Why Our Editors Have Their Eyes on Vogueme

Celebs Proving Eyeglasses are the Trend of the Season

Remember in the early 2000s when 3D movies first appeared? And, instead of tossing out the disposable frames — after delighting in the novelty spectacle, of course — people popped out the altered lenses and wore the frames as an accessory?


Unfortunately, I remember it too well. Confession: I was one of those misguided people who rocked the 3D lenses everywhere I went before the flimsy frames inevitably snapped. It was the end of an era, a chapter that needed desperately to be closed.

Without a doubt, that was one of the most atrocious 2000s trends. There were many contenders — waistcoats, layered tanks, sparkly skirts over jeans … I shiver at the thought — but the plastic theater glasses were just about the cringiest.

However, like everything, fashion trends roll back round again. So glasses are in again. If you're skeptical, don't worry. I was too. But the resurgence of Y2K fashion has dredged up some buried memories of embarrassing outfits I wore as a kid. But luckily, the latest iteration is more tongue and cheek than ever.

This whimsical approach to the Y2K trend truly helped me make peace with that era. Shockingly, I'm even loving some 2000s trends I swore off — low rise jeans, sequined baby tees, chunky shoes, and now . . . glasses as an accessory.

Hear me out: I'm not out here donning the embarrassing plastic frames of yore. Cool new brands are trending with affordable frames that you can fill with prescription lenses — or not. Either way, make a statement with these fashionable frames from Vogueme that will give any outfit a timely touch.

Whether you seek more chic prescription frames, want to sample blue-light glasses, or simply want the latest on-the-mode accessory, Vogueme is the place to shop.

Get the Look: Hailey Bieber

One of the most effortlessly dressed celebrities is Hailey Bieber, the wife of our chaotic-king Justin Bieber. Her style is simple, but always on trend without appearing like she's trying too hard. Her knack for balancing sporty-casual pieces with more dressed-up elements has garnered comparisons to the iconic Princess Diana. Safe to say, she's our version of the people's princess. So, of course, we trust her choice in eyeglasses.

Aviators are an American classic which give you an instantly glamorous look. It's no surprise that Hailey has gravitated to this shape — so run, don't walk, to snag the Hubery frames. This sleek take on the aviator shows off a bold square shape beloved by Hailey herself. To reach Hailey's enviable equilibrium of casual and elegant, borrow this shape for only $34.99.

One of the most epochal glasses-wearers of our time is Zooey Deschanel. Hipsters everywhere found themselves inspired by her big, black frames — a more sophisticated take on the disastrous Y2K 3D glasses mistake.

After her influential roles in feature films like (500) Days of Summer, and the seminal sitcom New Girl, no wonder we all wanted to be her. If you're like me, you still do.
