Back-to-School Looks 2024

Before you shop for fall 2024 trends in glasses

However, resist the urge to immediately start shopping for new frames. As you transition back to your regular routine, it’s crucial to have your vision checked. A comprehensive eye exam will ensure your prescription is up-to-date for optimal and comfortable vision. Be sure to talk to your optometrist about any changes to your optical health, such as blurriness, double vision, floaters, halos around lights, etc. Discuss any instances of consistent eye strain, eye discomfort (dryness, itching, burning, or excessive tearing), sensitivity to light, and frequent headaches.

Work long hours in front of a computer? Consider upgrading your eyewear to include lenses with blue light protection, which can make long days at the office more comfortable by reducing eye fatigue from digital screens. 

You may also want to inquire about getting transition lenses, which not only feature blue light filtering but also, as the name implies, adjust to varying light conditions. 

Transition lenses darken in response to UV light, becoming darker with more intense UV exposure. Indoors or in low light, they return to a clear state. Advances in technology have improved the speed and intensity of this transition, ensuring the lenses stay virtually clear indoors.

What’s in style for glasses in autumn 2024?

This fall, eyewear draws heavily from the '70s and '80s styles, bringing retro vibes back into fashion. 

On the other hand, "Quiet luxury" continues to thrive. This trend emphasizes understated “old-money” styles, high-quality materials and superior craftsmanship without any overt branding. 

In other words, whether you want to leave a bold or muted impression, you are in luck with 2024 fall eyewear.

Here are some of the most popular styles we have observed with fashion houses and on celebrities. 

Cat eye frames never seem to run out of style. While revamping your autumn wardrobe, look out for frames in tortoiseshell and black for a sophisticated and sleek look. Perfect for both professional settings and casual outings, they effortlessly combine elegance with a hint of playfulness.

Aviators are also very much on-trend, a nod to two decades known for their distinctive and lasting impact on fashion. The fall 2024 runways saw aviator frames predominantly in gold metal or a mix of gold and silver paired with either gradient or uniform hues. Square aviator frames in thin and thick acetate are also hot picks of the season as they meld vintage charm with modern aesthetics. 

Oversized square frames in black or warm colours, including tomato red, green, and blue, have been runway favourites, especially in thick acetate, lighter materials, and metal. 

Not to be outdone by only aviators, other models are popping up with gradient transparent frames and tinted transparent frames in eye-catching shades: translucent green, burnt brown, spiced yellow, blue-gray, and cinnamon are very much in vogue.

Bayonet frames, characterized by their narrow, librarian-like design, are making a comeback. You can find models with different thicknesses of acetate, beta-titanium, and rimless frames. The iconic pantos shape has replaced rounder silhouettes, offering a softer look that flatters many different face shapes.

Discover a kaleidoscope of materials and colours

High-end eyewear brands continue to innovate their designs with materials like beta titanium, 3D-printed nylon for sports frames (particularly Dior), wood, and buffalo horn, highlighting the lightness, comfort, and elegance of these luxury products. 

The latest must-have colours for fall 2024 include vermillion, burgundy, green, burnt brown, tortoise, blue, spiced yellow, aubergine, and white.
