Sunglasses are more than just eye-protection nowadays, they are also a fashion statement. A well-selected pair can elevate your look and solidify your signature style. But there are countless styles and shapes out there — so it’s normal to feel overwhelmed when trying to cop a something new. Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of the top trends and classic sunglasses for you –
1. The Wayfarer

The reason for the Wayfarer’s fame is that the style looks great on anyone and everyone. If you want a pair that you can wear with anything and that won’t go out of style, Wayfarer shades are a great choice. The Wayfarer style became, and continues to be, the eyewear of choice for celebrities and rock legends, with iconic artists like the Beatles, Billy Joel, Tom Cruise, and Orlando Bloom sporting the look. With its iconic history and celebrity endorsement, the Wayfarer shades have a rock n’ roll charm unrivaled by all other eyewear styles.
2. The Clubmaster (“Horn-Rimmed”)

You can’t go wrong with these iconic frames that have stood the test of time. The Clubmaster frames are indicative of a nostalgic era, but no matter what the era, they maintain their ability to command attention. They effortlessly balance retro with a kind of hipster-cool that cannot be achieved with any other eyewear style.
3. The Aviator

The Aviator and the Wayfarer consistently battle each other for the title of “most iconic sunglasses model in the world,” and it’s not hard to see why. The classic Aviator frame is metal, and is characterized by a double or triple bridge. You can never go wrong with a classic pair of Aviators, but if you’re wanting to try something on the trendier side, plastic rimmed Aviators should do the trick.
4. Round Frames
Round frame sunglasses
These frames are characterized by rounded–or perfectly circular–lenses and frames and give off a cool, trendy-meets-vintage vibe. Though round frames are traditionally associated today as being the frame of choice for those seeking a vintage edge (think John Lennon), round frames are also becoming a very popular trend.
5. Clear Frames

There’s something so effortlessly cool about clear frame sunglasses. Many brands offer most classic sunglasses shapes and styles with clear, or translucent-colored, frames. The frames will instantly update any look and add a touch of modern minimalist edge to whatever you wear. If you’re new to clear framed specs, we recommend a clear frame wayfarer-style pair for the perfect mix of classic-meets-modern.
6. Wooden Frames
Wooden frame sunglasses
Bring your look down to earth with natural wooden frames. Watches, tie bars, phone cases, and sunglasses are now being made of different wood varieties and the resulting look is undoubtedly stylish, unexpected, sustainable, and unique. From bamboo to walnut to mahogany to maple, find the perfect shade of wood that fits your style. These are by far the most innovative styles and are a great way to bring your look back to the basics.
