While the days are long, and the sun is shining, you’ll want to protect your eyes from those UV rays. Updated sunglasses can also elevate a basic outfit from “eh” to “whoa” so think about picking up some that are currently in style.
1. Square Shapes
Oversized square glasses have been popular for a while and are still going strong. These Coach 57mm Gradient Square Sunglasses have soft rounded edges which make them a sophisticated, classic style. They come in a subtle soft brown tortoise shell frame or a fun transparent pink.
2. Small Or Oversized Cat Eye Sunglasses
Did you know that cat-eye glasses first came onto the fashion scene in the 1930s? A woman named Altina Schinasi was inspired by the Harlequin masks that were popular in ballrooms at the time and created the iconic style of women’s glasses. The original styles were small and mimicked the shape of a cat’s eyes. Around the 60s they started to get larger and change shape slightly. Today we have all kinds of options!
If you’re looking for the original small pointed cat eye shape, take a look at Stella McCartney’s 55mm Cat Eye Sunglasses or Quay’s Mad Cute Cat Eye Sunglasses. These would look great on smaller or oval-shaped faces.
3. Rounded Frames
If you’re picturing John Lennon in his signature round glasses, keep reading, and I’ll show you what I really mean! The current trend in round glasses is a little more subtle, like these Quay Jezabell Inlay Round Sunglasses.
4. Bold And Bright Frames
Want to stand out in a crowd? Then, you might like these Becky II sunglasses from DIFF Eyewear in Lavendar or cheerful Polarized Cat Eye Sunglasses from Lily Pulitzer. These bold acetate frames are making a comeback from their Y2K origins. Wear these if you have a whimsical, colorful style.
5. Sporty Style Sunglasses
My husband just introduced me to Goodr sunglasses which were created for runners but can be worn with everyday, casual outfits. They are also affordable and durable (with a one-year warranty). Each pair of Goodr glasses has a goofy name like Thanks, They’re Vintage or Sunbathing With Wizards. If you are looking for a basic black pair, then you’ll want their Operation:Blackout sunglasses with polarized lenses.
