“It-girl” Bayonetta glasses

The resurgence of Y2K style in fashion and accessories is still on the up, and Bayonetta glasses are the latest addition to the trend.

A modern, glitzy take on the traditional “letterbox” frames.

On the runway, models are using non-prescription glasses to join the trend but lucky for you, there is no need to add to your accessories wardrobe.

Just update your latest frame selection or dust off your old 90s or 00s slim, rectangular frames.

Y2K Bayonettas

Go all out Y2K with the Specsavers Eira glasses frames. The narrow rectangular-shaped lenses, wide taper sides and crystal-studded temples are reminiscent of the 90s celebrity style.

The exposed internal silver hardware gives the design a final modern twist. Style these specs with big and bold silver jewellery from top to bottom, wide-leg dark denim jeans, chunky shoes and a sparkly top — the ultimate “off-model duty” outfit.

Autumnal Colours

Rich tones of browns, burgundies and oranges are the perfect accompaniment to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe. A simple switch of eyewear frames is just enough to add a final touch to go alongside your thick scarf, woolly hat and warm mittens.

The Specsavers Clarissa Bayonetta glasses are a unique choice because of their subtle cat-eye cut. Pair with biker boots and a worn, pre-loved brown leather jacket.

“It-girl” Reds

Trending colours are in and guess what? Red is leading the pack. From bright, scarlet to cherry red — choose the red for you based on your skin tone and hair colour.

The Specsavers Candace glasses are a great choice. The dark red rectangular lens with its’ sweeping brow can take you straight from officewear to a night out with just a swipe of red lippy.

This frame could also easily be styled like the trending “gothic glamour” look. Just pair them with an all-black outfit and you’re all set.

Rounded Bayonetta Glasses

Bayonetta glasses are usually all about sharp, rectangular angles but for a softer take on the trend, opt for a pair of rounded lenses like the Specsavers Keira.

Crafted from glossy-black acetate with a smoky-coloured interior for an on-trend grungy detail. These frames are timeless and are sure to still be fashionable long after the Bayonetta craze has died down.

Ultra-slim spectacles

Willing to go bold? Try the Specsavers Alisa specs. Feminine, rounded edges featuring the full purple spectrum, from lilac to amethyst, with a two-tone speck of aquamarine — these are sure to turn heads.

This is a fun frame to trial for the ultimate dopamine dressing. Try a block colour outfit, using purple and blues and contrasting against pink, green or any colour of your choosing. One more bonus? These petite frames will easily slip into your favourite clutch bag.

Metal Bayonetta Glasses

Rimless glasses can be minimalistic, but they can also ooze glamour and Y2K with the right frame. For instance these metallic rectangular frames.

The unusual lens shape is unique, paired with gold metal, tortoiseshell temples and fancy embellishments. The devil is in the detail.

Reach for these frames if you’re a gold, not a silver jewellery, person. One thing is for sure, these glasses will dress up the most simple of outfits or add the final, crucial detail to a seriously fashionable fit.

Cut Out Details

Circular fashion is fast becoming the norm. Achieve the “vintage” look with these bronze, rectangular glasses. Beyond the brushed bronze colourway, the elegant cut-out patterns create an old-fashioned aesthetic. Vintage is all about ornate, delicate details and these Bayonetta frames deliver.

Pair these metal frames with brown jorts or wide-fit shorts, a waistcoat and ballet pumps or loafers for a warmer day. To layer up for the winter, simply add thermal tights, a longline trench coat and small cosy details. It’s that easy.

Iconic Designer Brands

Nostalgia is catching, and beyond the return of particular clothing items, many brands provide rose-tinted spectacles towards iconic fashion decades of the past. One such brand is FCUK. Reach for the FCUK 93 specs to rewind to the cool 90s and 00s style.

The azul blue interior and subtle branding on the sides contrast beautifully with the nut-brown exterior. The perfect pair for your trending brown autumn wardrobe. A white tee, bootleg jeans and relaxed trainers are all you need to create an effortless yet current look. 

Not buying into the slim, rectangular “Bayonetta” style? Just ease yourself in with an iconic designer brand and pattern. Like these DKNY glasses.

The playful glasses are designed with a fun pink and black tortoiseshell pattern and accents of neon orange and green for just a sprinkling of 80s design inspiration. Try pairing these glasses with a double denim ensemble to complete the outfit.
