Spring Eyewear Trends: The Frames and Colours to Try Now
As spring arrives with lighter days and the promise of warmer weather, many of us feel the pull to refresh our personal style. Eyewear trends offer one of the most impactful ways to do exactly that. We know that choosing new frames isn’t just about vision correction — it’s about finding eyewear that reflects your personality whilst delivering the exceptional quality and expert care you deserve. With over three decades of award-winning eyecare in Monkseaton, we combine clinical expertise with a genuine passion for fashion-led eyewear.
The Must-Have Frame Shapes This Spring
This season’s eyewear landscape offers something for every style preference and face shape.
Bold Oversized Frames continue to dominate, delivering confident, statement-making looks that suit fashion-forward individuals. Oversized styles work particularly well for those with smaller facial features, creating balance and structure. If you have a round or oval face, geometric oversized frames add definition; softer, rounded oversized styles complement more angular features beautifully.
Retro-Inspired Styles bring vintage charm to modern life. Drawing from the 1970s and 1990s, classic aviators, round eyewear frames, and slim rectangular shapes evoke timeless elegance whilst feeling entirely contemporary. These suit anyone who appreciates heritage design with a current edge.
Minimalist, Lightweight Frames are ideal for those who prefer understated sophistication. Ultra-lightweight constructions provide all-day comfort and suit virtually all face shapes — particularly polished choices for professional environments.
Our team takes the time to understand your needs, ensuring you find frames that complement your features and fit your lifestyle.
Spring Colour Trends to Refresh Your Look
Colour is central to this season’s eyewear aesthetic, with several key palettes leading the way.
Soft Pastels — think pinks, lilacs, and sage green — capture spring’s optimistic spirit perfectly. These subtle colour trends work especially well for cooler skin tones, adding a sophisticated lift without overwhelming your overall look.
Transparent and Clear Frames offer versatile elegance that transcends seasonal trends. Their barely-there appearance suits all skin tones and face shapes, making them one of the most universally flattering choices available.
Bold Pops of Colour — cobalt blue, warm amber, rich burgundy — allow your eyewear to become a true fashion accessory. These shades work brilliantly for those with strong personal style who see their glasses as an extension of their identity.
We proudly stock frames from Etnia Barcelona and Morel, both of which exemplify the colour innovation and superior craftsmanship that define the best designer eyewear brands today.

Finding the Right Frames for You
Selecting the right eyewear for face shape is simpler than you might think. Round faces benefit from angular, geometric frames that add definition. Square faces are softened by rounded or oval styles. Heart-shaped faces look great with frames wider at the bottom, and oval faces — the most versatile shape — can carry almost any style with confidence.
Beyond face shape, consider your skin tone. Warmer tones suit tortoiseshell, gold, and amber; cooler tones pair beautifully with silver, black, and jewel shades.
