Eyewear trends to watch out for in 2025

India Today  

A critical accessory that serves our day-to-day functional needs, eyewear today has also come to be a way of self-expression, especially for the younger generation that believes in standing out rather than fitting in. “Pop, cultural and social media trends, such as the Rimless or Bayonetta glasses, have been spotted among Hollywood celebrities like American singer-actor Sabrina Carpenter and Italian-American actor Julia Fox. These are gaining popularity amongst younger celebrities,” says Priyanka Gupta, director of eyewear brand GKB Opticals. What’s cool is that brands, both local and global, are making eyewear stylish, with lightweight frames, blue-light filtering lenses and all the techy stuff we need for our busy, screen-filled lives. “Smart glasses will blend standard eyewear with advanced technology so that wearers can perform tasks without needing an additional device to look at,” says Gupta.
