7 Sunglasses That'll Complete Every Summer Outfit

·1-min read

With each change of the seasons comes the inevitable desire for newness, but also the need for functional pieces — and of course, it can also be the perfect opportunity to dabble in new trends.

In the summertime, no outfit feels complete without a pair of sunglasses. Last year, eyewear was all about making a statement (think cartoon-like frames and big bug eyes). This season, while your spectacles can still be...well, a spectacle, we're seeing way more pared-back silhouettes, inspired by vintage classics, such as narrow round and metal wire frames, as well as oversized aviators and cat-eye sunnies. Then, fashion's love for all things nostalgic meets its current obsession with F1 racing to support sporty racer shapes.

We pinpointed seven of the biggest trends happening in the sunglasses department. Choose your favorite (or favorites) at a range of prices for your sun-shielding pleasure, ahead.
