For the hot months of spring and summer, slim and wire-rimmed sunglasses tend to be most popular. But fall is the time for sweaters, jackets, windy days, and larger, more colorful sunglass styles. Here are a few sunglass styles that are in vogue this season.
Oversized Glamour
Starlets like Paris Hilton, Rachel Zoe and Gwen Stefani have helped make oversized glamor sunglasses extremely popular. But oversized sunglasses are as hip as they are practical, for they cover your face for protection against gusty winds. Match the lenses to your hair color or your outfit for the perfect fall look.
Aviators
Classic Aviators are always in style, true, but they look especially good in the fall. And newer Aviator designs have been getting more and more popular. In the past few years aviator styles have gotten larger and brighter, and metal frames no longer have a monopoly on Aviator designs: plastic frames are now very much in vogue. One of the best things about Aviator glasses is that they are versatile and have a style that is irrespective of the wearer’s gender or age.
Colored Frames
It’s not just the lenses that are allowed to stand out nowadays. The color and design of the frames can be a huge fashion asset. This fall, choose muted beiges and yellows. Berry and honey shades are also in style and they look great with that tan you’ve been working on all summer. Another popular trend in frames that’s coming back is the faux tortoiseshell styles.
The Lennon Sunglasses
The small, round lens sunglasses made so popular by legendary singer songwriter John Lennon are more popular than ever this year. New takes on the Lennon glasses include thicker, plastic frames of different colors.
Jewel Studded Shades
Elaborate sunglass design elements can turn a simple frame into a piece of jewelry. A class fashion designers like Gucci and Dior are putting out more and more lavish sunglass styles, and many other brand names are following suit. This fall, check out some of the more flashy shades out there. Jewel studded frames lacquered in black or gold are guaranteed to make you stand out as soon as you walk into the room. Luxury and opulence, when it comes to sunglasses, is definitely in.
