Are round glasses in style in 2025? Absolutely – and if you’ve walked down the streets of SoHo, scrolled your feed, or cracked open a fashion mag lately, you’ve seen it for yourself. From the runways to real life, round eyeglasses are having a major style moment – and at MOSCOT, they never really left.
Rooted in vintage heritage but reimagined for modern tastes, round glasses fashion is more than a fleeting trend. It’s a return to timeless shapes, thoughtful expression, and frames that flatter just about everyone. At MOSCOT, we’ve been crafting circular silhouettes for over a century, with icons like The MILTZEN, SCOOCH, MOYEL, GRUNYA, ZOLMAN, and FOYGEL leading the charge.
Whether you're already a round frame devotee or just considering the shape for the first time, here’s why this beloved style is back – and bolder than ever.
Are Round Eyeglasses in Style in 2025?
Yes – round eyeglasses are not just in style, they’re defining it. In an era where fashion leans nostalgic and personal style reigns supreme, round frames hit all the right notes. They’re vintage, but not dated. Classic, but never boring. And this year, they're making a stronger statement than ever thanks to high-profile wearers, softer silhouettes, and a rise in unisex fashion.
While round glasses have always held a steady spot in the MOSCOT archives, 2025 sees them front and center once again – now with expanded sizing, bold new acetates, and fresh finishes that speak to every generation.
The Round Glasses Trend for Men: Soft Strength, Subtle Style
Round glasses trend men are embracing today is all about nuance. In contrast to the harsh lines of oversized squares or hyper-angular styles, round frames feel smart, approachable, and quietly confident.
Take The MOYEL, with its vintage-inspired gauge stripe metal and slightly geometric lens shape – it’s heritage-driven and polished, perfect for workdays and off-duty hours alike. Prefer something more laid-back? The GRUNYA offers a chunkier silhouette with just enough curve to keep things cool. Paired with a tailored coat or relaxed denim, this is eyewear that doesn’t try too hard – and still gets noticed.
Why Are Round Glasses Trending?
A few reasons explain why this silhouette continues to rise in popularity:
Vintage Revival
In 2025, retro is reigning supreme. From flared pants to analog cameras, everything old is new again – including eyewear. And few shapes feel more nostalgic than round glasses. The MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s and named after Uncle Miltzen (yes, really), exemplifies this vintage comeback. With its keyhole bridge and full-vue P-3 shape, it remains a favorite among creatives and collectors alike.
Gender-Inclusive Design
As fashion norms shift, people are drawn to eyewear that feels inclusive, expressive, and adaptable. Round glasses – neither overtly masculine nor overtly feminine – are the sweet spot. Styles like The SCOOCH embody this with bold acetate and clean, circular lines that suit all face shapes and personal styles.
Flattering Fit
Round frames are surprisingly versatile when it comes to facial structure. They soften strong jaws, balance angular cheekbones, and bring harmony to oval or heart-shaped faces. For many, it’s the shape that just works – adding warmth without overwhelming.
MOSCOT’s Most Iconic Round Glasses
The MILTZEN
A tried-and-true classic with over 90 years of history, The MILTZEN is timeless in every sense. Its perfectly round lenses, keyhole bridge, and vintage construction have earned it a cult following – and a permanent spot in our collection.
“The round, full-vue MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, is eponymously named for our Uncle Heshy, who inexplicably everyone called Uncle Miltzen. And it stuck. So there you go, world... The MILTZEN.”
The SCOOCH
Looking for something bold and urban? The SCOOCH delivers. With its striking shape and never-slip cable temples, it’s made for movement – and made to turn heads.
“Tony, the porter, ran all kinds of errands around town for Sol. Weaving between traffic and pedestrians on his bicycle, his perfectly circular specs with acetate cable temples that wrapped around the ears never SCOOCH’d off his face!”
The MOYEL
Refined and understated, the MOYEL is modern vintage at its best. A little round, a little geometric, and a lot of style.
“A cut above the rest, The MOYEL takes heritage craft into the 21st century. Pair it with Custom Made Tints™ for a look that’s equal parts intellectual and iconic.”
The GRUNYA
Not sure whether to go with The NEBB, LEMTOSH, or MILTZEN? The GRUNYA merges all three for a look that’s bold yet easygoing.
“The GRUNYA is an amalgamation of our greatest hits– designed to elevate without overpowering.”
The FOYGEL
For those who want round frames with presence, The FOYGEL blends thick acetate and clever charm.
“Whether you’re all brains or (mostly) beauty, throw on The FOYGEL and you’ll instantly feel like the smartest guy in the room.”
The ZOLMAN
Great Grandpa Sol’s frame of choice, The ZOLMAN is the essence of round-glasses cool.
“Zolman was Sol’s name on his birth certificate. It doesn’t get more classic than that.”
P.S. Many of these styles are also available as round sunglasses for sun-filled days.
