean there’s a pair (or two) for every taste and every mood.

And when it comes to fit, our frames are made with all face shapes in mind, with comfortable designs that prioritise both function and flair.

Style beyond stereotypes

The move towards unisex eyewear isn’t just a passing trend, it’s a reflection of something deeper. People are increasingly rejecting the idea that accessories (or anything, really) should be dictated by outdated stereotypes. Reading glasses, like clothes, are a form of self expression, and self expression doesn’t come with gendered rules.

In the same way that fashion is embracing fluid tailoring, neutral tones, and cross genre styling, eyewear is evolving into a category that’s inclusive, imaginative, and open to interpretation.

The future of eyewear is stylish, cool, and unapologetically unisex, just like London Mole.
