New York Fashion Week is one of the best places to look for eyewear inspiration. In February 2024, we saw multiple collections featuring modern eyewear. Attendees were also wearing trendy eyewear pieces—from tortoise shell glasses to futuristic frames. If you want to get the trending eyewear looks from NYFW, Vint & York has a variety of collections and frames to elevate your style.
1. Oversized Square Frames
Oversized square frames were everywhere at NYFW. This style is versatile, bold, and sure to attract attention. When assembling your spring outfits, don’t forget to include some of these square-framed sunglasses or prescription lenses.

If you want oversized square sunglasses similar to the ones seen at NYFW, try our Piazza frames. These luxury frames are handmade in Italy and come in four colors: black, tortoise, transparent green, and nude beige. They fit oval, round, heart, and oblong face shapes. The Piazza frames look great dressed up for special events or dressed down for more casual street style. Our Cecile frames are another oversized square style that can be used to achieve the oversized NYFW eyewear look. Their square shape is a bit softer than the Piazza and can bring a bold feminine look to any outfit. Cecile comes in cognac tortoise, jet black, and nude beige.

Get the oversized square eyewear look seen at NYFW with a pair of our fashionable prescription eyeglasses. One of our favorites, Glacier, looks delicate while still being a sturdy frame.

2. Rectangular Frames
Rectangular frames stole the show at NYFW 2024. Rectangular glasses are similar to our square frames, but they have a narrower silhouette.

Our Killa is a great option to incorporate both rectangular frames and cat-eye eyeglasses.
