Australia’s Eyewear Influence & Celebrity Impact

Aussies have always had a knack for merging practicality with style, and 2025 is no different. Local brands are setting trends with innovative, sustainable materials and fresh, wearable designs. Meanwhile, international influences—especially from K-pop, Hollywood, and European fashion weeks—are shaping our colour palettes and frame styles. 

Celebrity culture continues to play a major role in eyewear trends. From Beyoncé rocking wraparounds to Bella Hadid embracing ultra-thin frames, what’s seen on A-listers quickly finds its way into Australian streets and optometry clinics. 

Whether you’re embracing oversized squares, leaning into sporty wraparounds, or opting for minimalist wireframes, 2025’s eyewear trends are all about self-expression. The best part? You don’t have to compromise on comfort or function. Visit your local independent optometrist to find the perfect frame that suits your style and your prescription needs. 

So, what’s your eyewear vibe this year? Are you a trendsetter, a minimalist, or a bold statement-maker? One thing’s for sure— there’s never been a better time to refresh your frames. 

Trends that are taking a back seat for 2025 

Tiny Matrix Sunglasses – While micro sunnies had their moment, they’re taking a backseat in 2025. Oversized is where it’s at. 

Neon-Coloured Lenses – While fun for festival season, bold-coloured lenses in bright neons are being replaced by softer tints like amber, rose, and champagne. 

Heavy Logo Branding – The early 2000s logo-mania trend is fading in eyewear. This year, it’s all about subtle luxury rather than screaming designer names.
