Glasses Are the New Trend - Warby Parker
Style: Beale Color: Rosemary Crystal
Looking back a decade or two a go, hearing the words you need glasses made anyone cringe. Spring forward to 2022 and glasses are the new must have fashion accessory! Whether you wear glasses 24/7 or simply wear them to complete an outfit, upgrading your frames is the perfect way to see the world a little more clearly and in turn, the world will see you more fashionably.
Glasses are a very personal accessory and can often set a preconceived vibe of your style and personality, so it is important to get the right fit. Nowadays you don’t have to pick one perfect pair! There are so many fun, affordable option to choose from and everyone needs a few options. Don’t take our word for it though…Warby Parker’s Chief Merchandising Officer, Kim Nemser, spoke to STYLECASTER about the top frames and styles that will be stepping into focus in 2022. According to Nemser, “Everyone should have at least one pair of statement frames.”
Nemser predicts that statement frames will manifest in the form of colorful crystal acetates, tortoise print on bold shapes, cat-eye silhouettes and oversized frames. Each of these glasses trends exist within very distinct styles. 2022 is the year to switch it up and try a new one! Here are a few of our top picks from each category!
Colorful Crystals
Crystal frames feature muted hues and are perfect for when the weather starts heating up. Kim Nemser says, “Spring is all about refreshed energy and these vibrant hues will bring just that.” Vivid colors also complement warmth, making them an easy and fun choice!

Rose Water
Tortoise
Think of a tortoise print as a neutral that can be worn in any setting. Nemser says, “Tortoise is always a classic—it’s universally flattering, versatile, and never goes out of style. A bold tortoise acetate is always great for spring. It’s neutral and easy to wear, and it can be a warmer alternative to black acetate frames.”

Cat-Eye Silhouettes
The cat-eye frame is arguably one of the most sophisticated glasses silhouettes. The triangular tips will emphasize your brow arch and according to Nemser, “they are the perfect way to add a fun twist to your outfit and step into the new year on a fresh foot.”

Oversized Frames
In 2022, the bigger the better applies to all fashion choices, including your frames. Nemser says, “We’re seeing bigger, thicker, and bolder shapes really come to the forefront of eyewear trends this spring. Oversized frames can be a simple way to liven up any outfit in a flash—they simply elevate your look to the next level.”

Buy a Pair Give a Pair
On that note, we want to tell you a little about why Warby Parker is our favorite glasses company. Not only do they have the best styles, easiest direct to you delivery, and okay we admit we just LOVE their branding, but they also give back.
Over eight million pairs of glasses have been distributed through their Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. They actually work with a handful of partners worldwide to ensure that for every pair of Warby Parker glasses purchased, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need. There are actually 2.5 billion people around the world need glasses but don’t have access to them. 624 million cannot effectively learn or work due to the severity of their visual impairment. Warby Parker does two things: They empower people to administer basic eye exams and sell glasses at ultra-affordable prices and directly give vision care and glasses to those in need. How awesome is that?!?
