Your glasses are more than just a tool for seeing clearly: They’re a central part of your day-to-day wardrobe. As you look to the coming year, you may find your current glasses no longer match your style, making it a great time to explore new frames or lenses.

2026 glasses are a blend of bold self-expression and classic comfort, with styles that let your individuality shine through. At Henderson Vision Centre, we can help you find a pair that feels just right.

Explore 2026 Eyewear Trends

This year’s standout styles range from attention-grabbing shapes to timeless looks with a modern feel. You can find a trend that fits your unique taste, whether you prefer something subtle or a frame that makes a statement. Keep an eye out for:

  • Bold geometric frames: These create an edgy, modern look with unique shapes. Think about hexagonal, octagonal, or even oversized square frames that add definition to your features.
  • Transparent and tinted frames: For a more minimalist style, transparent frames can offer a light, airy feel. You may see them in soft tints like pale pink, champagne, and light blue for a hint of colour.
  • Retro-inspired looks: Classic styles are back. Vintage aviators, sophisticated cat-eye frames, and simple round-wire glasses offer a nod to the past while feeling current.
  • Pops of colour: If you love colour, look for frames in vibrant reds, cobalt blues, and rich greens. You can explore our wide selection of available brands to find a colour that suits you.

Lightweight Designs for All-Day Comfort

A stylish frame doesn’t mean you have to deal with discomfort. Lightweight materials like titanium and high-quality acetate offer durability without feeling overly heavy, especially when paired with a proper fit.

Personalize Your New Glasses

While trends are a fun starting point, the most important factor is finding glasses that suit you. Your new frames should complement your face shape, match your personality, and fit into your life, whether you’re at the office or spending time with family.

Choose Frames for Your Face Shape

Different frame shapes can balance and help enhance your features. For example, if you have a round face, you may try exploring angular frames. If your face is more square, oval or rounded styles can help bring balance to your features.

Function and Your Vision Come First

Style is important, but when it comes to glasses, function is the priority. Your eyewear should accommodate your specific visual needs, whether that includes progressive lenses, UV protection, or other specific features. Our experienced eye care team can adjust your glasses to fit you so that they sit without pinching your ears or sliding down your nose.
