Colourful gradients are popular in the Spring collections: some feature multiple colours in a single design, or elegant effects with crystal and bright colour contrasts
Gradients pop in the new optical and sunglasses collections for men and women. We last mentioned the trend in October 2025 (https://www.eyestylist.com/2025/10/autumn-eyewear-trends-artistic-gradients/), and since then we have seen more complex colour combinations and high-impact colour effects establishing the continuation of the trend in optical frames and sunglasses collections.

Eyewear brand KOMONO uses soft gradients to bring movement and dimension to their styles in the new collection. Horizontal and vertical fades blur the lines between colours, creating a fluid effortless look with a contemporary edge. The imposing Iggy style, an oversized octagonal design, is powerful and feminine at the same time. www.komono.com
A men’s optical frame, model Hyland by Seraphin has a softly squared shape and lifted browline. The frame comes in three gradient finishes, the chestnut/chestnut fade pictured above, as well as navy/navy smoke or sienna/sienna ember fade. Seraphin Eyewear is available at www.ogieyewear.com
In the women’s collection at French eyewear label J.F. Rey, playful combinations and unexpected contrasts are a key theme, and subtle gradients in acetate make a beautiful special feature. The chromatic sophistication in this collection enhances the presence of each design, giving it a particular identity and artistic character through contrast. Model JF3120 is a metal and acetate design (square eye shape) where the materials interact, as well as the colours, to offer “a refined sophistication”.
