2021 eyewear trends
Explore glasses trends inspired by the FW21/22 catwalk, get a refresher on the (still-hot) eyewear trends from 2021.
Delicate pastels

The word for this trend is delicatessence – frames you’d wear to drink tea and eat tiny sandwiches. Glasses for a country lane bike ride. Eyewear that’s as quaint as a picnic basket.
It’s all about pretty pastels, gentle shapes, and styles that make you feel cute.



Café colours

Ease into your routine with frames that are as laid-back as your coffeehouse playlist. Neutral, earthy tones take form in campus-ready, retro shapes.
The result? Classic, versatile comfort that’s as reliable as your morning brew.



Time-to-shine tones

You’re already memorable – so wear glasses that can keep up with your vibe. Look out for oversized shapes in crayon-box colours that will give your ensemble a pop.
Equally great for establishing your 2022 signature look or days you’re feeling a little extra.



Industrial minimalism

This season, minimalism meets street-style. Think uniform: industrial, streamlined lines – we’re talking excessive pockets, boxy silhouettes, and unapologetic monochromatic magic. Say that three times fast.
Bring your eyewear on board and look for understated, timeless styles. We’re loving versatile yet distinct thin acetate or metal frames in bold shapes.



Future is now

Dress up for your first foray into the metaverse (or exploring imaginary islands on your Switch – whatever floats your futuristic boat).
The future is now and these glasses are ready for it. Look for unconventional shapes and otherworldly colour combos.



A berry delicious colour story

This season, it’s all about bold, juicy tones that look good enough to eat. Rich red, abundant blue, roaring purple, luscious lavender – be as adventurous as you dare and gorge yourself on gem tones.
Indulge in fearless purple, blue, or red glasses frames that give your day a statement-making thrill, or blend them effortlessly into your thoughtful ensemble.






Hip to be square

Squares are everywhere this season – from tartan prints to modern graphics, it’s hip to rock them head to toe.
Indulge in a little vintage with retro plastic frames in square and rectangular shapes. Slip into a studious, what’s-the-scoop, 1950s newsroom state of mind and go bold with boxy silhouettes.




Metallics for life on mars

We’re living in the second wave of the space age, and if Mars is on your bucket list then you better dress accordingly. So, ask yourself – what does one wear on an intergalactic journey?
Metallics are in – from flashy outerwear to spacesuit-level statement pieces, take inspo from the stars and shine. Bring brightness into your everyday with metallic frames.



Eco-friendly frames (that have seen a few things of their own)

Shopping with a conscience is a trend with a soul. We’re all about looking for ways to make a difference (see what we did there?). Wear your smart choices on your face with Reincarnate.
These glasses could tell you a few stories of their own – each pair of frames is made from 5 recycled plastic bottles that have been saved from the landfill. And it’s not just about feeling good – sustainability is stylish. See for yourself.



Get lost in the details

Fashion thrives on contradiction – rebel against minimalism and find ways to incorporate excess into every corner of your ensemble. Let’s make this complicated – create a perfect storm of prints, glitter, patchwork, you-name-it.
Invite your glasses to the party. Look for styles with detailing on the frame, temples, or nose bridge for added intrigue.
