And when it comes to eyewear, TikTok creators are paving the way for both new and renewed trends.
So, keep scrolling to explore the top aesthetic glasses that are trending on TikTok.
Just be warned: you may be tempted to add these to your cart soon.
1. Metallic glasses
If you’ve ever struggled to find your signature style, start with a classic pair of metallic frames.
You’ll never miss the mark with these on.
Whether you wear them in gold, bronze, or silver, these frames will never look out of a place with the rest of your outfit.
For this reason and more, you’ll see TikTok creators like Lynelissa (@lynelisxx) rock these frames, especially in her POV videos.
Here are some of our top picks among the metallic frames we carry.
2. Cat-eye glasses
If you want to sprinkle some classic Hollywood magic wherever you go, look no further than a pair of cat-eye glasses.
These frames are one of the most effortless ways to elevate your look.
Cat-eye frames are flattering on a wide range of face shapes, from round to square to diamond to triangle.
That’s why you’ll see influencers like Ana Saia wearing them on the daily.
3. Coastal granddaughter
If you’ve been on TikTok for some time, you’ve probably heard of the ‘coastal grandmother’ aesthetic where one dresses like a rich lady on vacation in a beach house.
However, did you know it has a younger and more relaxed spinoff?
Let us introduce you to the ‘coastal granddaughter’ aesthetic. It’s all about youthful pastels and creams.
Basically, a modern and less ‘put-together’ version of the coastal grandma fashion.
Here’s Chandler DeHart showing us how it’s done.
With this aesthetic, you can get into light tortoiseshell glasses and combine them with pastel-colored or striped outfits.
A pair of clip-on sunglasses can also work well here to prepare you for all the sun in the fun you’ll be getting.

4. Y2K glasses
No matter what your thoughts on this divisive aesthetic may be, Y2K is here to stay.
Since originating in the early 2000s, the Y2K aesthetic has evolved and become modernized while staying true to its defining elements of bright colors, maximalism, and oversized frames.
Remember, if it’s not fun and playful, it’s not Y2K.
Sara Camposarcone, a self-proclaimed maximalist on TikTok, does it best with her sustainable collection of huge Y2K glasses.

5. Mermaidcore
When it comes to fashion, it’s never too late to indulge in your childhood fantasy.
If you ever wanted to be a mermaid growing up, good news — mermaidcore is here to save the day.
As its name suggests, mermaidcore is inspired by the sea and the mythological half human, half fish creatures that live in it.
Avid fans of this aesthetic like to dress up in varying shades of blue and metallics in flowy silhouettes.
You’ll see it perfectly emulated in content creators like Nya (@artsynya), who posted a quick GRWM video featuring this aesthetic.

Well, Viva Magenta to be exact, but it’s a hot pink nonetheless.

While it may not look it, pink can actually be such a versatile color and add an element of fun to your outfit.

7. Round glasses
In the market for a pair of specs that’s on trend yet timeless?
Then it’s high time you get round frames.
Round frames give off a sophisticated, retro-chic vibe that turns heads without being in-your-face.
It’s equally popular among celebrities and influencers like Annz (@annzxk), who is never without her faithful round specs.
Round eyeglasses are also versatile as they come in a wide variety of colors, materials, and sizes to suit different looks.
Generally speaking, they look best on diamond, heart, and square-shaped faces since they can add balance to their angular features.
Become an all-rounder in these round glasses we picked out for you.
8. Clear glasses
If you’re intimidated by some of the wilder colors and patterns on here, you can always lean into the basics.
Something clean and minimalist like clear frames might be more up your alley.
Clear frames is Gen Z’s answer to those who aren’t fans of the more maximalist trends out there.
With this eyewear, you can fully let your facial features — especially your eyes — shine.
Look at Roni (@percievemepls), for instance. She went viral for creating glasses-shaped eye makeup looks to complement her clear frames.
