The world of men’s eyewear is shifting, offering fashion-forward men exciting ways to redefine their style and sophistication. The men’s glasses trends for 2025 combine timeless classics with innovative updates in design, colour, and materials. It’s all about blending bold statement pieces with functional yet chic designs that exude personality and confidence.
From frames to lenses, let’s uncover the key trends that dominate 2025 and help you discover the perfect eyewear to elevate your look.
Timeless with a Modern Edge
Sometimes the best innovations come from re-imagining the classics. This year, familiar frame styles get a fresh, contemporary update.
Oversized Frames
Oversized frames are making a strong statement in 2025, offering a bold and confident look that demands attention. These frames balance utility and fashion with their ability to complement sharp tailoring as easily as casual wear.
Jacques Marie Mage leads this trend with its masterful craftsmanship and luxurious designs, perfect for those who want to exude sophistication and individuality.
Pro Tip: Pair oversized frames with minimal accessories to keep your look modern and streamlined.
Vintage Round Frames
There’s no denying the timeless appeal of round frames. From their retro-glam origins to their current modern updates, round frames strike the perfect balance between nostalgic charm and everyday sophistication.
Brands like Oliver Peoples deliver refined round styles with subtle enhancements, such as unique finishes or textured details.
Aviator Frames
Whether for sunglasses or everyday eyeglasses, aviator frames remain a go-to style for their versatile and universally flattering shape. This enduring trend adds a sleek edge to any look. Garrett Leight and Jacques Marie Mage bring contemporary craftsmanship to aviator designs, making them lighter, sleeker, and more wearable than ever.
Browline Frames
For men who favour a polished yet retro aesthetic, browline frames strike the perfect balance. They’re sophisticated enough for formal occasions and chic enough for casual Fridays.
Barton Perreira’s take on this classic design combines artisanal attention to detail with effortless elegance.
Metal & Mixed Material Styles
Metal frames and mixed-material designs are redefining understated luxury. Sleek and durable, these frames allow for bold minimalism with intricate detailing.
Lindberg, known for their innovative approach to eyewear, offers minimalist metal designs that prioritize both comfort and style.
Take Chances with Colour & Material
The future of men’s eyewear isn’t just about shape; it’s also about bold textures and playful colour palettes.
Transparent Frames
Transparent frames continue to dominate as a minimalist option that easily pairs with any outfit. These frames add a modern, clean finish without overpowering your look.
If you’re to add some clarity to your ensemble, consider Lindberg transparent frames, which offer progressive designs with lightweight construction, or try Tomford transparent frames that come with a splash of colour. At West 10th Eyes, we also carry transparent frames from Garrett Leight, Barton Perreira, and Folc Romy.
Earth Tones
Natural shades like forest green, warm caramel, and subtle taupe make eye-catching statements, yet can suit many different occasions. Earth-toned frames are perfect for those who want their eyewear to feel grounded and organic.
Etnia Barcelona, Garrett Leight, Barton Perreira, and more—there is no lack of high-quality brands that offer striking earth-tone collections to add to your versatile wardrobe.
Bold Colours
For those looking to showcase individuality, bold colours command attention in 2025. From deep burgundy to vibrant cobalt blue, design houses like LA Eyeworks, Jacques Marie Mage and Kirk & Kirk amplify self-expression with frames that stand out in a crowd. These are perfect for those courageous enough to make eyewear the centre of their outfit.
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Choices
Sustainability is a growing priority in eyewear, and men’s frames in 2025 are reflecting this trend by combining eco-conscious materials with high design.
More brands are turning to recycled metals, bio-acetate, and plant-based materials to craft frames, reducing their environmental impact without sacrificing aesthetics. Look out for brands committed to sustainable innovation, such as Folc, Lapima and Rolf. Rolf’s Substance collection, for example, is crafted from a unique plant-based “plastic” derived from castor beans, offering both style and sustainability.
Beyond materials, ethical production plays a major role in the modern eyewear industry. Many leading brands prioritize fair labour practices and environmentally safe manufacturing methods.
One of our favourite brands, Jacques Marie Mage, utilizes eco-friendly materials like cellulose acetate, a renewable, plant-based material, and implements responsible production processes. They also support organizations focused on wildlife conservation.
This way, your frames can reflect both your style and your values.
Stay Screen-Ready with Anti-Glare Lenses
Technology continues to influence eyewear trends. In 2025, lenses are designed to meet the demands of screen-heavy lifestyles, seamlessly integrating functionality with high fashion.
For example, anti-glare coatings can help mitigate screen glare while maintaining a stylish edge. These lenses protect your eyes during long workdays, reducing strain caused by screen time. Anti-scratch coatings resist damage, which can keep your lenses pristine and clear.
Style meets practicality for men who demand more from their everyday eyewear.
How to Choose the Right Frames
Selecting the perfect pair of glasses is as much about practicality as it is about personal style. Here’s how to narrow down your options:
Consider Face Shape
Each face shape pairs best with specific frame designs. For example:
- Round Faces: Angular frames, such as square or rectangular shapes, offer balance.
- Oval Faces: Almost any frame style works, but oversized frames can create bold contrasts.
- Square Faces: Rounded or oval frames soften sharp angles.
Match Personal Style
Think about your lifestyle and wardrobe. Neutral, multi-functional frames are ideal for professionals, while bold designs may fit creative or adventurous personalities.
