This year, we're seeing the classic sunglasses shapes and colors reimagined.

Mirrored Sunglasses

Mirrored Sunglasses

Each year, there is a single vestige of a futuristic trend, and this season, it's mirrored sunglass. Sunglasses of all sizes lend themselves well to the trend, as it has less to do with shape and more to do with the lens treatment. No matter what style frame you love most, make it mirrored this year.

Circle Sunglasses

Circle Sunglasses

This season, when you reach for a rounded pair of sunglasses, choose ones that are more oversized in scale than the micro-minis that have come in seasons past. In particular demand for 2023 are classic Aviator styles, made fresher and newer by way of their circular shapes.

White Sunglasses

White Sunglasses

While white generally falls into the same neutral color category as black, sunglasses are different. There's something about the bright white frame that makes it stick out from the rest — almost as if it were a bright neon tone. But with the white sunglasses trend, you can truly wear it with everything you own. They're a must have for 2023.

Oversize Sunglasses

Oversize Sunglasses

While sunglasses trends come and go, oversize shades are forever in style. Whether it's a 1960s rounded frame, early-aughts squared-off shape, or something in between, there will never be a time where you don't love mixing your oversize sunnies into your rotation.

Barbiecore-Pink Sunglasses

Barbiecore-Pink Sunglasses

The color pink did more than just infiltrate your ready-to-wear wardrobes for the year. In fact, as the temperature gets warmer, it's your sunglass drawer that's about to get the Barbiecore treatment. Whether you love a retro cat-eye, prefer a futuristic mirrored style, or gravitate toward a classic Wayfarer, try a bit of color with pink sunnies this year.

Angular Sunglasses

Angular Sunglasses

Consider this year's angular sunglasses a modern-day cat eye. With upturned sides and an oversized shape, it feels equal parts retro and futuristic. Shop these styles in classic tones like black and tortoise to allow the shape to stand on its own.
