Top 10 Eyewear Trends to Watch This Year – Curated With Care at Christopher Optical

At Christopher Optical, we believe eyewear should do more than help you see — it should help you express yourself. For over 30 years, our family-owned practice has been trusted to style Middle Tennessee with frames that elevate confidence, comfort, and personality.
When you visit us, you don’t just try on glasses — you experience personalized frame styling. We study your features, your style, your lifestyle, and even your favorite colors to find the frames that make you light up the moment you look in the mirror.
And because we hand-select only the finest eyewear, you’ll find luxury and designer favorites like Chopard, Bvlgari, Porsche Design, Silhouette, Wiley X, Fendi, Tom Ford, Dior, LaFont, Philipp Plein, Gucci, Armani, SALT, and more — all chosen for their craftsmanship, quality, and beauty.

Here are the year’s top trends our stylists are loving right now:

1. Oversized Classics
Big, bold, and full of personality — oversized frames are back in a major way. Perfect for statement lovers and confidence seekers.


2. Thin Metal Frames
Lightweight gold, rose-gold, and gunmetal styles offer a refined, modern minimalism that works on everyone.


3. Transparent Frames
Clear and frosted acetates continue to trend for their airy, fresh look. Our stylists love them for their versatility and brightening effect.


4. Eco-Friendly Materials
Today’s sustainable frames are stylish, durable, and responsibly made — perfect for anyone wanting fashion with purpose.


5. Geometric Shapes
Angles are in! From subtle to bold, geometric designs add interest without going over the top.

Tortoise has evolved with richer tones, larger patterns, and dual-blend effects. We’ll help you find a tone that complements your complexion beautifully.


7. Color-Forward Frames
Emerald, cobalt, amber, soft pastels, and rich earth tones are trending. Color is the easiest way to bring life to your look.


8. Retro Rounds
Intelligent, charming, and always in style — round frames get a fresh modern twist this year with lightweight materials and sleek rims.


9. Mixed Materials
Metal bridges paired with acetate fronts create a polished, fashion-forward aesthetic. Durable, comfortable, and unique.
