2000s style glasses include transparent gradient-colored lenses, bedazzled decoration, giant logos, rimless frames, and bug-eye oversized shapes. Let’s take a look at these eyewear trends from the early aughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For a more modern take on the blingy style, try these oversized reflective Miu Miu frames. They are adorned in crystals and pearls and have just enough early-aughts inspiration to feel versatile for those looking to just dip their toe in the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gradient lenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPrada PR 53SS CATWALK<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhile gradient lenses are nothing new trend-wise, exaggerated gradients were incredibly popular in the early 2000s, from a colorful gradient to dramatic lenses that transitioned from black to clear. Instead of hiding behind oversized, dark, and dramatic frames in the early 2000s, most people gravitated towards lighter or colored lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gradient lenses are a subtle way to incorporate the early aughts into your accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nGucci GG0651S<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThis Gucci style is a modern rimless gradient that provides just the right amount of early 2000s style. To take this trend to the next level, grab a pair of tinted frames that feature a colored gradient lens or keep it neutral and gravitate towards a grey gradient instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bug-eye lenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/u><\/strong>While oversized frames weren\u2019t exactly a new trend by the 2000s, it seems this decade took it to new heights. Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O were original wearers of an oversized frame, but in the early aughts, Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton were devout followers of this larger-than-life trend. Whether they were bedazzled or featured chunky frames, almost everyone was wearing a larger round or oval frame, which is why they received the nickname \u201cbug-eye\u201d sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTory Burch TY9053U<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWe\u2019ve seen oversized frames<\/a> reach peak popularity this year, from shield-style glasses to larger-than-life square frames, but to channel peak early-aughts inspired glasses, reach for oversized round or oval frames — the bigger the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n
\nGucci GG0076S<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCandy-colored lenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInstead of the neutral glasses you’ve reached for in the past, why not introduce candy-colored lenses to set your sunglass collection apart this year? The best part about this trend is it can be incorporated into whatever style frame looks best on you. Just add a colorful lens. The most popular lenses of that time were pink, brown, purple, and blue. However, if you\u2019re in need of major sun protection, opt for a darker lens. Colored lenses\u2014albeit super stylish\u2014work best when it\u2019s a little cloudy (or when you’re going just for a sharp look).<\/p>\n\n\n
\nMiu Miu MU 62US CORE COLLECTION<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIt doesn\u2019t get more early-aughts-inspired than blue heart-shaped sunglasses. We could all use a touch of playfulness in our lives this year and what better way than with new whimsical sunglasses? While classic lenses would get the job done, candy-colored heart-shaped lenses will definitely set you apart and infuse life into any outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are a low-key fashion risk but can add a Y2K-inspired touch to any outfit. Take a cue from Bella Hadid and style with a sleek bun, gold hoops, and an equally 2000s-inspired halter top.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nMiu Miu MU 59TS SPECIAL PROJECT<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIncorporate a couple of 2000s-inspired trends with this pair of Miu Miu glasses. The dusty pink lenses feel like a more wearable option compared to a candy-pink and the rimless rectangular style couldn\u2019t get more Y2K. If you\u2019re looking for a pair of outfit-making glasses to add to your collection this year, look no further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
