Editor’s Picks: Acquire a vision of nowness with eyewear from the hottest brands to know

While eyewear started out as a practical staple for aiding clear sight, it has slowly evolved into a sartorial finishing touch in recent years. Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2024 show, for one, demonstrated the power of eyeglasses by pairing its largely athletic ensembles with big optical frames in unparalleled chicness. Celebrities quickly adopted the trend with their personal stylistic twists. Bella Hadid reinvigorated corporate core with her Bayonetta glasses, while Doja Cat wore a plethora of eclectic cat-eye and rimless options. The trend doesn’t seem to be waning, with Balenciaga’s final look on the spring/summer 2025 runway adorned with a sharp aviator-style pair, serving as a point of juxtaposition to the caped coat ensemble that was worn with it.

This season, a variety of optical glasses have flooded the market. Kuboraum’s 8 bit-inspired eyewear are a quirky twist to the regular rectangular rim. Miu Miu’s sleek, sports-inspired ensemble adds a touch of sharpness to any outfit. Saint Laurent’s diamond-shaped Lisa glasses are equal parts sophisticated and eye-catching while Gentle Monster keeps to its ethos of experimental eyewear with eyecatching colours and unorthodox silhouettes. Size matters when it comes to Loewe, with its supersized rectangular frames stealing the show. Amongst this sea of eyewear, how does one choose?
