From bold statement pieces to minimalist must-haves, here’s what’s trending this fall at Fox Chase Family Eye Care for patients in Philadelphia and nearby neighborhoods.
What’s In Style This Fall?
Fall fashion is all about transitions. As the air cools and the days get shorter, people are drawn to richer colors, warm layers, and bold accessories.
Eyewear is no different. At Fox Chase Family Eye Care, we have the latest frame styles that show this season's popular designs. We also provide the high-quality lenses and comfort you expect from a trusted optometrist.
This year’s biggest trends draw inspiration from classic silhouettes with a modern twist.
For example:
- Geometric Frames: Think sharp angles, hexagonal rims, or cat-eye variations that take the classic shape up a notch. Perfect for those who want something different without going too far outside the box.
- Muted Neutrals & Autumn Tones: Earthy browns, olive greens, and soft beiges are popping up everywhere — including on your frames. These colors complement most skin tones and pair well with layered outfits.
- Clear & Translucent Frames: These modern classics are here to stay, offering a subtle, barely-there vibe that’s equal parts cool and versatile.
- Retro-Inspired Metals: Thin gold, rose gold, or matte black metal frames channel a ‘70s-inspired sophistication. Bonus: They’re lightweight and flexible enough for all-day wear.
These designs aren’t just runway-approved — they’re practical too. The best frames this season have big lenses that improve side vision. They also have adjustable nose pads and are made of lightweight materials. These frames mix function and form.
Designer Frames You’ll Find at Fox Chase Family Eye Care
When it comes to choosing frames, brand matters — and we’re proud to carry some of the most trusted names in eyewear design. Our optical collection includes styles from:
- Ray-Ban – A timeless brand that keeps it fresh. Whether you’re into classic Wayfarers or their newer round wireframes, Ray-Ban makes high-quality eyewear that never goes out of style.
- Coach – Sophisticated, feminine frames that lean into elegant fall fashion with warm tones and thoughtful details.
- Michael Kors – Known for clean lines and a touch of glam, Michael Kors offers fall styles that mix high fashion with everyday wearability.

Our frame stylists know that a great pair of glasses is more than just a medical device — it’s a key part of your style. Whether you’re dressing up for a fall wedding or dressing down for a backyard fire pit, we’ll help you find a frame that fits your face, your prescription, and your personality.
Find the Perfect Frames for Your Face
Not sure what’s going to look best on you? That’s normal. Most patients walk in with only a vague idea of what they want — and that’s okay. We’re here to help with suggestions that take your face shape, skin tone, lifestyle, and personal taste into account.
Some quick tips from our optical team:
- Oval faces work well with almost any frame — it’s all about personal style.
- Round faces tend to shine in angular, rectangular shapes.
- Square faces benefit from soft curves and thinner rims.
- Heart-shaped faces look great in bottom-heavy or oval frames that balance proportions.
We also recommend thinking about how your glasses will be used. Do you need them to match your work wardrobe? Do you want something bold for the weekends and casual events? Many patients opt for two pairs — one practical, one fun — to match different moods or outfits.
Why It’s Smart to Update Your Glasses This Fall
Think of your eyewear as part of your seasonal refresh — the same way you might change out your wardrobe or skincare routine when fall rolls in. Your prescription might still work, but if your lenses are scratched, your frames are loose, or your look feels dated, it might be time to consider a change.
Here are a few practical reasons to come in for new glasses this fall:
- Insurance Benefits: Many vision plans reset at the end of the calendar year. If you haven’t used your optical benefits yet, fall is the perfect time to do it before they expire.
- Back-to-School & Work: Whether you’re sending kids back to class or just getting back into a busy routine, clear vision can help boost focus and reduce eye strain — especially for screen-heavy days.
- Changing Light Conditions: Shorter days and longer nights can make glare and light sensitivity worse. A new pair of lenses with anti-reflective or blue-light-blocking coating can help.
- Seasonal Allergies: If your eyes are extra sensitive this time of year, upgrading to lighter frames or trying contact lenses can offer more comfort during allergy season.
Even if you love your current pair, it’s always a good idea to have a backup. Fall weather brings more opportunities for outdoor fun, travel, and cozy gatherings — and a second pair of glasses ensures you’re prepared for every moment.
