Vision Express is tapping into one of Spring 2026’s most confident colour stories: green. From subtle sage lenses to deep forest acetate frames, this season’s eyewear refresh is all about tonal experimentation, delivered through some of the most respected names in optical design, including Ray-Ban, Armani Exchange, Giorgio Armani and Oakley.
Green has been quietly building momentum across menswear, from tailored separates to textured knitwear — and now it’s moving into accessories with real authority. Whether you’re leaning into utility-inspired khakis or sharper emerald accents, eyewear is the easiest way to experiment without overcommitting. And with Vision Express curating a selection that spans bio-based innovation, sport performance and elevated luxury, there’s a shade, and silhouette, for every aesthetic.
Modern Heritage: Ray-Ban RBR0502S
For those who favour timeless shapes with a directional update, the Ray-Ban RBR0502S (£184, currently £92 in the sale) delivers. This style pairs a classic rounded silhouette with contemporary green-tinted lenses that soften spring sunlight while adding subtle edge.

Green lenses offer more than aesthetic appeal, they reduce glare while maintaining natural colour contrast, making them ideal for city wear and weekend escapes alike. Styled with relaxed tailoring or a suede overshirt, they feel effortless yet considered. At half price in the current promotion, this is an easy seasonal upgrade.
Understated Confidence: Armani Exchange AX4165S
The Armani Exchange AX4165S (£75) proves that green doesn’t have to shout to make impact. With clean lines and a wearable frame profile, this pair leans into everyday versatility while introducing subtle green detailing.

Perfect for transitional dressing, this is the kind of frame that works just as well with a crisp white tee and wide-leg trousers as it does with a lightweight bomber. Accessible in price but strong in design, it’s an ideal entry point into the trend.
Bio-Based Innovation: Ray-Ban RB4431 & RB4425
Sustainability continues to shape purchasing decisions across fashion, and Ray-Ban’s bio-based models answer that demand without compromising on style.
The Ray-Ban RB4431 (£130) brings a contemporary rectangular profile with green-infused detailing, crafted using bio-based materials.

Meanwhile, the Ray-Ban RB4425 (£130) delivers a slightly softer silhouette with the same eco-conscious credentials.

Both styles reflect a broader shift within menswear toward responsible materials — making them smart choices for readers who care about circular design as much as aesthetics. Paired with tonal green outerwear or neutral tailoring, they add depth without overpowering a look.
Performance Edge: Oakley OO 9486
For those who favour technical precision, the Oakley OO 9486 (£107) introduces green through a sport-led lens. Oakley’s heritage in performance eyewear ensures clarity, durability and impact resistance — but the updated green tint keeps it relevant beyond the track.

This is eyewear for men who move — cycling through the city, travelling light or leaning into athleisure styling. With green lenses cutting glare while enhancing contrast, it’s both functional and fashion-forward.
Elevated Luxury: Giorgio Armani AR8231U
At the premium end of the edit sits the Giorgio Armani AR8231U (£267). This is green interpreted through a refined, luxury lens, subtle tonal detailing paired with sophisticated craftsmanship.

The frame feels quietly powerful, the kind of piece that complements relaxed tailoring, open-collar shirting and polished leather accessories. For men investing in fewer, better pieces this spring, this is the standout.
Why Green, Why Now?
Green sits in a unique position within menswear. It’s bold without being brash, versatile without being predictable. From olive and moss to emerald and sage, it complements navy, cream, denim and chocolate brown, all core pillars of the modern male wardrobe.
By introducing green through eyewear, you’re adding dimension at eye level, the focal point of any look. It’s a subtle shift that signals confidence and seasonal awareness.
As part of the EssilorLuxottica group, Vision Express continues to bridge accessibility and innovation, offering everything from prescription services to premium sunglasses across its global network. With more than 18,000 stores worldwide, the brand’s SEE MORE BE MORE ethos feels particularly fitting this season.
Spring is about renewal, and if there’s one accessory worth updating now, it’s your sunglasses. Green is no longer a niche accent. It’s the defining detail.
