Angular Cat-Eye
A cat-eye is one of those classic sunglasses that always looks chic but this time around it’s being updated with a cool, angular spin. We’ve seen different variations, some extreme and some more laid back but whatever one you choose, you’re going to be the apple of everybody’s eye.

Stylish Squares
It’s finally hip to be square! Rectangular sunnies are all the rage this season and I for one am obsessed. No matter if you’re looking to be bold with a splash of colour or you’re a bit more reserved and can’t bear to break away from black, there’s a pair out there for you.

Sporty Shades
Thought you had to be a pro-athlete to rock sporty shades? Think again. This season we’re seeing a huge turnout of athletic-inspired sunglasses. They’re available in a wide range of sizes so you can go big with a shield-type of frame or you can test out the trend in a scaled-down version. The choice is yours!

Yellow-Tinted Aviators
Another classic sunglasses frame that hasn’t seen the end are aviators. Ever so chic and easy to wear, the aviator has again been updated because we’re not just seeing black or rose gold tints. These days, tints in yellow have started to make the rounds and while it might sound a bit ‘out there’, give it a shot because you’d be surprised at how easy they can be to wear and pull off!

Go For Gold
There’s something about a touch of gold, real or not so real, that feels so fancy and lush. If you’re looking to add a touch of luxury to your everyday outfits, even the one you keep re-wearing to the grocery store, then you’re in luck. Sunglasses with a hint of gold around the frame are kicking off this summer!

Think XL
If you thought oversized sunglasses were so 2004, then you’re sorely mistaken. Larger-than-life frames have come back and seem to be here to stay, at least for the SS21 season. If you think the trend isn’t for you, just know that after a sleepless night or a Zoom cocktail party that went too hard, hiding behind a giant pair of sunnies is the best beauty trick in the book!
