Every season brings us something new in spectacle fashion. And now that most of the year is behind us, we can analyze and select the 2021 eyewear trends that come to the fore, and note which ones are already gradually becoming the past.

This fall is all about creating stunning and exciting outfits, using various colors in clothes and accessories. If you focus on eyewear trends, you can definitely be sure that spectacular and catchy models are in fashion now. Shape, color, size – to create a non-trivial image, designers choose everything flashy, provocative, standing out, and reflecting a bright personality.

Leading fashion houses such as Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent surprise the audience with new eyewear models from one show to the next, balancing between innovations, statement-making frames, and timeless designs, adding magnificent twists on old favorites to their collections. Celebrities instantly pick up on these fashion trends, complementing their images with frames that exude grace and sophistication or audacity and outrageousness.

Regardless of whether you prefer a classic form or rely on dramatic frames, the main focus this season is on colors and shades. The lenses also excite both in color – from completely transparent to jet black, and in shape – triangular, perfectly round, heart-shaped, or geometric.

Some of the permanent trends like a classic Cat-eye shape are, as always, present in the collections of all famous brands, but with a modern update like a narrower, more angular, or vice versa, with a smoother shape like in the collections of Valentino, Salvatore Ferragamo, Giorgio Armani or Bottega Veneta. The notorious Aviators this autumn are offered in angular styles and come with reflective and gradient lenses.

If you opt for sunglasses with black frames and black lenses this season, you will not go wrong. It can be an XXL size model, the Cat-eye style, or an unusual geometric shape, but the shades should be as dark as possible, like this Givenchy 7178/S model.

Who could walk past the extra huge sunglasses? Oversized sunglasses are glamorous, mysterious, defiant, providing excellent protection, and which is why they are especially sought after by celebrities and common folks alike. The Prada Monochrome PR 21XS from the latest collection of the famed Fashion House looks stunning featuring a thick chunky plastic frame. This luxurious accessory in an array of eye-catching tints will be one of the biggest hits of Fall 2021.
