Popular Eyewear Trends for Men

1. Aviators

Aviators are timeless classic in men’s fashion. Whether you’re going for a vintage look or a modern trend, these iconic glasses are a fresh go-to look. Aviators bring out the best facial features on nearly every face shape. They also come in a wide variety of frame styles (the double-bridge look is especially popular right now). Suitable for professional wear or social outings, prescription aviator lenses will make you more confident than ever.

2. Clear Frames

Clear frames offer a minimalist and modern look that can effortlessly match any outfit. These trending eyeglass frames let your facial features take center stage while also providing a subtle hint of style. A pair of clear frames, such as the Chicago from COR Eyewear, are a versatile choice for the fashion-conscious man who values simplicity.

3. Round Frames

Round eyeglasses have become popular in many men’s fashion trends lately. Whether you’re going for a smart and sophisticated look or the classic 70’s and 80’s style rock-and-roll glasses, these circular lenses and round frames add a touch of vintage originality to your outfit. These eyeglass frames work particularly well for square or angular face shapes because they soften facial features and bring balance to your facial structure.

Check out the Lawrence and Kokomo from COR Eyewear, Art-Craft's WF483AM, or the B356 from Ted Baker London for a great pair of round prescription glasses.

4. Wayfarer Frames

The wayfarer design is well-known for its bold and distinct shape. The wayfarer frame shape is a safe, go-to look, perfect for men who are looking for a subtle pair of glasses. Wayfarer-inspired eyeglass frames are a fusion of tradition and modernity, making them suitable for any occasion. We offer the Dayton from COR Eyewear and a large selection of affordable New Wayfarer Classic RB2132 and RX5228 from Ray-Ban, as well as the Enhance 3954. 

5. Hipster Frames

Hipster eyeglass frames capture the essence of urban culture with their unique and eccentric designs. Most hipster eyewear has shapes featuring bold colors, unique shapes, and even crazy patterns. If you're a trendsetter who enjoys experimenting with your look, hipster eyeglass frames are a way to show self-expression. Double bridge glasses, such as the Milwaukee, are an especially popular pair of frames that we offer.

6. Browline Frames

Browline glasses and sunglasses blend seamlessly into your face. Their thick upper frame combined with thin lower rims make these glasses a great option for those in search of a more subtle pair of eyewear. Browline frames add depth to your facial structure and are particularly flattering for individuals with oval or square-shaped faces. Take a look at Dearborn by COR Eyewear.

7. Thin Frames

Oakleys are an example of thin frames that are a very popular men's eyewear trend. The reason thin-framed glasses are so popular with men is because they have the unique ability to be worn casually, for sport, and even for work. This multi-purpose functionality makes thin-framed glasses very cost-effective and affordable since you only need to buy one pair of glasses to have fashionable eyewear for any and every occasion.

8. Tortoiseshell Frames

Tortoiseshell glasses are a very popular color pattern right now and are available in every shape and style of eyeglass frames. If you are looking for a trendy pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses for everyday use, tortoiseshell frames may be the perfect style for you. Available in round, oversized, or angular frame shapes, Wisconsin Vision offers a variety of tortoiseshell glasses, including the Dubuque, Dearborn, Desna, and more from COR Eyewear.
