Daring and eclectic: Discover 2024 eyewear for fall

This fall, eyewear is anything but ordinary. For those who dare to stand out, fall 2024 brings a kalediscope of bold, funky designs that push the boundaries of traditional eyewear. Karir is at the forefront of these trends, offering frames that are not just for you vision—but attention-grabbing pieces that transform any look into something extraordinary.

What are the trends for fall 2024 eyewear?

This season, oversized square frames are at the top of high fashion. Forget subtlety—these frames demand a second look with dramatic shapes and vibrant colour palettes. From deep tomato reds to translucent emerald greens, these frames are a superb option for those who see their eyewear as an extension of their personality. Gradient transparent materials give these frames a dynamic quality, allowing them to catch the light in unexpected ways.

Meanwhile, aviators are making a splash, but not in the way you remember them. These classics have been reinvented with thick, angular frames that give them a futuristic edge. Paired with gradient lenses that shift from a cool blue-gray to a warm cinnamon hue, these aviators are a stellar choice for those who love classic and contemporary styles.

Quintessential cat-eyes have raised eyebrows on runways as they are anything but old school. High-end designers have reimagined the classic cat-eye shape, giving it sharper angles and exaggerated wings and even incorporating unexpected materials like sleek metals and translucent acetates. Available in a spectrum of colours, from deep aubergine to spiced yellow, these cat-eyes are for the fashion-forward who aren’t afraid to turn heads.

For those who prefer something truly unique, fall 2024 has introduced an array of frames crafted from unconventional materials like 3D-printed nylon and ethically sourced buffalo horn. These materials offer a luxurious feel and give eyewear a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. The textures and finishes of these materials add depth to the frames, making them as much a piece of art as they are a necessity.

In terms of colour, this season is all about embracing the unexpected. While classic shades, like black and tortoiseshell, remain mainstream, rich, unconventional hues are must-haves. Imagine frames in vibrant spiced yellow, deep aubergine, and even a surprising hint of vermillion. These colours bring warmth and energy to your face, making them the perfect complement to the season’s rich, earthy tones.

Start autumn off on the right foot: Book your eye exam

Amidst the buzz of fall 2024 eyewear trends, it’s easy to overlook one crucial step: ensuring your eye health is in top shape. A complete eye exam can detect changes in your vision and early signs of serious conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and even diabetes. By catching these issues early, your optometrist can help prevent further complications.

In addition, an accurate and up-to-date prescription is key to enjoying the full benefits of your stylish new frames. Wearing outdated lenses can lead to unnecessary eye strain, headaches, and even blurred vision.

Once you have your prescription, you can talk to Karir’s team of opticians, who will advise you on selecting the best lenses for your needs. For example, blue light filters will help prevent eye fatigue if you spend many hours working in front of a computer or using other digital devices. Our opticians will also help you to determine if wearing adaptive transition lenses may be a good idea. Transition lenses automatically darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors, providing protection from UV rays. They offer the convenience of not needing separate sunglasses, reduce eye strain in varying light conditions, and are ideal for people with busy lifestyles.
