Changing leaves and cooler temps signal the end of summer — and an imminent closet update. That means trading in crop tops for cozy sweaters, and the transition is great for anyone who loves to switch up their style. Still, updating your work wardrobe can be difficult, regardless if you're a work-from-home style connoisseur or looking for the perfect power suit for your first day back in the office. This season, don’t overlook one of the most important aspects of a work outfit: eyewear.

Nothing says you mean business more than a pair of sophisticated glasses, and Zenni Optical’s success in the world of professional-leaning accessories is unmatched. As the world's leading online eyewear brand, they've produced timeless and high-quality frames for two decades, and most recently launched a "Board Certified" collection in partnership with Emmy Award-winning actress and singer Keke Palmer. It follows their first collection together, “Summer Love,” which launched in July with bold, colorful eyeglasses and sunglasses that capture the vibrant essence of summer. Since a new season calls for new looks, “Board Certified” takes inspiration from Keke’s boss energy and captivating style, and features pieces like trendy geometric frames and aviators that work for long office days and Zoom meetings alike.

Ahead, find the eight most stylish frames to help you elevate your work wardrobe this season.
