I still can't believe that 2025 is just around the corner, but I have to admit, I'm looking forward to a New Year's refresh. I totally lean into the reflection and reevaluation that comes with the start of a new calendar year, and for 2025, my focus is on everything from my health to my personal style. Rarely do the two ever meet… until it's time for my annual eye exam. Getting an updated prescription is what a shopping lover like me looks forward to every year. A medical reason to purchase something new? Sign me right up.
Jokes aside, I do take eyewear shopping very seriously. It's the one thing I wear every single day without fail, so the pressure to pick a pair that works with my ever-evolving personal style is a challenge. Thankfully, retailers like Walmart have the brands I know and love, plus accessible price points that make picking out new frames a breeze. It even has a virtual try-on feature so I can make selections without having to step foot outside of my house. I'm always curious to see what my colleagues and favorite content creators select when it comes to prescription eyewear, so I've reached out to four stylish people to get their "new year, new eyewear" selects. Read the story below to discover your stylish frames for 2025.
"I didn't start wearing prescription glasses until I was an adult, and getting used to wearing them was hard. Finding cute frames that are affordable from Walmart Vision makes me actually want to wear my glasses! It's fun to put outfits together that make my eyeglasses pop. Plus, I love a bold frame and something that makes a statement. If you're going to wear glasses, might as well make them extra!" — Maddy Gutierrez, content creator
"When it comes to selecting my favorite elements for eyewear, I tend to gravitate toward styles that balance both timeless elegance and a bit of current trendiness. I like eyewear that enhances my natural features, but [adds] just the right amount of flair. I want to try to step into some [styles] that are edgy and fun!" — Kourtney Marsh, content creator
"In my experience, if I don't have glasses that I feel cute and confident in, then I won't actually wear them. Finding a pair that makes me feel my best and fits in with all of my favorite fall outfits is key, and this Calvin Klein pair I discovered at Walmart Vision does exactly that. This will be my go-to outfit combo this season: denim, a cardigan, loafers, and my new glasses. This look is perfect for a casual weekend day." — Michaela Bushkin, fashion director, branded content
"I prefer oversized and rectangular frames because they feel cool and fashion-forward. I typically opt for neutrals for my frames so they'll go with anything I'm wearing. That being said, bold eyewear was all over the spring 2025 runways, and many of my favorite designer looks featured oversized frames to complement the looks. No matter your vibe next year, Walmart has an amazing selection of prescription eyewear to suit a range of styles and budgets." — Bobby Schuessler, market director
