Why are transparent eyeglasses the biggest eyewear trend in 2021?

Buying a new pair of glasses can be quite an overwhelming experience. There are just so many things to consider – the shape of your face, your skin tone and of course the latest glasses trends. 

And you can’t afford to go wrong with your decision as the glasses are going to be on your face – the first thing that people will notice. Since you are looking for a new frame, we thought why not tell you about one of the latest eyewear trends 2021 that are here to stay – clear or transparent eyeglasses.

Although you must have seen this trend last year as well, its popularity is only rising this year. These frames are either completely see-through or have a faint tint. It gives them the ability to go well with whatever you are wearing. 

If you also want an accessory that’s adaptable, fashionable and trendy, add a pair of clear eyeglasses to your wardrobe. As summer is just around the corner, you may as well experiment with the transparent sunglasses trend.

How to choose a transparent frame?

Just like you buy clothes that complement the shape of your body, you need glasses that complement the shape of your face. The general rule of thumb is to buy frames that are opposite to your facial structure. 

People with a square or angular face and a strong jawline should wear transparent frames with round lenses to balance the symmetry. In the same way, transparent glasses for a round face include square or rectangle-shaped frames. If you have a diamond-shaped face and your cheekbones are high and wide, you will look best in transparent cat-eye or oval glasses. If your face shape is oval, every style will suit your perfectly balanced natural symmetry.

What to wear with transparent eyeglasses?

If you want your clear frames to truly shine, one way is to pair them with light colours that put more focus on the subtleness of your glasses. Light-coloured outfits will highlight the original colour of your glasses and make the angles more visible. 

If you are going for a dark shade, just know that your glasses will accent the colour of your outfit. This will make people assume that you have transparent sunglasses or eyeglasses in different frame tints to go with a multitude of outfit choices.

How to do makeup with transparent glasses?

Although makeup artists encourage you to wear a full face of makeup with glasses, you are better off with minimal makeup and products if your glasses are clear or see-through. You may want to do a bold red lip and smoky eye when you don’t have these frames on. 

Why should you do that? It will get you a clean look that won’t take attention away from your transparent eyeglasses. You bought those glasses to be the hero of your look. If you wear anything flashy, your beloved accessory will take a back seat.

Wear softer tones of eye shadow and lipstick to put together a look that is minimal and elegant. Most clear glasses have big frames. Since these glasses are almost invisible, there is no limit to what your frame size should be. People with a petite curvy facial structure can also go for oversized transparent glasses for a round face. 

When to wear transparent glasses?

Since these frames aren’t loud, they do well wherever you go. Going to a house warming party? Add a dash of creativity to your look with see-through glasses. Have a date night to go to? Put forward your soft side with these elegant babies. 

While there is no rule of thumb of when to wear your transparent eyeglasses, you may not want to wear them to your office. For formal settings, classic black rectangular glasses are the best. Clear glasses are a bit on the playful side. So, if you take them to work, people might not take you that seriously or they may get into the way of a sharp professional look. 

But, if you work in the fashion industry, these trendy glasses are for you. They have a hint of creative touch which you can use to elevate your look within seconds. 

Even if you don’t need prescription glasses, clear frames can be worn as an accessory. Just choose a pair of clear glasses or transparent sunglasses that suits your aesthetics and hop onto this trend.
