Summer is upon us, and with it comes a wave of new styles. Maybe the most fun regarding summer style is discovering which sunglasses will be hot this year. The key to the hippest styles usually has nothing to do with what is brand new. The majority of “new” style trends are simply spins off of formerly worn, beloved fads. This summer’s sunglasses will be no exception to that theory.
For men and women’s sunglasses this year, bigger is definitely better. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have flaunted their flair for the oversized frames for the previous couple of years, and it looks like the trend has lastly taken hold. Oversized sunglasses, paying homage to the late, great Jackie O, seem to be not going anywhere soon. Nevertheless, fashion gurus will warn you not to go overboard with this idea. If the sunglasses seem to be swallowing your face, you may wish to take it down a notch.
Especially in the moment of the oversized framed sunglasses, women seem to be having fun with their colors. No longer is the Jackie O a plain black frame with dark black lenses. Today’s are Onassis Glasses with an attitude. Fashion icons can be seen sporting oversized frames in red, green, purple, and other bright colors. Nevertheless, white frames likewise appear to be a favorite.
One retroactive style of sunglasses that’s back again is no longer exclusive to men. Although guys love this look too, Aviators are striking a feminine note this year. These sunglasses are as versatile and fun as they’re functional. For the men, they could be found in dark colored or mirrored lenses, while women may favor purple or rose tints on these specific sunglasses. Rhinestones and other gems are added to the sides of the lenses for a bit flare.
Another particularly popular style of the moment for men and women is the wraparound. Don’t be fooled by the name. These aren’t your average snowboarder’s goggles turned sunglasses. This year’s wraparounds are being designed by some of the most celebrated designers in Hollywood, New York, Milan and everywhere in between. You won’t be dissatisfied.
Certain varieties of wraparound sunglasses are geared toward either men or women by changing up the style, color, and size. Women are leaning toward bigger styles, as with the oversized craze discussed earlier. For wraparound oversized sunglasses, stars such as Beyonce have been of inspiration to designers. One favorite is a square shape, and the lenses merely continue to the arms of the sunglasses and lay over the temples. This style too has been dressed up with rhinestones for a little shine.
Men’s wraparound sunglasses this year are all about sleek and simple design. The majority of designers have abandoned the flowing, rounded look of original wraparounds for a more box like effect. As with women’s wraparounds, the lens continues to the sides of the head. Black appears to be the most popular color in these men’s sunglasses, which completes the chic, classy look you want your man to have.
This summer embraces old styles of sunglasses with new attitude. Check the red carpets and runways for the latest developments and to make certain they style you’re having didn’t go out of style yesterday, how embarrassing! Just remember that all the celebrities in the world can’t stipulate what looks good on you, so pick your sunglasses based on what you like, not them.
