Autumn eyewear trends
As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, it’s the perfect time to refresh your eyewear wardrobe. At Lynne Fernandes Optometrists, our team of eyewear specialists are already curating the best autumn picks for you. Whether you’re booking an eye test in Bristol or just browsing for a new frame, we wanted to show you some popular Autumn eyewear and a little bit more about them.
Why Autumn calls for warmer palettes
Autumn is all about comfort, warmth and a sense of grounding. In eyewear, that translates to rich tortoises, burnished ambers, deep chestnut and olive greens. These tones harmonise with seasonal wardrobes and flatter skin tones.
At Lynne Fernandes Optometrists, when you come in for your vision test in Bristol, our eyewear specialists will help define which autumn palette works best with your eyes and undertones.
Popular brands that embrace autumn
Orgreen: Clean lines, subtle sophistication
Originating in Denmark, Orgreen blends minimalist design with precision craftsmanship. Their frames are made of ultra-light titanium or premium Japanese acetate and are known for clean silhouettes and refined details.
For autumn, imagine an Orgreen frame in a translucent olive or walnut brown, with soft matte texture. It’s a sophisticated piece that doesn’t scream “statement,” but rather whispers it. Because the designs are understated, they complement seasonal wardrobes without competing.
At Lynne Fernandes, we have a carefully curated Orgreen selection, so you can come and try them on at any of our Opticians in Bristol.
Moscot: Timeless shapes, warm character
Moscot has been a staple in our collection for years. Every Moscot frame is handmade, using real hardware and riveted hinges for durability.
Their signature styles, like the Lemtosh, Zack and Milton, offer classic shapes that lend themselves beautifully to autumn palettes. Tortoise blends, deep whiskey tones and soft ambers - these frames age gracefully, acquiring personality over time.
Mykita: Modern minimal meets warm nuance
The Mykita design house (based in Berlin) focuses on innovation and lightweight engineering.
For autumn, Mykita’s matte finishes and mixed-material construction really stand out. Their designs often slip into the background, but with elevated detail (hingeless designs, refined edges), they reward those who pay attention.
If you're visiting one of our opticians in Bristol for a consultation, have a look at our selection of Mykita frames to understand the level of engineering that goes into them.
Theo: Artistic flair in cosy tones
Theo is the wildcard among the bunch, and that’s exactly why it's great in autumn. Bold, playful, geometrically daring, theo frames infuse personality into every construction.
Autumn doesn’t mean bland, and theo takes classic autumn shades (forest green, burnt copper, deep burgundy) and makes them exciting.
How to choose the right Autumn frame
When selecting a frame this autumn, here’s what our eyewear specialists always look for:
- Skin undertone match: Warmer frames (honey, olive, amber) look great on warmer undertones; cooler ones (taupes, muted olives) balance cooler complexions.
- Contrast level: If your hair/skin has strong contrast, a darker frame can create a bold outline; if low contrast, softer tones can give a gentler frame to your face.
- Material and comfort: Lightweight titanium or fine acetate helps avoid the “heavy glasses” look when layering scarves, coats, knits in autumn.
- Lens coatings: For autumn light, an anti-reflection coating is essential, reducing glare from low-angle sun or indoor lighting. We also offer blue-light filtering options for screen-heavy days.
- Frame versatility: A subtly coloured tortoise or olive frame can transition easily from dull daylight to warm evening light.
