For the past decades, sunglasses designs have ranged from the retro “aviator” to the “Jackie O” round frame look. With summer especially around the corner, sunglasses are a crucial accessory, not only because they are fashion eyewear, but also because they help protect your eyes from destructive UV rays and improve your visibility, especially when driving during the day. So what are the hottest trends of sunglasses this season? Here are our favorite trends that are back in fashion, we’re definitely giving them a try. What’s your favorite shape?
The Round sunglasses: Yes, believe it or not, those circular frames are definitely in style this season. We’ve seen it on many artists in earlier years, from musicians to intellects, and our dear John Lennon has wore it best! Luckily, this trendy pair of eyewear is coming back and has already appeared in several recent women’s and men’s collections, such as Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler and Ralph Lauren. This 80’s inspired sunglasses give you that vintage-hippy yet soft round look many of you might be looking for. And for those ladies with a square face, they are an absolute target! They come in many colors, usually bright ones, and sizes, so make your pick. They are vintage classic for sure.
The Jackie O sunglasses: inspired from one of our favorite fashionista Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, better known as Jackie O, those oversized stylish sunglasses are the number one celebrity shades. The frame, always big, can be rectangular or more circular from the edges. Different colors are not a problem when purchasing this pair of sunglasses. While celebrity women usually wear them to hide from paparazzi, you can wear these sunglasses to have that very glamour 1960s look. They usually flatter round, long and oval faces. Definitely a steal ladies!
The White sunglasses: these fashion-forward white pure sunglasses are a popular choice among women today who are looking for a sophisticated diva look. They are usually oversized and the lenses are tinted. The remarkable thing about these white sunglasses is that they do not come in a specific style. The white frames can be rectangular, cat eye or Ray-Ban round, making them suitable for all face types! Because they are white, they complement this summer season, and so what better way to stay trendy.
The Cat Eye sunglasses: those iconic sunglasses are certainly a major fashion trend at the moment! Inspired from the 1950s, they are a catch for round faces as they help make the face longer and thinner. They come in thin and large frames. So if you want that exaggerated cat eye look, go for the thin ones as they are curvier at the edges. But because they come in different sizes and styles (some cat eye sunglasses are wider at the edges than others), they will flatter many other faces, so no one is totally excluded. They are just daring and hey daring is what’s “in”!
The Ray-Bans Wayfarer: we just gotta all adore Ray-Bans! They are just that amazing! They always make a fashion statement. These classic pilot shades always turn heads. They are so sexy when worn. Originally, they were produced in an aim to cover the whole range of the eye to prevent sunlight from coming in when aviators and car racers were doing what they do best. But now, they are being produced because they are never out of style. Remember Tom Cruise wearing them in his famous movie Top Gun? The specific Ray-Ban wayfarer seems to be the most sought out for this season. Produced originally in 1952, these shades are wider at the top than at the bottom. Black is the signature color of these sunglasses and is usually worn by most people, but different colors are now being introduced such as white, red and even blue!
