What's actually moving off our shelves this year — the shapes, colours and finishes women are asking for most.
Frame trends move slower than fashion trends generally do — a shape that's popular this year is usually still wearable in three — but a few clear patterns are showing up again and again in what women are actually asking for and buying right now.
Not the tiny, delicate rounds of a few years ago — bigger, slightly bolder round and soft-square shapes that read as confident rather than shy. They work especially well on angular face shapes, and they're one of the easiest ways to update a look without committing to a dramatic style.
The cat-eye hasn't gone anywhere, but the exaggerated, sharply upswept version has softened into something more wearable day to day — a gentler lift at the outer corner instead of a dramatic point. It's why cat-eye eyeglasses keep showing up across every age group, not just as a retro statement piece.
Instead of one solid color, a lot of what's moving right now mixes finishes — a crystal-clear front with a colored temple, or two acetate tones layered together. Transparent and clear frames in particular have become a genuine neutral, sitting somewhere between "no frame at all" and a full color statement.
Trends come and go, but black frames remain the one choice that never looks dated and pairs with literally everything in a wardrobe. If you only want to own one pair, this is usually still it.
The easiest way to wear a trending shape without it feeling like a costume: pick one bold element, not three. An oversized trending shape in a quiet neutral colour, or a bold colour in a shape you already know suits your face — not both at once.

Browse Trending Styles Ask on WhatsAppOversized soft-round shapes, softened cat-eye frames, and two-tone or transparent acetate are the styles we're seeing requested most right now, alongside classic black which never really goes out of style.
The clearest shifts are toward bigger, more confident round shapes, a gentler cat-eye lift instead of a sharp point, and mixed-finish frames that combine clear acetate with a colored accent.
Softer round and cat-eye shapes in lighter colors or transparent acetate are especially popular with younger women, often paired with a bolder accent color on the temple.
Two-tone and transparent frames are the newest arrivals in our range this season, alongside updated takes on cat-eye and oversized round shapes.
Frame trends move slowly compared to clothing — a popular shape today is usually still wearable in a few years. Picking one bold trend element rather than several at once keeps a trending frame feeling current for longer.
