    8 Biggest Sunglasses Trends for 2021

    By Ellen | b | Comments are Closed | 4 June, 2021 | 0

    Sunshine at last! And because it’s not just annoying to have to squint but also causes pesky wrinkles, you need a pair of stylish sunglasses. But which ones should you choose? In this blog post, we’ve summarised the eight biggest sunglasses trends for summer 2021 – with practical links to models for both men and women so you can get shopping straight away.

     

    1) White Sunglasses

    THE trend par excellence for 2021: sunglasses with thick, white acetate frames, either in elegant cat-eye shape or in round retro style. Incidentally, white sunglasses are just as wearable for men as they are for women, as Kurt Cobain once impressively showed. Combined with all white outfits or as a contrast to grunge styles, they are a real eye-catcher.

    2) Aviator Sunglasses

    The aviator sunglass style practically never goes out of fashion. Still, it’s all in the details. This summer, light colours and soft, earthy tones dominate instead of mirrored lenses. The aviator style is so popular for a reason  – it give its wearer an instant coolness boost and enhances any outfit.

    3) Square XXL Styles

    Big, bigger, Gucci! But it’s not just the Italian luxury brand, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, that relies on large-format sunglasses models  – the square XXL trend runs through all labels. These glasses have a tendency to dominate an outfit and therefore need to be combined carefully.

    4) Narrow Metal Frames

    If you prefer a more understated look, go for fine, elegant metal frames in summer 2021, preferably with discreet grey or brown tinted lenses. The perfect complement to minimalist skandi looks as well as classic styles.

    5) Sporty Shield Sunglasses

    Whether it’s draughts, sun rays or even Corona viruses: sporty visor-style shield sunglasses protect us from (almost) everything that can threaten us outside. Pandemic Chic provides a futuristic style with wraparound frames, adding the finishing touch to sporty outfits and high-end fashion looks.

    6) Transparent Frames

    The big trend in prescription glasses frames doesn’t stop at sunglasses either. Transparency and soft nude tones are here to stay for summer 2021, flattering every skin tone and hair colour.

    7) Round Sunglasses

    The world is round, so is the sun, and of course, round sunglasses are also here to stay. This summer, the most popular round sunglasses models are minimalist or retro styles with oversized lenses, such as the perennial favourite Round Metal by Ray Ban.

    Dolce & Gabbana | Versace | Ray Ban

     

    8) Neon Colours

    Need more of a pop effect? Here you go: bright sunglasses in neon colours are probably the most eye-catching sunglasses trend in 2021. Whether pink, green, yellow or orange  – anything with oomph is allowed. But here, too, it’s a must to combine them wisely with the right outfit so that you look like a catwalker and not a festival-goer.

     

    Get the look:

    Versace | Guess | Bottega Veneta

     

     


    Sunglasses Know-How:

    All sunglasses you can buy in the EU must have UV protection and are CE marked accordingly. This applies to cheap glasses as well as to high-priced ones. Expensive glasses have better quality frames and lenses, but it’s still worth taking a look at the specific UV protection rating to make sure that your eyes are well protected. If you are going to the mountains or the beach, you should choose glasses with a high level of protection such as UV 400. The tint should then also be at least category 3, i.e. only allow 8 to 18 percent of the light through. Category 4, which is even darker, is fine for mountaineering but no longer suitable for road traffic. So, keep your eyes open when buying sunglasses.
