Trendy vision glasses 2020–2021: how to choose the best model
The prevailing fashion trends should not become the only criterion for choosing frames.
It is also important that fashionable glasses match your face type. The main rule
- the frame should not follow its shape. The aesthetic task of temples and headbands is to hide flaws and emphasize advantages.
Those with a round shape will choose models that will visually lengthen the face and bring it closer to an oval. Among them are square, rectangular, frames with pointed corners like “Cat Eye”.
People with a pronounced oval shape do not need to correct problem areas; the main thing is to focus on the positive aspects of their appearance. Streamlined frames with smooth angles, butterflies or aviators will help with this. The latter are almost universal and suit most types.
Square faces should be smoothed out and slightly rounded with smooth ovals, quiet shades or rimless models.
Those with a heart-shaped face, with the widest part in the forehead area, can help make their chin wider with teardrop-shaped glasses, wayfarers or rimless options.
Fashionable glasses 2021 – voluminous frames
Square and round voluminous frames that cover almost half of the face are in fashion. Such models are usually chosen by celebrities to hide from annoying paparazzi. Perhaps this is the most popular model of glasses that we have seen in the collections of world brands.

Stylish glasses for this season and several more to come: 5 current models
I already wrote above about how current models differ from trendy ones.
Therefore, without further ado, I move on to the enumeration and description.
Model No. 1. Round glasses
I classified this model as current, because round glasses appear in collections and on catwalks with enviable consistency and have been for many years now.
I wouldn't call this model a classic. Rather, this is a base that will be in fashion for several more years.
Round glasses in the spring-summer 2021 season were in the collections of Armani brands
and Alberta Feretti.
A universal model would be round glasses with horn, dark or thin metal frames. It will suit images in almost any style. Especially if the frame is medium in size.
Chunky round glasses or glasses with unusual frames (for example, bright colors) will go perfectly with any casual and even beach looks. But for strict office exits it is better not to use them.
Suitable for: girls with angular facial features and prominent cheekbones (square, rectangle, inverted triangle). Round glasses of moderate diameter are suitable for girls with an oval face.
Where to buy in the mass market: Asos, Reserved, H&M.
Model No. 2. Wayfarer glasses
Wayfarers (original name in English Wayfarer) are a form of glasses that were first produced by Ray Ban.
Wayfarers can easily be classified as a classic form. They were popular back in the 50s-60s of the last century. And since the 80s, a new round of popularity of this form began.
And to this day, wayfarers are considered the current form of glasses for both women and men.
Classic wayfarers from Ray Ban look like this.
But now wayfarers also refer to glasses of the same shape, but with thin metal scents, and similar models, but with rounder or squarer lenses.
This form of glasses goes well with literally all looks: from sporty to romantic.
Therefore, these glasses will be ideal as a base.
Who is it suitable for: the classic wayfarer shape will suit any face type. More rounded options will soften the sharp features of rectangular, square and triangular face shapes. Angular glasses are best for girls with round and oval faces.
Where to buy in the mass market: Asos, Stradivarius, H&M, Mango.
By the way, original wayfarers from Ray Ban can also be ordered on the Asos website.
Model No. 3. Aviators
Another model of glasses that can be safely classified as a classic.
The creator of this form of glasses was also Ray Ban. Initially, such glasses were used to protect pilots from the sun.
And since the 50s of the last century, aviators have become a full-fledged accessory in the wardrobe of Americans.
Aviators have been a trendy accessory for decades now. This season we saw them on the catwalks again. The brands Celine and Max Mara included this accessory in their spring-summer 2021 collections.
Aviators are a classic. Therefore, you can safely add it to your basic wardrobe.
They easily combine with romantic images, balancing them a little, and fit perfectly into rough, masculine images, complementing them.
Suitable for: Many face shapes. They soften angular shapes due to their rounded shape. At the same time, round faces do not weigh down, their tandem looks harmonious.
Where to buy in the mass market: Reserved, Mango, Asos.
You can also order original aviators from Ray Ban on the Asos website.
Model No. 4. cat's eye
I wouldn't call this model a classic. But due to the fact that it has been in fashion for several seasons, I will definitely classify it as current.
This season, glasses in the shape of a cat's eye appeared in the collections of Michael Kors,
Miu Miu
and Blurmarin.
I also think this model is quite universal.
This frame will perfectly complement feminine looks and soften heavy, muscular sets. Another option for a basic wardrobe.
Suitable for: Any face shape.
Where to buy in the mass market: Bershka, Mango, Stradivarius, Asos, Zara.
Model No. 5. Butterfly glasses
Glasses with frames shaped like butterfly wings are another trendy model for this season.
We saw this form of glasses in the spring-summer collection from the Chloe brand.
Butterflies are no longer so universal. They will go well with feminine looks or neutral ones (for example, T-shirt + jeans).
But it is better not to combine such glasses with rough muscular looks, oversized looks, or formal office clothes.
Suitable for: almost all face shapes, except angular ones, with a massive jaw.
Where to buy in the mass market: Zara, Asos.
Sunglasses
The previous form is just a light version. Designers have taken glasses to a new level, making them part of protection in times when the pandemic is raging. Now this is not just a fashion accessory and a way to protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation, but also a vital thing.

Interestingly, oversized can be of almost any shape. But the one that tends to a square or rectangle is preferable.
Oval sunglasses frames 2021
And again, the 90s took a good look at modern looks, including glasses. Reference - old photographs of celebrities at fashionable parties, stills from films of the 90s and sensational images from catwalks and concerts of world stars. Here's what it looked like before:

Fashionable frames with prints of glasses 2021 for women's vision
For those who are bored with the usual 2021 glasses models with black, gray and colorless frames, and even colored ones don’t evoke any sympathy, we suggest paying attention to glasses with printed frames. The most popular frames in this category are those with patterns reminiscent of leopard print. Since the color scheme of this print is close to brown, which is the basic color, these glasses are also suitable for daily wear.
Aviator sunglasses 2021
The secret is simple: we take a model that has long become a classic and modify it a little. Here's a new trend for you. We see variations at Max Mara, Tod's, Versace, Tom Ford, Fendi. Modern aviators come with bright frames, colored lenses, rhinestones and other decor.

But there were also models close to the original version, for example, from Thom Browne. Glasses with thin gold frames and mirrored lenses turned out to be the most impressive.

Invisible frames
1 — Versace, 2 — Cartier Eyewear, 3 — Montblanc
An ideal option for anyone who loves a classic style, but sometimes allows themselves to relax a little, would be glasses with “invisible” frames, which will be almost invisible on the face, but at the same time unobtrusively add grace and elegance to the image. They are unlikely to look good with tracksuits, oversized hoodies and neon crop tops in the style of the 1990s, but they will be an excellent pair for trouser suits, blouses and pencil skirts, as well as for minimalist dresses and are generally suitable for business attire -code.
Multi-colored frames - sunglasses 2021
It’s hard to imagine spring-summer looks without fun, colorful frames. Let's hope that by summer we will have the opportunity to dress up and complement our looks with stylish accessories.
In addition to the translucent colored frames we are already familiar with, in spring and summer we will see futuristic models in bright, saturated colors:

A lover of bright eyewear models is Paris Hilton. Here are some examples of how you can wear glasses with bright frames, see photo :

Stylish colors and materials
If we talk about materials, glasses with plastic and metal frames will be in fashion. The main thing is that its material and assembly itself are of high quality (the same applies to the decor, if any). This will determine how long the glasses last and how they will look during use. On cheap models, the paint often peels off and the surface quickly wears off.
Advice ! If your budget allows, buy yourself several different pairs of glasses and change them depending on your mood. Even in “jeans + white basic t-shirt” looks, different glasses will play differently.
Of course, frames in basic shades will remain trendy:
- black;
- brown;
- gray;
- white or cream.
However, in 2021, designers recommend that we experiment in every possible way with the color of frames. They invite us to try on pink, blue, orange and lemon, red, peach and other colored frames. Glasses of this format really look very stylish and original.

Models with colored lenses - fashionable glasses summer 2021
If not multi-colored frames, then colored lenses. These may not be your main glasses, but they are a must-have as an additional accessory. The trend is yellow, blue, purple, orange and brown lenses. Many models had translucent frames to match the color of the lenses or thin metal frames that were barely noticeable. Some glasses were decorated with animal print, which is still on trend.

How to choose women's glasses for 2021?
For many representatives of the fair sex, glasses not only have a practical function, correcting vision, but also act as a stylish accessory. Therefore, the selection of frames for vision glasses 2021 is of particular importance.
The accessory must be selected taking into account one or another visual feature. If a woman is nearsighted, then she is advised to pay attention to large frames. This is due to the fact that with this problem the eyes become visually smaller. If you have to deal with farsightedness, then, on the contrary, narrow frames of a small size are suitable.
If you want to attract maximum attention, you can use glasses with contrasting horn frames. If you want to create the effect of weightlessness and lightness, then it is better to focus on accessories consisting mainly of glass alone, in which there is practically no frame.
Fashionable sunglasses with black lenses
The complete opposite of previous models. Glasses with black lenses (like tinted car windows in the best traditions of the 90s) were promoted by Balenciaga, Chanel, Saint Laurent and other brands. As for the design, there were voluminous glasses, “cat eyes”, and miniature models.

Secrets of choosing frames
In our society there is a strong stereotype that if you remove the black and heavy frames of glasses from a girl, she will instantly transform. Imagine: it can be the other way around! If you take into account all the nuances of choosing glasses, then this accessory can embellish and rejuvenate your image.
- There are categories of frames for which the age limit is quite clearly defined. One unspoken rule suggests that a woman over 50 should not try on unusual frames, which are preferred by girls in their 20s. This path is fundamentally wrong and is doomed to failure.
- Another little trick is the weight of the glasses. It is worth giving preference to light frames that do not tend to fall to the nose and evoke an association with a grandmother.
- As they age, many women experience that their facial features have become sharper and more angular. The rounded shape of the frame will help to visually correct this feature. A win-win option for those with an oval face shape is the “turtle shell” model. She makes the image graceful and the features expressive.

- Another problem that can be successfully corrected with glasses is drooping outer corners of the eyes. In this case, you should choose frames with a rise in the upper half, for example, a butterfly or cat-eye shape. These models create the effect of a cosmetic arrow. Just keep in mind that this shape is contraindicated for ladies with a triangular face type.
- Modern technologies make it possible to replace thick lenses with large diopters with thinner ones that will not distort the eyes. Don't miss this opportunity!
- You should definitely consider the compatibility of the frame you like with your face shape, skin color, hairstyle and overall style. Here you can’t do without the advice of a stylist.
Note! Women who wear glasses with lenses with a minus sign should take into account that they visually make their eyes smaller. You can compensate for the unwanted effect with the help of proper makeup.
