Latest Trends in 2020: Latest Eyeglass Styles

Eyeglasses have long been the most popular solution for patients who need to wear prescription lenses to improve their vision. However, as they sit directly on your face, they can make a dramatic difference to your appearance. With so many different types of eyeglasses being created every year, finding the perfect pair can feel like a minefield. Nevertheless, there will always be some styles that will be more popular than others. If you want to stay on-trend, you’ll need to know what these are and whether you can make them work for you.

Here’s what you need to know about the latest eyeglass trends of 2020.

 

Tinted translucent

One of the best ways to get eyeglasses to suit you is to choose frames that complement your skin tone. That is easier than ever thanks to the popularity of translucent tints, which are quickly replacing the completely clear frames of 2019. Crystal tints in greys, browns, golds, reds, and greens are particularly in demand as, despite the hint of color, they are still neutral enough to pair well with most outfits.

 

Rocking rimless

Rimless eyeglasses are often thought of as being fairly retro, but they are making a big comeback this year. Combined with modern shapes and sleek arms, this minimalist style looks great on everyone, whether worn with a casual outfit or when dressed up for a night on the town.

 

Modern aviators

Aviators are well known as a classic style of frame, but this year, the older teardrop shape is out, and nearly-but-not-quite-perfectly rounded style is hot and in demand. Choose from conventional steel or gold-plated designs, or the latest colored acrylics if you aren’t afraid to stand out from the crowd.

 

Cat-eye chic

Cat-eye frames were first seen in the 60s and 70s, but this playful design is bringing retro back for 2020 and beyond. Bold, bright and beautiful colors such as reds, greens, and tortoiseshell will give you a strong and confident look whenever you wear your glasses.

 

Quirky arms

Crazy colors and unusual designs are one of the most effective ways of adding a touch of uniquity to your style, and more eyewear designers than ever are now offering frames with unusual or even bespoke arms. Team your classic black horn-rims with bright orange arms or a whimsical design to add a splash of personality to your eyewear.

 

Eco-friendly frames

More than any other generation, millennials are driving the trend for eco-friendly, sustainable eyewear that doesn’t hurt the planet. Fortunately, socially and environmentally conscious frames are everywhere now, giving customers a wide range of choices. Some are made from recycled materials or are lovingly restored. Some providers even offer incentives such as planting a tree for every pair sold. If you are concerned about sustainability, then you’ll be keen to embrace the trend for eco-friendly eyewear in 2020 and beyond.
