2026 Glasses Trends: What's In This Year

Eyewear in 2026 is leaning bold, expressive and a little retro. Whether you're after a subtle refresh or a statement frame, here's what's shaping our 2026 collection and how to pick the right style for you.

Top Frame Shapes for 2026

  • Cat-eye, reimagined: Softer, less exaggerated angles than the sharp cat-eye of previous years — flattering on most face shapes and available in both subtle and oversized versions.
  • Oversized square and rectangle: Bold, confident frames that make a statement without needing bright colour.
  • Geometric and octagonal acetate: A retro-inspired shape trending back into modern eyewear, especially in tortoiseshell and transparent finishes.
  • Rounded and vintage-retro acetate: Soft, classic silhouettes for a timeless everyday look.

Colours & Materials Trending in 2026

  • Tortoiseshell acetate remains the most versatile 2026 neutral — pairs with almost any wardrobe.
  • Transparent and translucent frames in green, blue and amber tones for a lighter, modern feel.
  • Bold colour blocking — black, blue, red, cyan and orange combinations for those wanting a statement piece.
