It’s fair to say that over the last few years, reading glasses have had a definite glow up. Once seen as purely practical (and, dare we say, a tad boring), they have become a fashion statement in their own right. Reading glasses are now a style accessory as essential as your favourite shoes or handbag. So, what’s hot in the world of reading glasses right now? Let’s take a look at what’s trending…
Bigger is better
Oversized frames are having a serious moment. Think chunky, retro inspired styles that bring instant personality to your look. Whether you’re working from home or heading out with friends, large framed reading glasses are both flattering and eye-catching. Plus, they give you a bigger field of vision: not just stylish, but smart too!
Transparent frames
Reading glasses with clear and transparent frames are popping up everywhere, and for good reason. They go with absolutely everything and add a fresh, modern twist to your look. Whether you opt for a neutral tone or a splash of colour, these barely-there beauties are perfect for spring and summer wardrobes.
Reading glasses in bold colours
Why play it safe when you can go bold? Vibrant reds, greens, fluorescents, and patterned frames like tortoiseshell are bang on trend right now. They add a pop of fun to any outfit and are a fab way to show off a bit of personality, especially if the rest of your wardrobe leans more classic or minimal.
Reading glasses in retro shapes
We’re seeing a real throwback to vintage silhouettes, with cat eye, aviator, and round frames all making a stylish comeback. These timeless styles have been reimagined in modern materials and colours, making them easy to wear while still giving a nod to fashion eras gone by.
Reading glasses with matt and rubberised finishes
Gloss is great, but matt and rubberised finishes are stepping into the spotlight. They offer a sleek, understated vibe that feels contemporary and cool. Perfect if you want something a bit different without going too bold.
