The weather might be hot but we’re staying incredibly cool with the latest sunglasses trends to rep this summer.

The right frame has the power to completely elevate your look (ever wonder why Anna Wintour won’t be seen without them?), so we take our job very seriously when it comes to finding the pair of the moment. Plus, sunglasses are just as practical as they are playful – protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays and irritation – which means having sunnies on hand is an absolute essential. See? We’ve got you! 

From sporty specs to the hottest shades, we’ve found the sunglasses trends sure to catch your eye in 2025:

Whether you call them wraparound, speed racers or shield sunglasses, one thing remains the same – these iconic Y2K staples are here to play. The sporty silhouette made a timely comeback in 2024, fitting the brief for both the Olympics and Brat summer, and has quickly been embraced by fashion’s elite. Bonus points go to the avant-garde accessory for also being incredibly sun-safe!

Sure, oversized sunglasses are nothing new, but spring/summer 25 was definitely all about the bug-eyed look. OTT frames reigned supreme on the runway with thick and chunky sunnies on high rotation amongst the likes of Prada, Saint Laurent, Loewe, Miu Miu and Balenciaga. Simply pop on for a head-turning statement! 

 

Soft curves

Oh-so chic and discreet, small oval-shaped sunglasses are the way to go for pared back sophistication. First making the rounds in the nineties and noughties, the subtle frames aren’t as teeny tiny as the micro shades we loved in the late 2010s. Instead, opt for neutral toned and softly curved sunglasses for a subtle spectacle.

With Pantone dubbing Mocha Mousse as the 2025 Colour of the Year, it’s only natural we’re looking to adopt the delicious hue in our wardrobes. Chocolate brown sunglasses make for a delightfully on-trend addition to your ‘fit, while leaning on the versatility of the colour. Grounded and luxurious? We’ll sink our teeth into that!

Cowboy culture is full of fashionable inspiration, and this time we’re taking cues from their peepers. 70s-inspired aviators have bucked onto centrestage, catching looks with their contrasting colour lenses and chunky acetate frames. Now all we need is to find ourselves a rodeo rider and we’re basically Bella Hadid!
