Sunglasses trend this summer

Leading Words: Retro style is still in vogue, mirror temples are more decorated, and monotonous colors are a thing of the past.

Sunglasses are more than just a way to protect your eyes from the sun — they're a must-have fashion accessory that adds coolness and style to any look. Whether you're out in the sun or not, sunglasses can elevate your overall appearance and make you stand out. With summer approaching, it's the perfect time to update your eyewear collection. So, what’s trending this year? What new styles should you be on the lookout for? And which ones suit your face shape best? Let’s dive into the latest trends and find out.

Trend One

Retro Style Still Trending

This year, retro-inspired sunglasses are making a strong comeback. Large, bold frames with shapes like butterfly and square are dominating the scene. These vintage designs bring a nostalgic vibe, reminiscent of classic Hollywood stars, offering a stylish yet unique look. The “big black” trend continues to shine, but now with more variety in styles. Oversized frames that cover a third of your face offer a touch of glamour, mystery, and confidence. Dark lenses not only look cool but also provide excellent UV protection.

Suitable for Face: Inverted Triangle

Wear Recommendations: If you have an inverted triangle face shape, opt for thicker frames with darker lenses and a slightly wider horizontal width. This helps balance your facial proportions and creates a more harmonious look. Retro models are especially flattering for this face shape.

Trend 2

More Creative Temple Designs

While last year saw some attention to temple details, this year brings even more creativity. The temples are now more elaborately decorated, with elements like diamonds, carvings, hollow designs, and gold plating. Some frames feature exaggerated shapes such as geometric patterns or strap-like designs, adding a luxurious, eye-catching touch.

Suitable for Face: Oval Face, Round Face

Wear Recommendations: For oval faces, choose lighter, thinner metal frames or frameless styles to reduce the weight on top of the face. For round faces, opt for slightly thicker frames with darker lenses to create a more defined look. Richly designed temples can draw attention and balance the overall style.

Trend III

Say Goodbye to Monotone Colors

In the past, sunglasses were mostly limited to black, purple, and red. This year, however, bold and vibrant color choices are taking center stage. Gradient colors like dark gray, earth tones, and blue-violet are becoming popular, along with contrasting combinations like black and white, red and green. Bright shades such as sapphire blue, rose red, and neon yellow are also making waves, especially among younger audiences.

If you’re looking for large sunglasses, brown and dark green are top choices this season. They’re not only stylish but also complement Asian skin tones well. For versatile wear, amber lenses are a safe bet — they match almost any outfit and work with all skin tones.

Suitable for Face: Small Face, Long Face, Square Face

Wear Recommendations: Small faces benefit from light or colorful frames that highlight their delicate features. Long faces can go for feminine pink or wine red lenses or gradient models to add brightness. Square faces should avoid overly large or boxy frames and instead choose sleek, narrow styles with amber lenses for a balanced look.
