Spring always brings a shift in the shop.
As the days get brighter, people start noticing colour again. Suddenly the darker frames that felt perfectly fine through winter begin to feel a little bit… quiet.
That’s usually the moment when things get interesting.
Across the Spring/Summer 2026 eyewear collections, designers are embracing expressive frames, tinted lenses and vintage influences. Glasses are becoming less about blending in and more about showing personality.
Colourful Acetates
Bold colour is everywhere this season. Bright blues, greens and warm ambers are appearing alongside softer pastels and translucent tones.
Collections like Kirk & Kirk are famous for using colour in ways that feel joyful rather than shy.
Tinted Lenses
Tinted lenses are also making a comeback, inspired by relaxed 70s and 80s styling.
At EYES, this works beautifully with ShadeShift lenses, which change from completely clear to colour in seconds. With more than twenty colours available, they bring personality as well as practicality.
Statement Frames
Eyewear is becoming increasingly expressive. Oversized shapes and distinctive silhouettes are appearing across fashion collections.
Jez’s own JL Spex collection leans into that idea, combining bold design with handmade Italian craftsmanship.
Vintage Inspiration
Alongside modern statement frames, vintage styling is also enjoying a revival. Retro shapes inspired by earlier decades are returning with contemporary colours and materials.
A guest vintage collection currently in the shop captures that spirit perfectly.
Finding Frames That Feel Like You
Trends can be fun, but the real magic happens when someone finds frames that genuinely suit them.
That moment when someone looks in the mirror and suddenly smiles – that’s the EYES experience.
And spring is often when people feel most ready to discover it.
