Clear Eyeglasses

Clear glasses frames became popular in 2020 and are continuing to top lists of the latest eyewear trends for 2021. In fact, these styles are so popular that fashion designers have put them on runways around the globe. The clear nature also translates to some of the latest clothing and accessories to match.

Clear glasses frames look great in a range of shapes and sizes. But particularly trendy are oversized frames. You can choose from totally clear designs or those tinged with a hint of color. Both men and women, young and old, look great in these noteworthy choices.
 

Thick-Rimmed Geometrics

Hexagon-shaped glasses frames are seriously on trend for 2021. You can go for extreme angles and edges or choose a subtle style with softer corners. The beauty of geometric eyewear trends is their ability to suit almost any face shape. They work well for people who typically wear round or squared frames.
 

Translucent Nude Frames

Translucence is very popular among eyewear trends for 2021. These glasses frames range from barely-there nudes to dusty pinks. The color subtlety warms your wardrobe and skin tone while feeling breezy and fresh for the new year. Choosing a toned-down color like these nudes and pinks make coordinating with your wardrobe easier. Like any great neutral piece, you can dress these styles up or down without missing a fashion beat.
 

Large, Round and Vintage

Some of the most popular glasses frames for 2021 look like styles straight out of the 1970s and early 1980s. They are large, round and fashionably vintage. You can imagine Lynda Carter of Wonder Woman wearing any of these hot eyewear trends, especially since she was the queen of bespectacled appeal. These styles work great for square and rectangular face shapes, in particular.

While oversized round frames are a bold statement, they also dress down very well. You can pair them with your best suit for serious business or soften the look with jeans and a sweater. Today’s round vintage frames are also available in bold colors if you want to make a bigger impact. The size is eye-catching and draws people into your face, giving you plenty of attention for the new year.
 

Tortoiseshell Trends

The tortoiseshell trends of 2020 continue in 2021. In fact, when has tortoiseshell of one form or another ever gone out of style? Today’s selections have unique patterns as a sort of play on the old reptile theme. No longer are you restricted to browns, either. You can choose from a broad color palette to make the tortoise print your own.
 

Squares from the 1970s

Big round frames are not the only 1970s options on our glasses frames list for 2021. Square frames are making a comeback, too. These vintage silhouettes use big proportions and thickness to compliment square and rounded face shapes for effortless appeal.
 

Gold Rims

If you need eyewear suited to the workplace, you can choose the professional glasses frames designers are talking about for 2021. Gold metal frames are making a comeback in round shapes, in particular. However, you cannot go wrong with any shape in thin, lightweight gold metal.

Double-bridge aviators are particularly popular. In fact, many celebrities have recently made tabloid pages wearing gold aviators, despite not needing a prescription. Thin gold metal is so cool and alluring that everyone wants to hit the streets in them!
 

Cat Eyes

Cat eye glasses are another eyewear trend that never goes out of style. This is particularly true for 2021, when ladies all over the country are gravitating toward these glasses frames. Cat eyes are the quintessential librarian look, playing well in business and academia. But they also provide instant allure in off-duty hours, too.

Get playful with your cat eyes by choosing bold colors like reds or pinks. This shape works well for the translucent and clear trends, too. But, of course, you can never go wrong with a pair of tortoiseshell or deep black. The shape naturally evokes mystery and intelligence.
 

Black Hipster Frames

Black glasses are making an impact everywhere for 2021, particularly in square silhouettes. Wearing these glasses frames you look like a real superhero before the quick change in a phone booth. Everyone looks and feels smarter in these eyewear trends that instantly imply confidence, intelligence and a certain seriousness. Creative types, in particular, love the bold black hipster styles. Even better, you can wear them for as long as you like because they rarely go out of style.
