Haven’t you heard? The 70s are back (again)! Oversized aviator frames with light-coloured lenses—yellow, orange, and light blue are the ones to go for—are all the rage this year. We’re absolutely loving Tom Ford’s big, bold designs.

You might’ve caught the hint by now, but 2025 is definitely shaping up to be the year of oversized sunglasses. From Miu Miu to Givenchy, many luxury fashion houses are adopting these cheekbone-grazing rims, and we’re about to follow suit.

Trend #6: Metal frames and "Bayonetta glasses"
Bella Hadid, Gabbriette, and Doja Cat said it first: nerds are hot in 2025, and so are thin, metal frames. An elevated take on the so-called “Bayonetta glasses” trend, barely-there metal frames are minimal while maintaining a proportioned look, Y2K yet ultra-modern.
