Go retro with chunky, oversized glasses
If ‘go big or go home’ is your ethos, then oversized retro frames are a great fit for you. These vintage-inspired shapes bring nostalgic appeal and contemporary chic to your eyewear, making them ideal for turning heads at parties or adding personality to your everyday outfits. With their eye-catching shapes, chunky frames are simply impossible to ignore.
We love how the exaggerated proportions of larger frames create an effortlessly cool vibe, achieving a harmonious balance between retro glamour and modern elegance. Loewe’s eyewear collection masters this look with frames that blend impeccable craftsmanship with artistic flair. Think dramatic shapes, rich colours, and a modern take on vintage designs – all coming together to ensure you stand out this season.
No matter how you style them, chunky frames add a distinctive tinge to your look, making sure your fashion is unforgettable this season.
Embrace feline flair with cat-eye glasses
For an effortlessly polished look this time of year, cat-eye frames are the ultimate choice. With their unmistakable upward curve at the corners, these frames add a touch of vintage drama that’s both seductive and captivating. Amazing for festive celebrations or adding a little sparkle to your seasonal wardrobe, these glasses radiate confidence and playfulness.
Chanel, synonymous with glamour, has perfected this silhouette with designs that blend vintage allure with a fresh, updated touch. The cat-eye glasses showcase meticulous craftsmanship and subtle details, offering a polished aesthetic that complements any look.
The beauty of this iconic design lies in its versatility. The flattering shape of the cat-eye accentuates your features, giving your outfit that extra edge without overpowering it. Wear them to evoke old-Hollywood elegance or make a powerful impression with their glamorous appeal.

Incorporate vintage charm with rustic browns
For a subtle yet eye-catching look, vintage-inspired warm brown eyewear is a surprising addition to the festive style. With their earthy tones and understated charm, brown frames can bring a sense of depth and refinement to any ensemble. The warm shade, combined with a frame shape that suits your face, adds a refining note that complements the festive atmosphere of any event.
Rich hues like chestnut, caramel, and coffee are popular in current eyewear trends and create a cosy, polished aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with formal wear. Tortoiseshell patterns, a perennial favourite, intensify this style further by introducing texture and visual appeal. The intricate swirls and flecks within the design lend a dash of artistry, making each frame truly remarkable.
Tom Ford’s eyewear collection exemplifies this enduring trend, offering meticulously crafted frames that blend classic warmth with current appeal. The designs in rich, rustic tones and tortoiseshell finishes are perfect for those looking to enhance their Christmas wardrobe with an air of grace.
This season, embrace the charm of vintage-inspired browns to make a quiet yet confident statement. They’re the perfect way to add a layer of cultivation to your party outfits while staying effortlessly stylish.
