EYEWEAR TRENDS 2024 - THE MOST POPULAR MODELS READY To WEAR

This year impresses with intense colours, extravagant patterns and innovative polygonal frames.

1. BRIGHT TRENDS: EYEWEAR THAT EMPHASISES PERSONALITY

2024 is off to a colourful and unmissable start: sunglasses and prescription glasses in vibrant colours are setting the tone. From bright blue and vibrant red to intense purple and vivid green: anyone who sees their glasses as a personal trademark will find the perfect playground here. These trendy colours conjure up bright accents on the face - and also give a fresher, more youthful appearance, making them a must-have anti-ageing accessory. Another advantage: the eyewear trend has the right frame for every face shape: round lenses for angular contours, angular designs for round faces, cateye models for trapezoidal facial features and lots of other eye-catching shield glasses for all those who don't care about the shape of their face - but who like to be the centre of attention.   

Style tip
Hair colour and skin type can be used as a guide when choosing a colour. Contrasting colours (for example green glasses for red hair) or harmonious tone-on-tone variations set individual accents. Opticians are the right people to contact for type and colour advice. 

2. STRIKING PATTERNS: EYEWEAR THAT CATCHES THE EYE

2024 will be exciting, especially for people with an affinity for fashion! This year's eyewear trends are setting new standards with a variety of patterns. Whether dots, stripes, cool spots or dazzling interiors - every model is a real highlight. People who love plain-coloured outfits in particular can set accents with these glasses and create a skilfully designed overall look.  A harmonious effect is created when the colours of the glasses are also reflected in the outfit. Being bold is the order of the day! These glasses are also suitable as a second or third pair of glasses and guarantee admiring glances in both senses of the word.

3. RETRO REVIVAL: ROUND GLASSES REINTERPRETED

John Lennon would be delighted: in 2024, round glasses are experiencing a renaissance with a modern twist. Round glasses are now becoming fashionable, the retro charm of these glasses is being interpreted in a fresh and contemporary way. Classic metal eyewear in gold and silver will remain popular, but will face exciting competition from models with a matt finish, subtle Havana patterns and striking browline designs. A mixture of vintage flair and modern sophistication makes these glasses a must-have for everyone. Round glasses are particularly flattering for angular facial features and create a soft effect. They are also a stylish choice for oval face shapes.  

Extra tip:
Round glasses harmonise best when they follow the natural curve of the eyebrows and thus frame the face perfectly. 

4. ANGULAR ELEGANCE: POLYGONAL FRAMES

Oversized and eye-catching to the max: this is probably the most surprising eyewear trend of 2024. Polygonal frames These multi-faceted designs come in a wide range of styles - from metal to acetate frames in colours such as gold, silver, light blue, orange or green.  Whether frameless - ideal for short faces - in a two-tone look, with a colour gradient, plain or patterned, the angular silhouettes offer something for every taste. This style gives faces a striking elegance and emphasises your individual personality. Angular shapes paired with contrasting colours and compact frames are perfect for subtly conveying an assertive presence. In contrast, softer lines in pastel colours radiate warmth and empathy. The upper rim of the glasses deserves special attention: if it matches the brow contours, a harmonious overall look is created.

5. TEMPLES IN THE SPOTLIGHT: THE MUST-HAVES FOR 2024

In 2024, the temples will be the star of the outfit: Gone are the days when the focus was only on the front of the glasses - now eye-catching temples are attracting attention and setting fashionable accents on the side of the face. This year's sunglasses and prescription glasses feature creative details on the temples: from cut-outs, vibrant patterns and bold colours to unique shapes.   

Style tip
Wider temples are particularly suitable for short faces, as they emphasise the length of the face.

The eyewear trends are published annually together with the KGS, Kuratorium Gutes Sehen e.V. in Berlin.
