Retro or futuristic? Huge or tiny? When it comes to sunglasses, the only wrong answers this season are “medium” and “modern”. If you were wondering what the latest fashion trends affecting eyewear are, then check out our guide, which we wrote in collaboration with EyeOns.
Oversized Sunglasses
No matter how big your current sunglasses are, chances are they are no match for the trendy oversized XL frames. Almost absurdly large sunglasses are all the rage, and we suggest hopping on the hype train as well — it is a rare example of a trend being both fun and healthy. As EyeOns experts explain, oversized frames are likely to cover most of your field of vision, meaning better protection from UV rays, making it our favorite look for the season.
What makes it even better is that these sunglasses will look good on almost any face type, since they draw all the attention to themselves anyway, so it doesn’t matter if they fit great or just okay.
90s Style
Smaller rectangular or oval frames are back in the mainstream after 30 years on the periphery of popular fashion. We believe they also won’t stay for long, so if you were meaning to wear these for quite some time now, this is your chance — don’t miss it.
What makes these glasses interesting is that they generally define your whole outfit — it is difficult to match them with anything that’s not 90s as well, so you might go for an old-school look, or experiment with creating your own unique outfit.
Mirrored shield
Shiny, sleek, metallic, and huge — if you want to draw attention, there is no better choice than these frames. Stylish to the point of being over the top, mirrored shield sunglasses work well with both high-end dresses and casual outfits and can define your whole look on their own. If you were looking for the key accessory for the season to build your style around, we definitely recommend buying a pair of these.
Micro Frames
This season is all about polar opposites and extremes — you can either go big with oversized frames or choose a different route with micro sunglasses. While they may not be as comfy as other options, these certainly look stylish and avant-garde, so they work well as a fashion statement. While they might be difficult to properly integrate into your casual style, wearing them at high-end events will certainly draw attention and show that you’re on the trend.

Once again, this season you either go back to the 90s or back to the future. Matrix-style futuristic sunglasses are very popular and might stay that way for a while, with many celebrities opting for them. While definitely over the top, they still can work well with more serious outfits as long as you know how to keep them balanced, so we suggest trying them out while you have the opportunity.
