Bold, cat-eye, retro touches and sporty influences: an editorial take on the key silhouettes.
In 2026, no single dominant style emerges: bold frames, sharp lines, nods to the 1970s and technical silhouettes all coexist. The Gucci Eyewear Spring/Summer 2026 campaign, for example, features all-black silhouettes, retro references and 1970s-style aviator frames. This is an indication of a stylistic direction, not an definitive ranking of the market.
The most interesting trend is the freedom to choose a distinctive pair of glasses that still complement the face. Thickness, colour and frame size only work well when the balance and proportions are just right.
Bold and geometric: the front takes centre stage
Thick acetate frames, solid black colours and sculpted shapes continue to define fashion eyewear. The most contemporary style isn’t necessarily oversized: it can be compact, provided the design is clean and the temples make a statement.
Cat-eye: more graphic, less nostalgic
The cat-eye shape is elongated and becomes more precise. Slim versions emphasise the eyes; acetate frames create a more couture effect. The key is getting the proportions right: the angle and width must complement the face without making the temples look narrow.
1970s Retro and Aviator
Thin metal frames, a double bridge and wide lenses bring the Aviator aesthetic to the fore. Alongside the classic teardrop shape, softer lines and warm colours make an appearance. It is a versatile range, but the bridge and frame size must be chosen carefully to ensure the correct stability and height.
Performance fashion: sport makes its way into the wardrobe
Face masks and wraparound frames are moving beyond the sporting context and are being interpreted in an urban context. Coverage, ventilation, weight and intended use remain more important than aesthetics: a striking design does not automatically replace technical eyewear designed for a specific sport.

Ray-Ban: timeless classics that transcend trends
Alongside the seasonal new arrivals, there are designs that are not tied to any particular season. In the Isolani catalogue, Wayfarer e Aviator They continue to represent two recognisable styles: the first is more graphic and urban, whilst the second is light and rooted in the tradition of metalwork.

Historical data helps to identify established styles, but the right choice remains a personal one: colour, frame size, bridge and temples must be suited to the wearer’s face and everyday use.

Do trendy glasses suit everyone?

Many models can accommodate prescription lenses, but whether this is feasible and the resulting quality depend on the shape, curvature, size and the required correction.

No. These are actual products from the Isolani Boutique catalogue, chosen as examples of shapes and stylistic approaches; they are not attributed to the subjects featured in the campaign.
