The oversized angular

A luxury staple in womenswear collections, oversized frames are also making their way into the men’s eyewear market this year with mostly geometric designs, and some tinted lenses in soft hues to balance this maximalist look.

An early best seller this year has been the Ottoto Fefero, a squarish frame showcasing a soft touch of retro. For something with an extra touch of luxury, check out the Coach HC7120 frame, flaunting tinted lenses that blend in wonderfully with its golden sheen. And for something truly unique, go for the Yoji Kaito, and wow everyone with a bold rimless glasses look.

Eco-conscious frames

We put a greater emphasis on sustainability with more eco-friendly frames, and green (in spirit, not necessarily in color) glasses will take center stage this year and for the foreseeable future.

Popular Sustainable Shapes

Oversized Wrap Wayframe Square Oval Round

The Cormorant is the most popular frame from our SeaClean collection, crafted from 100% upcycled plastic that’s lightweight and durable without compromising on style – it even comes in an eco-friendly glasses pouch, also made from 100% recycled materials.

We’re also integrating more and more sustainable items into our private labels like Revel, with the Revel Sidestep, a best-selling style crafted from bio-acetate, available in a wide variety of colors, including two shades of green.

If you want some designer flair with your eco-friendly pair, Costa sunglasses are the perfect choice for you. The Costa Del Mar Fantail and Costa Del Mar Rincon have been extremely popular since the new year kicked off.

Athletic-inspired frames

Sporty eyewear and sunwear looks, even without actually wearing them for sports, have been showing up more and more over the last few years. Whatever the main reason behind it – sports glasses continue to trend for the upcoming seasons, as seen on fashion show runways.

The perfect pair? It all depends on what you’re looking for. You can browse our selections of glasses for running, basketball, cycling, winter sports and more!

And if you’re just into performance style, we’ve got you covered with some amazing options like the Oakley OO9102 Holbrook, perhaps the quintessential poster child for this genre; the Pentax ZT200 which is also an excellent choice for safety glasses; and my personal favorite – the Oakley Limit Switch 0.5 – built from ultra lightweight and durable titanium, adding a sophisticated touch to all-day function.

Tinted lenses

The tinted lenses trend crosses over into the others with an extra touch of color to your eyeglasses, but this insert of music festival culture into mainstream eyewear deserves its own place.

The tinted look is available with a huge selection of our frames – just add Transitions lenses, or tints in a wide variety of colors. Yellow tinted glasses are extremely popular right now. Simply select your preferred option when choosing a lens type, and add a fresh touch of color to your look.
