There's no summer without great eyewear—here are the six sunglasses trends defining the season.

This summer, frames are out to play,&nbsp;bringing new avenues of style, color, and shape into the game. After seasons dominated by a single silhouette or color, a diverse range of styles is now circulating all at once, leaving it up for you to decide which one is perfectly yours without being influenced by fleeting fads.<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/colored-sunglasses-fashion-accessory-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Color</a> is holding a spot this time, with unexpected shades and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/yellow-lens-sunglasses-shopping-rihanna-tinted-sunnies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tints</a> reframing what a neutral can look like and what a lens can offer. But shape and detail are keeping pace with silhouettes quietly returning to embellishments, adding details in the lens, along the temple, in the weight of the metal, and in small touches that turn a good pair into a great one.Classic brands like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/who-was-celine-vipiana-the-first-founder-and-designer-at-celine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celine</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jimmy-choo-noir-kei-ninoyima-collaboration-footwear-accessories-leather-shoes-where-to-buy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Choo</a> continue to do what they have always done well, and brands like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gentle-monster-jewelry-collection-2025-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gentle Monster</a> release unique and exciting collections that are unexpected but equally compelling. Together, they make a case for a summer where there is genuinely a frame for everyone.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Sunglasses Trends: Burgundy Eyewear</h2>

2026 marked the quiet revival of burgundy as a year-round neutral. Where tortoise reads warm and black reads severe, burgundy splits the difference and is rich enough to feel deliberate, but dark enough to mean it. It works in the winter with a camel coat and in summer against the sun and bare skin. This is the frame color that finally makes a case for itself.

A perfect entrance to burgundies and reds. Lightweight and exactly the shade that works for any occasion that your day may entail.The Kaya JF Colors, $148, <a href="https://www.jimmyfairly.com/en-us/products/p0710-c453es-kaya-jf-colors?srsltid=AfmBOopJgjoIRdxN-MJR6p6JuEOACh3CIyEcj-q6L7rAIQYKdSIgpcpP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Fairly</a>

The Triomphe needs no introduction, and in burgundy, it doesn’t bother giving one. Celine’s most recognizable silhouette is in the shade that brings warmth to your face and color to your outfit.Triomphe 15 Sunglasses in Acetate, $550, <a href="https://www.celine.com/en-us/women/accessories/sunglasses/triomphe-15-sunglasses-in-acetate-4S308CPLB.28BP.U.html?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_content=brand&amp;utm_campaign=Celine_FLG_USA_PLA-ROAS_UNI_MUL_OGOING_EC_SHOP_GSHO_CRD_ENG_USD_NAPP_NAMER&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=1967889563&amp;gbraid=0AAAAACy3BrUDa4qaSFTo2kuh0ZEApVA_G&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwgO7RBhBKEiwAZNP85vhOlAlDZcQCXlHYLtsOG78LujZrvzQ2JCJMPKeY2n8pjxPDxMOM-hoC_i4QAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celine</a>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Sunglasses Trends: Screen Protector Frames</h2>

Every decade has its outré sunglasses shape, from 2000s bug-eyes to 2010s micro shades. Now the 2020s can claim their own: shield sunglasses. Dramatic oversize styles with chunky frames or wraparound lenses are shaping up to be summer's wardrobe MVP.

Jonathan Anderson has always dressed people who move. The Speed Shield is for whoever wants to look like they just arrived from practically anywhere.Speed Shield sunglasses, $590, <a href="https://www.loewe.com/usa/en/women/accessories/sunglasses/speed-shield-sunglasses-/G314MSKX01-1742.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loewe</a>

Miu Miu’s interpretation is intoxicating, and the name admits it. A wraparound lens softened just enough to fit it for the runway rather than the racetrack.Ivresse sunglasses, $440, <a href="https://www.miumiu.com/us/en/p/ivresse-sunglasses/SMUB14_E25N_FE70M_C_U033" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miu Miu</a>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Sunglasses Trends: Yellow-tinted Lenses</h2>

Everything looks golden in them, which is, of course, entirely the point. Yellow-tinted lenses cast the world in a perpetual late-afternoon light, sundrenching everything with a kind of easy joy that feels hard to replicate in any other way. Optically, they sharpen contrast and reduce glare, and practically, they make an ordinary Tuesday feel like the last day of a good vacation. The lens color does more emotional labor than any accessory has a right to.

Tom Ford takes the aviator, already a frame built and loved, and tints the lens yellow. A small change that shifts the entire mood, from classic to something considerably more sure of itself.Icon Pilot Sunglasses, $725, <a href="https://www.tomfordfashion.com/en-us/icon-pilot-sunglasses/FT1225.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqVS62clM3hAe8bZlrNXXjM4qGeXgVfcBUNfZpKBtsJA3YtlIgs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Ford</a>

Tiffany’s contribution to the yellow lens moment is, predictably, the most elegant one. Havana acetate and a yellow tint: two things that have always belonged together, finally introduced. The result is a pair of sunglasses that makes the world look the way a Tiffany box feels.Havana sunglasses, $303, <a href="https://solsticesunglasses.com/products/tiffany-co-0tf4255u-0tf4255u?variant=42922003038292" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiffany &amp; Co.</a>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Sunglasses Trends: Metal Frames</h2>

A return to the architecture of it all, a structural piece just as flattering as it is sound. Metal sits differently on the frame than acetate—lighter and crispier, with an edge that doesn’t soften in the heat. The best versions are thin-bridged and understated, letting the material do what it’s always done best: hold its shape. The frames built to outlast every other thing you’re wearing.

The plaque does the talking. Prada’s metal frames are for whoever doesn’t need to explain themselves but appreciates that others will notice anyway.&nbsp;Sunglasses with the iconic metal plaque, $580, <a href="https://www.prada.com/us/en/p/sunglasses-with-the-iconic-metal-plaque/SPRB53_EZVN_FE02C_C_052" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prada</a>

Persol has been making metal frames in the same Italian factor since 1918, and this pair shows the decades spent perfecting everything around it. These lenses are the ones you buy once and keep for longer than you planned.PO1028S, $383, <a href="https://www.sunglasshut.com/us/persol/po1028s-8056262738658?cid=PM-FGS_201019-5.US-SGH-EN-NB-NA-Pmax-NA-NA-NA-Ecom-NA_8056262738658&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=19671802270&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADkhOjOz-irvtZgcjur-7p2aM-TqJ&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwgO7RBhBKEiwAZNP85tGzYiTfEKmYmhw4TZR5jJuviXcJMcG3X6YaHOnGHhZdkb9vOi4C9RoCvdgQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Persol</a>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Sunglasses Trends: Oval 90’s Inspired</h2>

Carolyn Bessette wore them, and now everyone wants to. The oval frame is the shape of someone who was ahead of the trend before it became one. Small, dark, and inexplicably certain. It works because it doesn’t try, no strong geometry or wide lens, just a silhouette that keeps returning because it never really left.

This is the frame. If you know, you know, and now everyone does. Selima’s Aldo is the next closest thing to wearing a piece of Carolyn Bessette herself.Aldo sunglasses, $580, <a href="This%20is%20the%20frame.%20If%20you%20know,%20you%20know,%20and%20now%20everyone%20does.%20Selima’s%20Aldo%20is%20the%20next%20closest%20thing%20to%20wearing%20a%20piece%20of%20Carolyn%20Bessette%20herself." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Selma Optique</a>

Named for Paris’s most self-assured neighborhood, and delivering exactly that energy. An oval acetate frame that has clearly decided it does not need your approval, but surely takes it anyway.&nbsp;Marais sunglasses, $285, <a href="https://us.jimmychoo.com/en/women/accessories/sunglasses/marais/black-and-grey-oval-acetate-sunglasses-MARAIS0JC5068UE87014099.html?geoip=geoip&amp;updatePreLocale=true&amp;cm_mmc=GoogleUS-_-Shopping-_-Shopping-_-J000185889001&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=23228074314&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADvZht2HxRbWgdi2-MWU6XNoffBwD&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwgO7RBhBKEiwAZNP85sEElmbMOWlwlDkHvXdP6pOcqzZoNze8u1B9-Erz60x36QzYpjLk_BoCQGcQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Choo</a>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Sunglasses Trends: Embellished Arms</h2>

This is the detail you see only when someone walks away, and that is why it matters. Embellished temples turn a frame’s most overlooked feature into its most exciting one. It’s a payoff that’s personal and visible only at the right angle and the right moment. A craft detail that used to live on runways and has now quietly migrated to something you can actually wear out the door and in everyday life.

Gentle Monster has always treated eyewear as sculpture. The Bouquet Collection places flowers along the arm with the precision usually reserved for haute couture’s finishing hours.Vert 03 (CM), $345, <a href="https://www.gentlemonster.com/us/en/item/0Q04AJXM47349/vert02-cm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gentle Monster</a>

Bottega’s version is characteristically indirect, and the embellishment reveals itself slowly. An aviator style that rewards the second look, and the third, and adds the hint of a jewelry finish as well.Drop Aviator Sunglasses, $760, <a href="https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/drop-aviator-sunglasses-black-yellow-813136578.html?utm_source=google&amp;utm_source_platform=SA360&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=US%7CEN%7CPMX%7CAll%7CMulti%7CU%7CBestsellers&amp;utm_id=23066498816&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=23070576175&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADzcwEqvylIDRKIgzbuD1pxsUR_Pn&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwgO7RBhBKEiwAZNP85pGWxQ6Z99SGaGJeE9UPkvh16jDSEMYXBFL0wIEyR7X1Cvl3qRnEbRoCAzwQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bottega Veneta</a>
