Eyewear is one of the most important accessories for men. From correcting vision to adding a statement of personality, eyeglasses have become an integral part of men’s wardrobe. Unlike women, men are quite lazy in terms of fashion, and for years, I have also been the same. Classic black square glasses that fit me like a glove have been my ultimate choice. But, walking on the streets, I have observed how men have started adding glasses as a fashion statement.
Whether you spot a celeb for a movie screening, an influencer on Insta or a commoner on the streets running for work, everyone has been donning different types of glasses. After observing this, I decided to give my eyewear game a quick update and find the perfect and trending eyeglasses for men in 2026.
Modern & Minimal Rimless Men’s Glasses
This year is about either too glam or too minimal; you can’t decide a line in between. Hence, modern & minimal rimless glasses are expected to turn the tables this year. Clean lines and a minimal frame let your natural facial features speak. Due to the no-rim game, these glasses work beautifully with tailored outerwear, smart knitwear and officewear. So, if you are someone who appreciates the beauty of less is more, then rimless glasses for men in 2026 should be your pick.
Thick and Argo Glasses for Men
Bold, big and thick is the mantra for eyeglasses trends in 2026. Inspired by the 70s eyeglasses style and featured in the Argo movie, these frames are set to make a comeback. The thick frame will add personality and structure to your overall look. Made from acetate and featuring different colours or patterns like black, brown and tortoiseshell, these glasses will look stunning with various outfits like turtleneck, pullovers and polo neck jumpers.
Vintage & Retro Round Men’s Glasses
The year has another fashion comeback that’s vintage-inspired round glasses. Curved, round style that has been a trend among various popular celebs like John Lennon. This year, these are not only popular in metal frames but also in acetate. It will look great on people with square, oblong, and heart faces. They will pair beautifully with both formal and casual outfits. And, trust me, you will spot these on the streets alot.
Tinted Glasses for Men in 2026
Another emerging trend you will see hitting the streets of the UK is tinted eyeglasses. The reason why tinted glasses are so popular is not only about how stylish they look, but also the functional purpose they serve. Some tints, like yellow and amber tints, improve depth perception and contrast in low light, while grey lenses provide true colour perception for bright, sunny days. At the same time, pink tints offer a soothing visual experience.
Heritage Revival in Pilot Frames
Pilot frames have been a part of our eyewear industry for a long time now, and to date, they are still one of the most worn ones among men. Initially, they were crafted in round or teardrop shape only, but now they are available in squares and rectangles too. Complementing an array of face shapes, every man can style pilot glasses in 2026.
Sustainable Men’s Glasses
With the emergence of eco-friendly and recycled materials everywhere, it’s time for eyewear to adapt to the same. Better material is not only great for you but also for the environment. To keep up with the same, we use sustainable materials for our frame and recycled plastic for our packaging. You can also choose wooden frames for the ethereal style and environmental feel.
