Why “Wuthering Heights” has got us craving round glasses
When Emerald Fennell’s latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights hit the screen, it wasn’t just the storylines or the choice of actors causing a stir, it was also the costume design. Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, the film has drawn attention for its deliberate departure from historical accuracy, and this is particularly apparent in the costume design. Far from a strict period drama, Fennell’s vision is a fashion fever dream, where glamour, opulence, and visual excess take centre stage.
Why round and oval glasses are having a moment thanks to “Wuthering Heights”
One scene in particular caught the eye of fashion obsessives everywhere: Margot Robbie’s Cathy lounging at a lavish summer garden party, draped in an extravagant period gown and, most strikingly, sporting small round pink glasses. The glasses make the look unmistakably modern, playful, and cool, and it instantly became a standout fashion moment from the film, with multiple Instagram accounts already paying homage.
On the press tour, Margot Robbie continued the theme, pairing round and oval eyewear with her outfits in a way that turned the glasses from an accessory into a full on style statement. Fashion publications and social media alike devoured the looks, cementing round glasses as an accessory to be coveted.
So, how can you wear round and oval glasses?
So, how can you incorporate the trend into your own look? Even if you don’t need prescription eyewear, there are luckily lots of options when it comes to treating yourself to some round glasses. Think reading glasses, blue blockers, sunglasses, or even fashion glasses (glasses with no lens strength).
Round and oval reading glasses
Round and oval reading glasses are more than a practical tool; they’re an effortless way to inject personality and polish into your look. They work with everyday outfits, or even something a bit more creative if you’re being inspired by Margot Robbie’s press tour looks!
Consider bolder colours (take inspiration and go for pink reading glasses!), and embrace the slightly retro feel that round reading glasses bring.
Round blue blockers
Blue blockers with round frames help protect your eyes from digital strain, and can even improve sleep quality, all without compromising on style. Round blue light blocking glasses are a subtle but transformative way to make eyewear part of your signature look, even if you don’t need a prescription.
Round and Oval Sunglasses
If you really want to channel Cathy's summer garden party look, round sunglasses are the perfect accessory. Choose pink or transparent frames to complete the look, and enjoy the quirky, retro look that round sunglasses are so good at creating.
Fashion glasses with no lens strength
If you’ve got 20/20 vision but simply want to embrace the trend of round glasses, fashion glasses with no lens strength are the way forward! At London Mole, we call our range of fashion glasses Zeros, due to the fact that they have zero lens strength- they purely exist to look good!
It’s time to embrace round and oval eyewear
This spring, round and oval glasses aren’t just trending, they’re a must-have for anyone who wants to mix practicality with a little cinematic glamour. Whether you choose round reading glasses, blue blockers, or Zeros, it’s time to let your glasses really make a statement.
