The world of eyewear is buzzing with excitement as we’ve now entered the latter half of 2024. The humble glasses have evolved from mere vision-correcting devices to fashion statements that can define one’s personality. But with the myriad of options available, how do you pick the right pair to complement your style and meet your visual needs? Glasses2you brings you the upcoming trends so you can keep your eyewear game strong and stylish.

The Shift in Eyewear

Eyewear has seen a significant shift in recent years. No longer confined to functionality, glasses have become an essential accessory, even a fashion statement. The challenge lies in finding frames that not only correct vision but also enhance one’s look and fit seamlessly into various aspects of life. Glasses2you, a trusted name since 2005, understands this dual need. With over 100,000 satisfied customers, this independent online retailer has been providing affordable, high-quality eyewear, helping consumers save money compared to high street prices.

Trendy Glasses for 2024

Retro Revival

The retro trend is making a strong comeback. Think cat-eye frames that channel the vintage vibes of the ’50s and ’60s. The Guess Marciano (£129.95) from Glasses2you embodies this trend perfectly, but adds a modern twist. Made with oval shaped full metal rims, these glasses give you a slim cat-eye with bronze and turquoise lining strips. It’s a chic choice for those looking to make a statement.

Minimalist Metal

For those who prefer a sleeker look, minimalist metal frames are the way to go. These frames offer a clean, sophisticated appearance that is both lightweight and durable. The Serpens (£24.95) combines thin metal frames with a modern shape, providing a contemporary look without compromising on comfort.

Colour Pop

Adding a splash of colour to your eyewear can instantly uplift your look. Vibrant hues and two-tone designs are trending, offering a playful yet stylish option. The Olivia (£39.95) features bold burgundy and blue accents, making it a perfect pick for those who like to experiment with colours.

Sunglasses Trends for 2024

Oversized and Glamorous

Oversized sunglasses continue to dominate the fashion scene. They offer not only extensive coverage but also an aura of glamour. The MA4621 3 (£29.95) from Glasses2you, with its large frames and superior sun protection, is ideal for making a bold fashion statement while keeping your eyes safe.

The Bold Accent

Some sunglasses you simply wear for the statement. Traditionally shaped lenses are great, but a bit of extra doesn’t hurt. This Ted Baker pair (£79.95) are sure to turn heads wherever you go, with their bold design, white with rose gold finish, and rose gold coloured arms. Perfect for those who want to break the mould.

Eco-Friendly Frames

Sustainability is now on the minds of the fashion-savvy, which makes it no surprise that eco-friendly frames made from recycled materials are becoming more popular. Glasses2you offers a range of sustainable options, like the Waterhaul Harlyn A (£27.95), crafted from recycled materials without compromising on style or durability.
