Men’s Designer Reading Eyewear Trends

A slick personal style for men - Fall/Winter 2024-25

This season, the men’s eyewear collections propose a blend of style and comfort, ensuring the wearing experience of a frame is beautifully refined. From the attractive contemporary materials to the particular details such as hinges and nose pads, looking for a frame that delivers on style and function is now much easier to find. Fashion eyewear brands propose a combination of lightweight comfort and sleek, often minimalist aesthetics where the colors interact with the shape of the frame for a timeless high-tech finish that feels versatile and elegant.

Styles to look for

In 2024, we have seen many extremes in eyewear design and many bold statement shapes for women. For men, focus is placed on perfecting the small details of the design, working with color in new ways and exploring form and shape for ideal everyday wear. A contemporary look that emphasizes a high-tech edge is particularly desirable for work and with formal attire, highlighting comfort and complementing the wearer’s natural features to boost the individual’s confidence and sense of personal style.

 

The combination frame

Zegna EZ5076 Single Vision Full Frame Readers

Shapes to consider this season include the most classic rectangles, square and angular, geometric or multi-sided designs. A traditional rectangular design such as the Zegna EZ5076 is refined and well proportioned, created in a combination of acetate and metal for temples which will perfectly match a man’s smart wardrobe and formal attire. Not only does this type of frame look sophisticated and well made, it also delivers reliability, durability and good old-fashioned quality details that have been meticulously styled. Combination styles are always well balanced and comfortable to wear thanks to the attention paid to the lightweight materials.

From the eyewear collection, which is known for its luxury aesthetic and high-end design attributes, frames like the timeless Varvatos V421 glasses which offers a panto shape with a key hole bridge, are presented as a sign of refinement and good taste; the vintage-inspired shapes and colors are always combined with an excellent choice of sizing and easy-to-wear shapes.

 

Italian finesse and attention to detail

Their eyewear designs blend technology and fashion for a modern luxury aesthetic, rooted in traditional craftsmanship with a special attention to small details and a comfortable fit. The colors of these frames, such as CANALI C0303, are always refined and subtle with tones such as gray combined with blue and brown with tortoise.

 

Seasonal colors and subtle angles

For those who appreciate a vintage look, the stylish model Lenox will add instant fashion flair. The frame has a strong European elegance that is enhanced by modern colors of green or light brown, both tones that are fresh and on trend for the season - this palette is in line with apparel trends and the most fashionable winter designs for men.

 

A minimalist’s approach to elegant acetate

Goo Goo Eyes 926 Progressive No-Lines Reading Glasses

A beautiful acetate frame will always feel flattering for men, whatever the season. Right now, the slimmer rims are popular and offer a lightweight appeal; if the acetate benefits from a subtle pattern this will complement winter separates with particular elegance and style. No need to feel the need to make a bold statement in thick rimmed acetates if it’s not your thing! This type of frame will highlight facial features or accentuate them with subtlety and a flattering, understated ease.
