It’s hard to predict the future but these glasses trends for 2024 will definitely help you see what’s next on the horizon in the fashion world. While other style trends can help determine a first impression or vibe when meeting someone new, glasses make the biggest impact. Anyone who looks you in the eye has no choice but to notice the glasses sitting in the middle of your face. 

There’s obviously a lot of pressure to pick the perfect pair of glasses but there’s also a lot of opportunity— and with so many different options from the glasses trend roundup for 2024, you really can’t go wrong. You’ll want to find a pair of glasses, whether that’s a prescription pair or sunglasses, that add to and elevate the essence of your personal style. Glasses can help transform or solidify your style identity and could even become a part of your signature look. 

If you’ve been avoiding your prescription glasses in favor of contacts, I’ve got some news for you—there has never been a cooler time to wear glasses. Celebrities, designers, and models have incorporated eyeglasses into their looks for the sake of an aesthetic. Miu Miu went preppy, Victoria Beckham went vintage, and Ulla Johnson is bringing us back to the ‘70s. As someone who has 20/20 vision (sorry to brag), I have actually started seeking out glasses with clear or blue light lenses just to get in on the styling opportunity. I love how adding a simple pair of frames can inspire a new wave of confidence and identity. 

Of course, you don’t have to just take my word for it. Emma Chamberlain, Gen Z YouTube creator turned style icon, just launched a new collection of glasses with Warby Parker. The collection features Chamberlain’s favorite styles of Warby Parker glasses in three new shades. That’s right, colored frames are in for 2024. 

If you’re uninterested in ditching your contacts or becoming a faux-glasses wearer (like me), I still have good news for you. Most of the glasses trends for 2024 translate into sunglass trends as well. You can have fun with bright red sunglasses (Emma Chamberlain provides inspo yet again) or stick with classic metal frames (Ray-Ban is always a good choice). 

When it comes to glasses trends, all that really matters is how you see your favorite style. Keep reading for the six glasses trends we’re eyeing for 2024.
