By Shan Khan, RO

As the leaves start to change and we cozy up for the fall season, it’s time to update your patients on the latest eyewear trends. This season, we’re seeing a delightful mix of classic styles and bold new looks for both men and women. Here’s your guide to the top fall 2024 optical frames and sunglasses trends for Fall 2024, featuring both major brands and independent designers.

Women’s Fall 2024 Eyewear Trends

Retro Revival: Vintage-inspired eyewear is making a strong comeback. Think oversized frames reminiscent of the 70s and 80s. Brands like Gucci and Tom Ford are leading the way with chunky frames in warm, earthy tones like caramel and burgundy. Independent designers like Ahlem are also offering unique takes on these retro styles, adding a modern twist to classic designs.

Cat-Eye Sophistication: The cat-eye shape is being reimagined with softer, more rounded edges and lightweight designs. Look for styles from Prada and Fendi, featuring neutral colours and transparent frames. For a more unique option, check out Anne et Valentin, Coco and Breezy, known for their artistic and refined cat-eye frames. These glasses add a touch of elegance and can be seamlessly integrated into both casual and formal wardrobes.

Embellished Details: Frames with delicate embellishments are trending this fall. Brands like Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana are incorporating metal accents, pearl inlays, and subtle engravings into their designs. Independent designers such as Anna- Karin Karlsson are also adding luxurious touches to their frames, ensuring that every pair stands out.

Bold and Geometric: Geometric shapes are a major trend this season. Hexagonal and square frames offer a modern, edgy look. Check out designs from Oakley and Ray-Ban in dark, matte finishes like black and gunmetal. For something different, Kuboraum offers bold geometric frames that make a strong, artistic statement.

Classic Aviators: Aviators are a timeless favorite, but this fall, they’re getting an update. Persol and Maui Jim are offering aviators with thicker frames and tinted lenses in autumnal shades such as amber and olive. Independent brands like Regsonn continue to set the standard with handcrafted frames that blend classic style with modern durability.

Mixed Materials: Combining different materials in one frame is a significant trend. Brands like Barton Perreira and Oliver Peoples are showcasing frames that mix metal and acetate, wood and plastic, or even leather accents. Independent designer Francis Klein offers frames with unique material combinations and intricate detailing for a one-of-a-kind look.

Tech-Integrated Eyewear: Smart glasses are becoming more prevalent, integrating technology with fashion. Bose Frames and Ray-Ban Stories offer eyewear that not only corrects vision but also features built-in tech for notifications, music, and more. Lucyd is an independent brand leading the way in smart eyewear innovation, combining sleek designs with advanced functionality.
