Sunglasses aren’t just for blocking UV rays — they’re your everyday fashion power move. As we hit peak summer, we’ve rounded up the top sunglasses trends for 2025 that blend bold style with wearable elegance. Whether you’re on holiday or city-strolling, these are the frames worth investing in this season.
1. Sculptural Cat-Eyes
The cat-eye is back - but sharper and more sculptural. Think exaggerated wings and thicker frames that make a statement.
Why We Love It: Adds instant polish and vintage flair to any outfit.
Shop the Iconic Gigi.
2. Tortoiseshell Everything
From soft browns to amber flecks, tortoiseshell is the timeless neutral of eyewear. In 2025, it’s being paired with bolder shapes like chunky squares and modern ovals.
Why We Love It: Chic, warm-toned, and goes with everything.
3. Tinted Lenses in Pastel Shades
Rose-tinted, lavender, mint - this year’s lens tints are softer and moodier. These dreamy hues add a playful touch to even the simplest outfits.
Why We Love It: Perfect for festivals, brunch, or summer holidays.
4. Slim ’90s Frames
The minimalist moment continues. Slim rectangular frames, often with dark lenses or clear acetate, are still everywhere - especially paired with slicked-back hair and glossed lips.
Why We Love It: Cool, effortless, and surprisingly wearable.
Shop Ayda (on SALE now).
5. Oversized Energy
The “bigger is better” trend never really left, but in 2025, it’s gone glam. Oversized frames are squared-off, flat-top, or gradient-lens for extra drama.
Why We Love It: More coverage + major main character energy.
Shop Avery.
* Pro Styling Tip
Pair bold frames with minimal makeup and slick hairstyles to let your sunglasses do the talking. For softer trends (like tints), lean into colour play with lip gloss or pastel nails.
