Spring and summer’s biggest sunglasses trends are all about showing off your unique personality. There’s no more room for those blah pairs you reach for when you’re feeling uninspired—these bold, colorful, attention-grabbing pairs will bring out the best in all your warm-weather outfits (even if you’re just getting by in a tank top and some jeans).
On this season’s runways, two trends reigned supreme. In keeping with the big boho trend, Chloé and Miu Miu showed ’70s-style bohemian shades in their spring-summer shows, perfect for pairing with romantic dresses and vintage clogs; on the other end of the spectrum, Prada and Tory Burch sent futuristic, hyper-sporty sunglasses down the runway, making models look like they’d just left the gym. But that’s just the beginning of this season’s best sunglasses—so shop the pairs we can’t stop thinking about below.

1. Retro aviators
Cool girls are reclaiming chunky, ’70s-style aviators en masse—and we couldn’t be happier about it. While wire-rim options will never go out of style, the most popular material of the moment is thick, expressive plastic. These picks—including ultra-popular finds from Aire and Elisa Johnson—are bold enough to jazz up low-key outfits, yet versatile enough for more eye-catching ’fits like full suits and trendy dresses. And don’t ignore those aviator-shield hybrids, which instantly dial every look up to an 11.

2. Oval sunnies
Everywhere we look this spring, we keep seeing one very specific silhouette: ovals. It’s no surprise, considering they look good with everything and will never read as dated. The Celine Triomphe sunglasses arguably kicked off the trend, so that’s a great place to start; the silhouette is also available at every price point imaginable. Another major influence is Miu Miu’s Regard sunglasses, which are clearly on the mood board at other brands (and have been straight-up duped over at Amazon). You can’t go wrong with these playful, versatile options.

3. Boho frames
Ushered in by luxury labels like Chloé and now offered by just about everyone else, retro-boho silhouettes are one of the biggest stories of the season. They’re oversized, romantic, and eye-catching—everything a great pair of sunnies should be. (We could see Steve Nicks or Sienna Miller wearing any of these frames.) Try pairing your pick with a ruffled blouse and flared jeans or a maxidress and country sandals to keep your styling feeling effortless.

4. Sport-inspired shades
Athleticism is one of the biggest influences in fashion right now, and its power is only growing as summer inches closer. With the rise of elevated athleisure this year, it’s only natural that eyewear is also getting sportier; we’re still dreaming about the sunglasses from Tory Burch’s spring runway, which models wore as if they were on their way to a match. Wear these with a slinky tank and elevated sweats or wide-leg track pants to channel that active, moneyed energy.

5. Mod silhouettes
The ’60s are also on the way in—just ask Gucci, Prada, and Celine, which all channeled the decade’s hallmarks on this season’s catwalks. Accordingly, razor-sharp cateyes, buggy shades worthy of Jackie O, and horn-rimmed glasses are all back in the zeitgeist, just in time to punch up your shift dresses and knit polos. (It’s fitting, considering we’re now in another era of cultural upheaval.) Don’t be afraid to wear these vintage-inspired frames with more contemporary pieces; we’d love to see them styled with a paper-thin sweater and cutoff denim shorts.
