Spy the eyewear trends that have been making waves in 2025
At times, they're supersized supreme. Some lean sleek and chic. And if the time calls for it, a cat eye does it. Some accessories re-enter conversations with the seasons—like any current talk of a necktie—but ask any fashion-inclined individual and they'll never retire their favourite pair of eyewear. Perhaps interest in specific shapes or styles might wax and wane, but between one's opticals and a trusty pair of sunnies to keep close, there's no question that fashion's rotating slate of statement eyewear will continue to hold everyone's attention.
As we bask in the summer heat and the days grow longer, a dependable pair of protective sunglasses is something we all need. Some still prefer their sun shields on the oversized end, like Miley Cyrus's retro aviators run or Victoria Beckham's preference for the bug-eyed silhouette. Techwear or reflective eyewear still finds its moments for the occasion, like during Jennie's Coachella set to complete her Mugler archival fit. If logomania could ever be subtle, some notable designer brands have even found their way around to make it look chic again. Simply look at Chanel's spring/summer 2025 eyewear campaign for the collection, or the freshest bit of fashion fodder: Celine's recent spring/summer 2026 show by Michael Rider.

2024's prescription glasses craze continues to have a chokehold on the zeitgeist, albeit now in new iterations. Gentle Monster's newest entrance to the market includes their Pocket Collection, a foldable line of eyewear fronted by Aespa's Karina. Small, thin wired frames still reign everywhere, spotted in waves all through the fall/winter 2025 season, be it on the Prada runway or out on the streets. And if there's a colour of choice across the board for tinted sunglasses? A wash of yellow would be it.

The oversized trend isn't going anywhere. In particular, bug-eyed silhouettes were spotted all over the runways across the fall/winter 2025 season—and most recently, Victoria Beckham stepped out donning her own retro-inspired pair. Getty

A pocketable, or perhaps, bag charm-able style. The new Pocket collection by Gentle Monster (and fronted by Karina) has certainly taken off—with its styles in demand everywhere.

Aviator styles are still going strong, but they don't necessarily have to be the old school pilot styles. A play on its inverted shape was spotted at Loewe's spring/summer 2025 show late last year, and the oversized aviator silhouette continues to have its hold on the market. Getty

Celine's new designer Michael Rider makes a strong start
When the first model came out in Michael Rider's debut show for Celine, it was clear Rider planned to respect his predecessor Hedi Slimane's legacy. Skinny jeans are a Slimane trademark and the opening look featured ultra-clingy denim, paired with white boots and a camel-coloured tailored jacket. If there was any doubt as to whether the lean jean is coming back into fashion, there needn't be now. Talking backstage after the show at Celine's headquarters in Paris, Rider said the jeans look was 'like something that was familiar but felt new right now, the right way to start'. The American designer added that when it comes to the different designer eras at Celine, several of which were echoed in the collection, 'I definitely did not want there to be a sense of erasure; it felt right to me to build'. Rider had a direct hand in forming one of those eras, having worked there under Phoebe Philo for nine years from 2008 before he became creative director of Polo Ralph Lauren. Many designers want to reference their house heritage, but when Slimane took the helm at Celine in 2018 he made a volte-face from the luxurious refinement favoured by his predecessor, Philo. Many so-called Philophiles were devastated at the loss of clothes that felt modern, thoughtful and feminist. But Slimane's designs were a commercial success, with annual revenues climbing from around €800 million (US$940 million; S$1.2 billion) in 2017 to €2.6 billion in 2023, according to analyst estimates. Rider takes over a considerably bigger house than he left in 2017 — Slimane added both menswear and fragrance — but he also joins at a challenging time for luxury. 'Celine, like other maisons in the luxury market, is affected, but the maison has exactly what it takes to emerge from periods of turbulence stronger: Through quality and driven by exceptional savoir-faire and creativity,' chief executive Severine Merle wrote via email after the show. 'There are still many territories left for us to explore.' Optimism was running high for Rider's debut, held on the eve of haute couture week in Paris. Some of the seats in the alfresco courtyard were arranged to form the 'Celine' logo underneath a giant Celine scarf, with guests clutching branded umbrellas to shield against the rain. The collection borrowed elements of Ralph Lauren's signature sporty prep in crayon-bright colours mixed with '80s blouson jackets and classic French tailoring. Block colours and clean lines were a foil to armfuls of coloured bangles and rows of rings. Trouser shapes ranged from ultra-skinny to wide tailored culottes, worn with flat Mary Janes and cardigans, and given a more opulent twist with excessive layers of gold necklaces and horn-shaped pendants. Barrel-leg trousers in tan and check came with cinched, pleated waists paired with oversized blazers and nonchalant silk scarves. There was also a dandy element in Chesterfield coats shown, in one example, in white with a white scarf neck top and embellished jeans. Coincidentally, it resembled one of the looks at Jonathan Anderson's recent debut for Dior, and there were other parallels suggesting a trend, such as elevated sweatshirts. It seems like a hybrid dandy bourgeois prep is very much in the fashion ether, offering an alternative to athleisure that takes barely more effort but has a lot more style. 'I think he's making clothes for this new cool girl,' said celebrity stylist Law Roach, who was in the audience. 'We have been seeing all this Y2K fashion and this feels newer and a little bit more modern — easy but not too much of a departure from what we know Celine to be.' Shoes included lace-up heeled shoe boots and Mary Janes as well as soft dance shoes that resembled the pair by Repetto that Serge Gainsbourg used to wear. However, the presence of boxing boots, some with Celine branding, felt a bit predictable as they are already an established trend. Bags are important for the house and alongside logo-printed flat totes, slouchy shoulder bags and huge leather sacks, Rider brought back the Luggage bag from the Philo era. This time, however, the zip resembled a smiley face. 'Having a sense of humour in the luxury space is actually a beautiful thing,' Rider said.

Chanel shows haute couture in private salon setting at Grand Palais
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox PARIS - Chanel showed its latest collection of haute couture in an all-beige salon set at the Grand Palais in Paris on Tuesday, its last runway presentation by the design studio before the debut of new creative director Matthieu Blazy expected in September. Models emerged from an ornate entrance, parading long- skirted dresses in soft toned tweeds, with touches of sparkles and tufts of feathers. They wore tight buns and tall boots, which left u-shaped heel indentations in the plush carpet. Colors were muted, mostly ivory, beige and brown, but one silky dress came in a pale silvery blue, worn under a short, yellow-toned bomber jacket with a prominent, feathery collar. The show was held in the Salon d'Honneur, a smaller space of the freshly-restored Grand Palais, marking a contrast with the soaring, central exhibition hall usually favored by the label. Facing a prolonged slump, many labels in the high end fashion industry are renewing their design approach, with Kering-owned Gucci and Balenciaga, and LVMH's Dior among labels that have recently named new designers. After the show, guests lingered, making their way slowly down grand staircases, stopping for photos of the building's elaborate ironwork and gilded wall decorations. The Paris fall-winter haute couture fashion shows run through Thursday, featuring runway outings from labels Schiaparelli, Iris van Herpen and Imane Ayissi, as well as Giorgio Armani Prive, Maison Margiela and Balenciaga.
