With the weather finally warming up for the summer it is time to get out your swimsuits and invest in a few new pairs of sunglasses.
Although the main purpose of sunglasses is to serve as UV protection from the sun, there is something satisfying about putting on a fresh pair of frames for the summer. Learn all about four sunglasses trends that are taking over this summer.
Bedazzled
In an ideal world, every girl should own a pair of bedazzled sunglasses. Whether they are oversized, Elton John-esque frames or angular, cat-eye frames, you can never go wrong with a pair of glittery glasses that will add a pop to any outfit.
Mirror, Mirror…
For the most casual summer sunglasses trend, sporty, mirrored sunglasses are the way to go. They not only add a statement to any outfit, but also add a sense of luxury since mirrored sunglasses are often associated with celebrities like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Beyonce and the Kardashians. They are great for UV protection and as the perfect accessory.
Hello Barbie!
With Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie set to be released on July 21, it is safe to assume that the color palette for this summer will consist of pink, pink, pink and more pink, and sunglasses are no exception. Whether you prefer pink frames or pink lenses, throwing on a pair of pink sunglasses is the perfect way to turn this summer into your own rose-tinted fantasy world.
The Bigger, the Better
Oversized frames – although they never went out of style – are back and bigger than ever this summer. If you, like me, are not a fan of the 90s, thin-lense sunglasses, this trend is for you. Everything from Paris Hilton to the 1970s, oversized frames are a perfect edition to any beach day or restaurant outing this summer.
