Sunglasses trends: the shapes.

Lenses and frames considered, the other obvious question is one of shape. The thing about sunglasses trends right now is that the two aforementioned factors make up so much of the trend factor that shape actually gets less of an emphasis. While in the past it’s largely been a question of cat eye, round, wayfarer or aviator, now pretty much any of those shapes goes as long as the rest of the factors have been well thought out.

Mirrored sunglasses: colours.

As for which colours of reflective shades to invest in? The choice is really yours, with vibrant blue being a top pick if you intend to get in front of a camera. Blue makes for one of the most striking colours in photographs, and the most stand-out addition to any outfit

The other brilliant thing about an on-trend pair of sunglasses is that you can find a pair at pretty much every price point. Invest in a designer or boutique label pair for something long-lasting, a vintage pair for bygone craftsmanship, or a high street version to get you through the summer with a variety of looks to choose from.
