Aside from sun protection, the main objective when choosing summer accessories is to enhance your outfit. The warm weather and lack of layers that come along with it allow for more fun and freedom when choosing your accessories. There may not be many parameters when shopping for summer accessories, but something I always avoid is ones that lean tacky. Good news: The five summer accessory trends I'm highlighting below are anything but. In fact, they do the opposite of cheapening your outfits—they elevate them in one fell swoop.

Why just five accessories, you ask? Well, these are big ones, and among them all, they cover pretty much every category: a bag, a sandal, a piece of jewellery, a sunglasses style, and headgear. Something else to note about these accessories is that I have a strong feeling that they'll be sticking around for future summers, so they'll be smart, worthy wardrobe investments if you choose to make them. Scroll on to find out why they're so very useful and to shop my favourite options from each category.

1. Logo-Less Raffia Tote

Style Notes: Raffia totes are nothing new, and that's part of the reason they're such a smart purchase. This summer, in particular, the fashion crowd is gravitating toward classic logo-less totes.

2. Wraparound Sunglasses

Style Notes: You probably know by now that the coolest sunglasses to wear right now have a futuristic wraparound shape. They're so chic that they elevate literally any outfit they're paired with, so they're basically magic.

3. Leather Flip-Flops

Style Notes: All flip-flops are trending right now, but this most elegant, outfit-upgrading pair you can wear are leather ones—hands down.

4. Pendant Necklaces

Style Notes: Pendant necklaces are back, and it's bold, summary shapes on a long cord that the chicest dressers are embracing. They look especially chic paired with simple summer clothing.

Silk Head Scarves

StyleNotes: Baseball caps and raffia bucket hats are lovely headwear options, but the most 2026 accessory to wear on your head is a silky scarf. It pairs perfectly with a bikini, among other things.

In an increasingly oversaturated market, it can take a lot for a brand that makes sunglasses to stand out. As you know, aside from the eyewear-only brands, you also have a plethora of fashion brands that make sunglasses, so in 2026, the options are endless. One brand that falls into the latter category is an eternally buzzy one that wisely partnered up with a luxury brand for an ongoing collaboration that has paid off in leaps and bounds. And even though these frames don't even have a logo emblazoned on them (as most designer brands do), they're instantly recognisable to those in the know. The highly coveted sunglasses in question are Khaite x Oliver Peoples.

As a testament to the immense popularity of Khaite x Oliver Peoples, you'd be hard-pressed to find an It girl of the 2020s who hasn't been photographed wearing a pair on repeat occasions since the collaboration began in early 2023. New styles are added to the collection each season, routinely launching a plethora of eyewear trends in the process. Each pair of sunglasses is named after the year that it's inspired by, which adds a nice bit of context. Several styles have reached cult status, such as the modern cat-eye 1983C and the oval 1969C, but there isn't a pair among the offerings that isn't a stand-out. And you're sure to find an example of a celebrity (such as Dakota Johnson, Margot Robbie, or Olivia Rodrigo) wearing almost every one of them.

Now that you've listened to me wax poetic about the investment worthiness of Khaite x Olivier Peoples, keep scrolling for a glimpse at which sunglasses some of the It girls who love the brand are wearing, and to shop an assortment of chic styles.

Fashion people always have their fingers on the pulse. One thing that is always a given for a style connoisseur is their dedication to the details. Fashion is all in the minute, whether that's accessories or clothing—pieces that make an outfit chic. These details could also be called micro-trends. While trends tend to cycle through quite quickly these days, a micro-trend doesn’t, and some even make their way to the everyday mainstream.

I’ve been noticing most of the current micro-trends on TikTok and Instagram, but every now and then, a stylish coworker or neighbor will step out in them too. These tiny but mighty details completely elevate every outfit. They’re also pieces that may be everyday items with a twist, which is always welcome in my wardrobe. If you want to look just as fashionable and cool as a fashion person this spring, try wearing these elegant spring micro-trends for 2026.

Flower Applique Sandals

Cool girls are adding a fun element to their sandals for spring: flower appliqués. I never thought this would come back into trend, but here we are. This trend felt very nostalgic of girlhood. I remember having a pair of flower appliqué sandals as a child. Now, I'm having a full-circle moment, as it’s a mainstream trend again, even for adults. I love how fashion can have such a whimsical energy to it if you let it. Slide on a pair of these types of sandals instead of a plain pair if you want your outfits to pop more.

Two-Tone Flip-Flops

Flip-flops already had a big moment last year and are back and better than ever for this year, thanks to The Row’s viral pair of flip-flops. Now, the trend has been taken up a notch with a two-toned detail between the base of the shoe and the straps. Think red and black or pink and green. The options are such a fun way to add something interesting to an otherwise plain outfit. Style yours how all the It girls are with a pair of loose jeans and a button-down or lightweight sweater.

Shop Two-Tone Flip-Flops

Layering Lace Tops

This is my favorite trend out of the bunch. I love spring layering. While I was definitely over winter layering and its bulkiness, spring layering just gives me hope for summer and an excuse to make my outfit just a little more fun to wear and look at. I noticed one of my coworkers wearing a lace-trim top underneath a sweater on Instagram and couldn’t help but be intrigued. Then, more stylish dressers started layering lace tops underneath shirts and sweaters, so I knew the trend would be here to stay for spring.

Bug-Eyed Sunglasses

Gen Z fashion people, in particular, are really into the bug-eyed sunglass trend. They’re so dramatic, and I mean that in the best way. They give a diva-esque vibe and are perfect for especially bright days outside in the sun. Big sunglasses in this shape were very popular in the early aughts, and if you didn’t know, Gen Z is pretty into nostalgic styles these days. Spring 2026 is all about making the old new, and bug-eyed sunglasses are definitely in that category. Try styling yours with a basic tee and baggy jeans for a real 2000s indie sleaze look.

Shop Bug-Eyed Sunglasses

Sheer Balloon Pants

Sheer pants had a big moment last year, and so did balloon pants. Whoever thought to put the two trends together is a style genius. This pant trend has to be the chicest and most playful trend I’ve seen in a while. If you’re not super into the idea of wearing see-through pants, try styling them with full-coverage briefs, or just try them at the beach over a bathing suit, whether it be a one-piece or a bikini. Or style them with an oversized button-down so just your legs are revealed. I know sheer balloon pants this spring will be everywhere, and it could be fun to try out the trend if you’re feeling brave.

Silky Bermuda Shorts

Bermuda shorts are already in for spring, but silk Bermuda shorts are a whole new concept. The ease and comfort of the longer shorts trend has always been a go-to of mine, but now that there’s an option for a softer, more delicate item to wear this spring has me extra excited for the warm weather. While it’s simple enough to add to an outfit, it makes a world of difference, adding a sophisticated element to an outfit.

Our editors have years of industry experience, from reporting on seasonal fashion trends seen at international fashion weeks to working with some of the most recognizable names in fashion. Every item we recommend is carefully selected based on current trends, quality, and real-world wearability.

We regularly try pieces ourselves, including everything from best-selling jeans to designer shoes; speak to external experts and fashion insiders; and stay closely connected to what our readers are searching for. Our advice is grounded in expertise and has to pass our exceptional taste levels, so you can feel confident in every recommendation.

At Who What Wear UK, you can always trust our thorough and precise reporting on the next major runway trends. We were one of the first to declare florals for spring as genuinely groundbreaking, and if you started wearing a funnel neck jacket this season, you may well have seen it here first. But now we've checked off every print, colour, shoe and bag set to dominate this season, it's time to get more granular. With warmer days ever closer, there is no better time to take a look at one of the most underrated but hardest working accessories in our arsenal. The sunglasses trends you need to know about for 2026.

Just like ready-to-wear, designers offered up a range of styles, shapes and colours for spring/summer 2026. Some charmingly nostalgic, others a glimpse into what could be the next big thing, but it's fair to say that in all of the cat-eye, rectangular, circle and oversized pairs, there is something to suit every personality.

As it turns out, 2026's most important sunglasses trends can be categorised not just by shape, but also by the wearer. If you have a penchant for the pared-back, ultra-clean, Jil Sander-esque brand of minimalism that gained traction in the '90s, I might steer you towards a classic or oval pair of sunglasses. If however you prefer print-clashing, haphazard layering and have ever been described as "loud", I would draw your attention to Loewe's aviator 2.0.

Curious to find out the sunglasses trend that works for your style tribe? Keep scrolling to see and shop the styles we're confident you're going to see everywhere this year. Your outfit won't feel complete without them.

The Biggest Sunglasses Trends of 2026

1. The Classicist

Style Notes: Eternally chic, classicists are not one for flash-in-the-pan trends, they are looking for the pair of sunglasses that will go with everything they own. Ready to invest in styles that will last a lifetime, you won't find classists in anything "buzzy", instead they prefer to focus on sleek styles in their favourite colour (read: black), and if anything can make them stray away from Ray Ban Wayfarers and Celine Triomphes, it's going to be this season's soft cat-eye and "squoval" as seen on the runways of Coperni, Magda Butrym, Courrèges and Givenchy.

Shop Black Sunglasses:

2. The Alt Insider

Style Notes: The future is bright, like, really bright according to the alt insider. Never one to blend in with the crowd, this experimental dresser is most likely to be sporting 2026's most divisive sunglasses trend: supersized, colour-pop aviators that wrap around the face. Always the person with multiple pairs of sunglasses in their rotation for different looks and moods, insiders will appreciate the rich colour palette and sculptural shapes sported at Loewe, Miu Miu and Pierre Cardin as the fun way to introduce a little (extra) drama to their look.

Shop Aviator Sunglasses:

3. The Boho Spirit

Style Notes: With the return of boho chic in the wake of Chemena Kamali's viral debut at Chloé, it was only a matter of time until one of the trend's key accessories made a comeback too. Not not disc belts, but large, seventies-inspired bug eye sunnies. Free sprits and romanticists will love the ethereal, rose-tinted lenses (as seen quite literally at Zimmermann and Chloé), and vintage fans will be happy to see larger than life square and circle frames back on the agenda for this year too. Now all you need to complete the look is a billowing blouse, flared jeans and a great pair of platforms.

Shop Oversized Sunglasses:

4. The 90's Minimalist

Style Notes: The nineties called, and oval sunglasses are back, but any self-confessed minimalist will already know that. If you've got plenty of slip dresses, white tank tops, knee length skirts and court shoes in your wardrobe, oval sunnies will slip (pun intended) into your roster along with all of your Ralph Lauren separates. After the last few months have given us a new found obsession for ladylike dressing, kitten heels and all things CBK, the forecast for the rest of the year is "polished to perfection", and whether wire rimmed or acetate, oval sunglasses are the perfect finishing touch.

Shop Oval Sunglasses:

5. The Y2K Devotee

Style Notes: The tech boom of the early noughties was directly responsible for the ultra-slick, high-shine glamour of the 2000s. Gadgets, metallics, sparkle and gloss, the new age of excess was all about logomania and dare I say, "bling", and those who have caught the millennium bug all over again are leaning into the "more is more" approach to fashion with aplomb. Expect Y2K devotees to be first one on and last one off the dancefloor (and they wear the 24/7 Party Girl title like a badge of honour). They might not have much else in their tiny handbags, but there will be a pair of statement sunglasses in there, and in all likelihood it will be a cyber-inspired metallic or a decadent designer pair perfect for a bleary eyed morning after. Take tips from Casablanca, Valentino and Jean Paul Gaultier and look for silver frames, eccentric shapes or heavy branding to get the look.

Are you excited for the new season? Because I certainly am! Taking a look at the spring/summer 2026 shows, and the array of handbags, shoes and accessories on offer really gets me chomping at the bit for the new year ahead, and all of the styling opportunity that comes with it.

Not only do I like to write about the trends each season, but, luckily, I get to work with them in the flesh, too—styling celebs, models, and even my fellow editors for photoshoots, try-ons and cover stories. In the run-up to these styling projects, I find myself frantically pinning, saving down and screenshotting all of the trends I see. Right now, I am focusing my efforts on accessories, as these are the finishing touches I know that can make or break a look.

I'm seeing emerging trends across Paris, London, Milan and New York that I know will go mainstream in 2026. From belts, jewellery, sunglasses and gloves, these finer details give real character, direction, and punctuation to an outfit, taking it from boring to a masterpiece.

I'm sharing my findings with you below, as I don't like to gatekeep. Scroll on to see my biggest accessories trends for 2026, and how to shop the styles now.

The Biggest Accessories Trends for 2026:

1. Shield Sunglasses

Style Notes: Tiny, rounded, bookish sunglasses and spectacles are out. Big, bug-like, and sporty eyewear is in. I spotted this trend take shape at some of the top labels showing in Paris and New York, such as Coach, Saint Laurent, Victoria Beckham and Loewe, indicating that the demand for oversized eye protection has gone global. I think this trend works best with tortoiseshell frames to keep things a little bit classic, and smoked-out, tinted lenses to give that paparazzi-fleeing factor.

Shop The Trend:

2. Celestial Crystals

Style Notes: Celestial fashion has gone viral, and I am taking note of this trend waving its sparkling hand over earrings, necklaces and hair accessories, too. XXL crystals, bursts of silver, tangles of fine chains and asymmetrical gems resemble galaxies and nebulae far, far away—and I'm all for it. Simona Rocha, Chanel, Givenchy and Dries Van Noten handled this trend best, adding eye-catching jewellery to otherwise simple looks and garments, such as trench coats, tuxedo shirting and t-shirts, for a final, twinkling flourish.

Shop The Trend:

3. Utility Belts

Style Notes: Historically, I don't think belts get enough airtime. That is all to change in 2026, as designers look to give this accessory a serious rebrand. I've noted some of fashion's biggest players adding utility features, such as clips, key chains, phone holders, and even AirPod cases to belts, making them more useful and more stylish than ever. And hold the boring black belts. Runway brands such as Toga, Miu Miu, Meryll Rogge and Coperni are bringing us pop-colour tones, braided fabrications, and chunky buckles, as well as even doubling up on belts, further cementing this accessory as something which can be fun, playful and all the while, functional.

Shop The Trend:

4. Princess Gloves

Style Notes: Princess treatment, or bare minimum? I know which one I prefer! This humble accessory is going full girlie for 2026, with lace, sequins, satin and pastel tones coming to the fore, giving a pretty, lady-like touch to dresses and skirt outfits. Yes, gloves were the item du jour on the runways for spring/summer 2026, with Valentino, Simone Rocha, Yuhan Wang and Prada showing us how it's done. I believe this trend taps into the desire to dress up, get glam and put on your most decadent togs, so add this mood to your 2026 vision board if you're ready to take up the gauntlet. Pun intended!

Shop The Trend:

5. Chunky Chains

Style Notes: Another jewellery trend, if you will. I took note of extra-large, chunky chain motifs taking over at Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Celine and Chanel (four of fashion's most in-demand brands), across necklaces and statement earrings. One part surrealist, two parts maximalist, but 100% glamorous. Add an unexpected twist to your daytime looks by mixing gold and silver, twisted knots, oval links and industrial feel chains into your jewellery rotation. Into heavy metal? This one's for you.

With summer officially here, I've started to think about the items I want to invest in to make my warm-weather wardrobe feel fresh. Although a new item of clothing may be the most obvious choice, the truth is that I'm unlikely to branch out from those staple pieces that I feel comfortable and stylish in—think navy linen trousers, black tank tops and white cotton skirts. Luckily for me, I'm a firm believer that even the smallest of items can take your outfit from simple to elevated, and the new season has provided me with a number of trendy but equally timeless accessories to freshen up my classic outfits.

For 2025 in particular, I've looked at some of the most stylish European dressers on my Instagram feed drawing inspiration from Paris and London to Copenhagen and Oslo. And while a basket bag and a pair of fisherman sandals will never date, the coolest dressers are turning to slightly more niche accessory trends that feel just that little bit fresher for 2025, but will also last in your wardrobe for many years to come.

From chunky statement bangles and playful jelly sandals to sleek silk scarves and delicate jewellery, keep scrolling to see the seven fresh accessory trends that I've spotted on European fashion people for summer 2025.

7 Chic European Accessories Trends for Summer 2025

1. Resin Bangles

Style Notes: Resin bangles have been around since the seventies, but this bold accessory is no longer associated with the boho aesthetic like it once was. For 2025, these chunky bracelets can be stacked up to add interest to even the most minimalist of outfits.

Shop the Trend:

2. Jelly Sandals

Style Notes: As someone who grew up in the early noughties jelly sandals were a key part of my younger years, and I'm glad to say that they're back for 2025. Unlike the glittery styles that we all probably owned when we were younger, European fashion people are turning to more pared-back, simple styles that perfectly balance playfulness with sophistication.

Shop the Trend:

3. Statement Ring

Style Notes: Any stylish dresser will tell you that statement jewellery is a fail-proof way to make an outfit look chicer. For 2025, however, fashion people are turning to more delicate styles that still make a statement but look a lot more refined and fit seamlessly into any outfit. Take Annabel's serpentine ring, for example.

Shop the Trend:

4. Cord Necklace

Style Notes: An easy way to add personality to your minimalist summer outfits is with a statement cord necklace. The perfect balance between a nostalgic vibe and a modern appeal, the beauty of this necklace lies in its ability to be worn for both casual and formal occasions alike.

Shop the Trend:

5. Neutral Silk Scarf

Style Notes: Satin scarves are not technically a new trend, however, unlike the bolder-coloured prints we've seen in previous years, stylish dressers are opting for neutral hues that can be incorporated easily into a wider range of summer outfits. Throw over your head as Emmanuelle has, tie around the handle of your tote, or wrap around your waist to add interest to your white-tank-and-linen-trousers combo.

Shop the Trend:

6. Rectangular Sunglasses

Style Notes: Chunky square sunglasses will never date, but if you want to try out a fresh pair, opt for a slightly slimmer rectangular silhouette. This slimmer, slightly more '90s shape will make every outfit look intentional and ultra-chic.

Shop the Trend:

7. Straw Bucket Hat

Style Notes: Arguably the most practical accessory of the bunch, I'm already seeing straw bucket hats everywhere on the streets of London. With the ability to make any outfit look instantly cool, along with the ability to keep you protected from the harsh sun, this is an accessory that you'll pull out year after year.

If there's one accessory I can never resist, it's a good pair of sunglasses, and not just because they pull a look together in that effortless way we all strive for (though they absolutely do). For me, sunglasses are as much about practicality as style. I'm that person who wears them year-round, partly because I'm light-sensitive and partly because they add a layer of cool to even the most basic outfits (and we all know they work wonders at hiding tired eyes after a late night).

But beyond convenience, sunglasses feel slightly transformative, able to change the entire mood of your outfit; a simple jeans and tee combo instantly feels considered with a sleek cat-eye or oversized frame. And then there's their actual purpose: protecting our eyes and the eye area. Dermatologists will tell you that the skin around your eyes is the most delicate on your face, and so shielding it from harmful UV rays is a smart long-term investment for your eye and skin health, too. So really, designer sunglasses do much more than they get credit for.

That said, finding the right pair can feel overwhelming. The options are endless, the shapes feel technical and once you add a luxury price tag into the mix, the decision starts to feel even more loaded. I've been lucky enough to build a small but considered collection of designer sunglasses over the years, all slightly different in style, shape and brand. Through that process, I've learned a lot about which frames suit which face shapes, which styles have longevity beyond just one season, and the labels that really nail that sweet spot between trend-led and timeless. Because let's be real: if you're spending upwards of £300 on a pair of sunglasses, you want to know you'll love them for more than just one summer.

Right now, I've noticed a particular line-up of designer sunglasses cropping up everywhere, from my Instagram feed to my favourite stylish celebrities and even a few editors in the Who What Wear UK office. This season, there's a mix of references at play: a little bit of '90s minimalism, a touch of Y2K playfulness and plenty of oversized, face-shielding shapes that feel as functional as they do fashionable.

I decided to take the talk offline and do a proper designer sunglasses try-on, testing out the five key styles dominating both the spring/summer 2025 runways and real life. Of course, whilst designer brands continue to push newness, the high street isn't far behind. I've seen Zara, Mango, and COS delivering excellent alternatives at accessible price points. But if you're ready to invest, I’ve done the legwork to help you make a more informed choice with this designer sunglasses try-on.

Below, I'm breaking down five of the season's most talked-about styles: what I loved about them, how I'd style them and who I think they'll work best for. So, without further ado…

Shop the Five Chicest Designer Sunglasses:

1. Celine Triomphe Oval-Frame Sunglasses

Style Notes: I've long thought that white-framed sunglasses were intimidating, but the Celine Triomphe Oval-Frame Sunglasses have officially changed my mind. The slightly elongated oval shape gives off a very deliberate '60s-mod vibe without veering into costume territory. I think these would look great on my next holiday, paired with a simple black slip dress and oversized blazer for a look that's cool but not try-hard.

The white acetate feels fresh for summer and would look particularly good against sun-kissed skin (or a bit of bronzer). The Triomphe logo at the temples is subtle but adds that elevated touch you expect from Celine. Some would say this style suits oval and heart-shaped faces best, but honestly, they're so versatile that I think anyone can pull them off. They're a great statement pair that still feels wearable day-to-day.

Shop the Sunglasses:

2. Tom Ford Square Frame Sunglasses

Style Notes: The aviator shape has been around forever, but Tom Ford's version is, unsurprisingly, one of the strongest I've seen. The oversized lenses are slightly squared off, which makes them feel more contemporary and less Top Gun. The subtle silver detailing on the arms catches the light, and the weight of the frames feels sturdy without being heavy. These are great if you prefer sunglasses that are a bit more androgynous or larger in size. I'd call these a safe bet if you want designer sunglasses you'll genuinely wear on repeat. I can see them with a simple white T-shirt, slouchy dark denim and loafers; an outfit formula I've spotted countless times on Kaia Gerber and Hailey Bieber.

Shop the Sunglasses:

3. Bottega Veneta Sardine Oval-Frame Sunglasses

Style Notes: Bottega Veneta's Sardine Oval sunglasses perfectly exemplify the brand's current design language: sculptural and directional but still wearable. The slim silver-tone frame is delicate but substantial, giving a subtle futuristic edge that I'm seeing a lot of this season. As you can guess, the name comes from the Sardine-shaped arms, which make these sunglasses a sure conversation starter. They work brilliantly with minimalist outfits; think a simple grey vest top, loose tailored trousers and pointed-toe flats. They have a way of pulling focus without overwhelming your look, so if you want your designer sunglasses to deliver something a little unexpected, this is the pair.

Shop the Sunglasses:

4. DiorPacific Rectangular-Frame Sunglasses

Style Notes: Rectangular frames are still having a major moment, and Dior's Pacific pair is one of the sleekest iterations I've tried. There's something distinctly '90s about them; they're very Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy walking through New York in an oversized coat and jeans. The thick black acetate frames are bold but easy to wear, especially if you like a shape that can work with both casual and more elevated looks. I was wearing an oversized blazer, white tee and baggy jeans combo when I tried them on, and they worked perfectly. I could just as easily see them with a silk slip skirt and boxy tee for summer evenings, so if your designer sunglasses checklist includes versatility, these score high.

Shop the Sunglasses:

5. Miu Miu Oval-Frame Sunglasses

Style Notes: Miu Miu has mastered the art of playful sophistication, and these oval frames are a perfect example. The shape is very current (thanks in part to the brand's influence over TikTok trends), but the black acetate gives them a classic edge that won't date quickly. I can definitely see myself wearing these with a simple navy knitted co-ord and ballet flats, channelling that coquette-meets-Parisienne vibe we're seeing everywhere right now. They’re surprisingly flattering on round and square face shapes thanks to the gentle curve of the lenses. If you want something both trend-led and practical, these strike the right balance.

It’s often said that wearing sunglasses in Britain can be somewhat performative—after all, the sun is rarely bright enough to demand protection. Whilst I’d contend that this is incorrect, anyone with a sense of style would know that sunglasses are more of a state of mind anyway.

Like a great designer bag or pair of shoes, this accessory helps tie a look together like a metal-framed bow. "I don’t ever leave the house or a hotel without a pair of sunglasses," confessed Kendall Jenner in a 2023 video chronicling a week of her life in looks. "I just feel safe behind them," she revealed.

Admittedly, sunglasses do give a bit of privacy and act as a sort of optical armour, which explains why celebrities are never spotted without them. But for those of us who aren't constantly hounded by paparazzi and don’t live in a climate where they’re a year-round necessity, sunglasses are still worthy of a place in our wardrobes. Depending on the shape, lens colour and finish, the right pair of shades can completely transform your look. Yes, they can become an inextricable part of your identity à la Joan Didion and her Celine Triomphe oval sunglasses, but they also serve to lean into whatever story you’re trying to tell with your outfit.

This year, the resounding message from the biggest sunglasses trends for 2025 is a sense of nostalgia. The styles of note aren’t new by any means, but rather modern renditions of vintage shapes like 1960s round sunglasses, '70s retrofuturism, '80s-style aviator designs and late-'90s-to-early '00s skinny metal frames. But, as is sometimes the case with fashion, you have to go backwards to go forward.

Ahead, find the six defining sunglasses trends of 2025 and the best styles to shop.

The 6 Biggest Sunglasses Trends of 2025

1. Heavy Metal and Reflective

Style Notes: Keanu Reeves might’ve popularised rimless sunglasses with The Matrix, but this trend takes cues from other stars of the decade like Gwyneth Paltrow, Lisa Bonet and the then-young Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in 1998’s Billboard Dad. Though this trend was in fashion nearly 30 years ago, the sentiment remains the same. Look for luxe metals like gold and silver that sit closely next to oval-shaped lenses in a thin rim. On the runway, Tory Burch made the most compelling case for this trend in her uptown-meets-downtown autumn/winter 2025 presentation at New York Fashion Week. Across the Atlantic in Paris, Laura Harrier dressed down the trend with a pink Miu Miu satin miniskirt set.

2. "Sharon Tate" Shades

Style Notes: Do not adjust your screen. You’re not seeing unreleased costume pictures of Margot Robbie from the set of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but bearing witness to arguably the most influential sunglasses trend of 2025. I’ve dubbed this look "Sharon Tate Shades" in honour of the late actress's iconic big, rounded sunglasses, but I’ve already started noticing them on the likes of Sienna Miller after making a comeback on Chloé’s spring/summer 2025 runway. High-street brands have picked up on the trend too, with affordable iterations already available for purchase at H&M, Mango and Zara. Turns out, at least when it comes to sunglasses, bigger is better.

3. Cutting Shapes

Style Notes: Taking you back to primary school maths classes, fashion has found a sense of youthful playfulness with this sunglasses trend. Oversized, bug-eyed shapes are now formatted into unique shapes like oblong diamonds designed to cover the entire length of your face’s mid-section. The most popular style is the amethyst-lens sunglasses that debuted on Prada’s S/S 2025 runway. Styled with a scarf and drawing inspiration from the '60s, the effect was as if Jeff Goldblum in The Fly met Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

According to luxury fashion sourcer Gab Waller, it’s this exact Prada style that she’s had the most requests for. Well-versed in selling the likes of old Celine to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe to Hailey Bieber, Waller explains that the Prada scarf sunglasses have been "very popular in my DMs."

"Most recently, I sourced them for Lori Harvey to wear to Coachella, and since then, a number of requests have come through," she reveals. As for what makes this style so captivating? "It was just a unique take on the classics in a way that pushed the envelope for what we are used to seeing. That’s what really drove interest."

Shop the Trend:

4. Alley Cat

Style Notes: In Waller’s eyes, however, the top sunglassed trend for 2025 is yet to reveal itself. "When it comes to the sunglasses I predict will be big for summer, my mind immediately goes to Chanel," she explains. "Every season, guaranteed, Chanel will release a sunglasses style that will pop off. It has not happened yet, but give it time."

And, on the heels of my conversation with Waller, Chanel's Coco Beach and Cruise 2026 collections proved her predictions true. As displayed along the edge of Lake Como, the Maison showcased a range of more abstract cat-eye styles elongated at the outermost top corner. These softer frames are a more subtle take on the trend and are so complementary to oval, heart and diamond face shapes. Just look at Mikey Madison (pictured below) for proof.

5. Librarian Siren

Style Notes: After Miu Miu dropped the most covetable and disruptive pair of optical frames to ever hit stores in its autumn/winter 2023 collection, our appetite for oval-framed, tortoiseshell glasses was at an all-time high. Now, this librarian look is getting a little sleazier (in a good way). Rather than appearing too prim and collegiate like something lifted from the pages of Donna Tartt’s A Secret History, the "librarian siren" sunglasses trend is a little more vampy, like the faux reading glasses you might’ve worn to university in the 2010s. Think wayfarer shapes, light lenses and an aptitude for intellect.

6. Cloud Nine

Style Notes: Fans of the classics will be delighted to know that aviator frames aren’t going anywhere this year. Instead, they’ve been given a little upgrade with sleek curved edges to rival the curves lines of the aeroplanes this style is named after. From Saint Laurent to Christopher Esber and Tom Ford, choose a pair and wear them with a leather jacket and straight-leg jeans, and prepare for lift off.

Meet the Experts

It seems like everywhere I look, be that on the street, on my commute to work, or on the infinite scroll of Instagram, every stylish person I see is wearing a particular kind of teeny-tiny accessory. It’s not jewellery, nor a bag keychain, nor phone trinket. It’s something much more charming, subtle and chic. Blink and you’ll miss it, but I’m here to tell you that the small, oval eyewear trend is here to stay and has gained serious traction with the fashion-set in both optical and shaded variations.

As all major trends do, this one kicked off on the catwalk. Miu Miu, the so-called “little sister” brand to powerhouse Prada, debuted the eyewear style way back when in their AW23 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Arguably, so many major trends came from this show— buttoned-up cashmere cardigans, visible sheer stockings, polka dot dresses, Carhartt-style workwear jackets and chunky key lanyards aplenty. Without a doubt, the XXS glasses worn on the faces of many of the catwalk models, in black or light tortoiseshell, emerged as the most sought-after trend, going instantly viral and selling-out. Fast-forward to 2025, the style still reigns supreme, and style-conscious people the world over cannot get enough, myself included.

What’s key about this eyewear trend is that it is both versatile and practical. Oval-shaped frames today come in a variety of colours and finishes, and the lenses are being offered in blue-light protective, crystal clear, semi-hued and sun protective variants, meaning there is a style for everybody, satisfying lots of needs and preferences. They give the simplest of outfits a polished and elevated look, and even a nod to ‘90s and Y2K fashions. Think Gisele Bündchen in The Devil Wears Prada, Charlotte York in Sex and the City, and Lauren Hill in the year 2000—all women with serious style and a penchant for chic face framers.

If you're looking for your next pair of sunglasses, blue-light protectors, or everyday reading glasses, look no further. My meticulous editor's eye has curated the best in oval frames, which you can shop and wear today.

When it comes to shopping the sales, it can be easy to assume that these are end of season pieces that you'll have to wait months to add into your wardrobe. Sometimes this is the case, but often we find that brands will have sudden mid-season, or in this case start of season, sales that are full of excellent new in buys primed to be worn instantly. And that's exactly what's happening at H&M right now as H&M's member sale has launched.

Investing in premium pieces is never a bad idea, but the high-street also has great options for high-quality classic buys. One of my go-to stores for affordable stylish pieces is H&M, and if you love the brand as much as I do, you probably spend a lot of time looking at the new-in section for elevated basics and refined staples. I'm always browsing the site for premium-looking items that I can add to my wardrobe, so today, imagine my delight when I logged into my account to see there was an exclusive sale going on right now, offering members up to 15% off a selection of items, including plenty from the new-in range.

If you're not already an H&M member I'd strongly suggest becoming one. You can sign up here for free and receive a number of different perks, most notably exclusive sales of a wide selection of clothing, shoes and accessories. Luckily, this particular sale applies to their new-in range as well, meaning there are so many different items to choose from.

Whether I'm looking for light linens for the new season (H&M does some of the best affordable options around) or searching for sleek tailoring that I can wear to the office, H&M is my go-to high-street store all year round. Whenever a sale pops up, it can be easy to fall into the trap of buying trend-led pieces simply because the price is lower. However, I'd suggest focusing on more classic, expensive-looking staples that you can wear on repeat the rest of summer. What's more, some of the brand's new collection is also included in the 15% off sale.

To apply the discount, head to 'account & rewards' in the account section to find the 15% Members Day offer. Simply add your pieces to basket, and the discount will be automatically applied.

Picture the scene: you're getting ready on a bright, sunny, summer morning and there is nothing but blue skies and a balmy breeze in store. In this dream scenario, we're all likely to reach for the usual failsafe items—the tank top, a pair of linen trousers or a simple white cotton dress—but all that is required to take these sturdy staples to fashionable new heights are the right accessories; the shoes, the bags, the jewellery, and of course, the sunglasses.

Whether you're jetting off to a far-flung beach to bury your toes in the sand or spending summer in the city picnicking in the park, it's time to give our warm-weather wardrobes some dedicated thought. After six long months of layering up in knits and scarves with a "just in case" umbrella tucked under our arms, it's time to celebrate the joy of stripping off. And as our layers get lighter, our accessories hold more weight as the real stars of the show. The right accessories can transform even the simplest outfit from good to great, and when shopping for these pieces, designer brands are often our first port of call. Not only can you guarantee head-turning style, but you also know that premium quality will last a lifetime, making designer accessories one of the smartest investments you can make.

So, should you be in the midst of summer outfit planning and looking for some no-regret buys you'll keep forever, we've assembled a list of the summer accessories so iconic they'll stand the test of time. From the best-selling basket bag to the shoes so legendary they practically have a waiting list, keep scrolling to see the six best luxury summer accessories that get the fashion-editor stamp of approval. The forecast? Chic styles ahead.

If we were to credit any brand with singlehandedly bringing the basket bag up to date, the title deservedly goes to Loewe. Though raffia bags used to be relegated to the beach, only to be tucked away at the back of the wardrobe with our swimsuits as soon as we unpacked our suitcase, now you can expect to see baskets of all weaves and colours proudly carried around the city too, most likely bearing Loewe's embossed logo. Though the brand's heritage goes all the way back to 19th-century Spain, Jonathan Anderson's penchant for meticulously crafted accessories makes traditional artisanal methods feel strikingly modern. And, if the reissue of some of Loewe's best-selling styles like the Paseo, Pebble and Puzzle tote in new raffia versions (not to mention the return of the classic basket for a sixth season) tells us anything, it's that Loewe baskets are still in very hot demand. It's a must for those who have Jane Birkin on their summer mood board.

From Lady Gaga to Leonie Hanne, some of the fashion world's most prominent icons have all been photographed in one pair of sunglasses—Celine's Triomphe. These instantly recognisable sunnies are the epitome of "quiet luxury"—simple, sophisticated and understated, with only former creative director Hedi Slimane's Triomphe "C" logo to give away their status. From Slimane's introduction of Triomphe in 2018 to its latest incarnation across totes, tees and shoes, the unmistakable crest is a nod to the Arc de Triomphe; a symbol of pride in Celine's heritage and legacy. Statement sunnies may shout for attention, but these whisper wealth. Take it from us: You'll never regret a pair of all-black shades with the power to make even the most simple outfit feel A-list. By cost per wear alone, these are simply worth their weight in gold.

Scroll through the feeds of the best dressed this summer and you'll notice many of the same items appear again and again. A chic one-piece swimsuit (often Eres), Toteme separates, perhaps some Loro Piana linen, but one accessory you're guaranteed to find across the board is a pair of Hermès sandals. Granted, Hermès scarves are equally coveted—and come to think of it, so too is the luggage—but for fashion insiders in the know, a pair of Chypre sandals is a particularly wise investment. You can wear these, the younger sister of the brand's 1997 Oran sandals, with everything from light midi dresses to jeans and a loose button-down. This thick-soled flat shoe is all that's required to add a little polish without compromising on comfort.

No enviable holiday abroad would be complete without Dior's Naughtily-D hat to take shade in style. In the words of Christian Dior himself, "Without hats, there is no civilisation," and if this wide-brimmed straw hat finished with a monogrammed ribbon doesn't indicate savoir-faire, no other hat can come close. Across the decades of the brand's history, many creative directors have left their mark, but each has worked closely with milliners to continue Dior's couture legacy, and this fringed boater is a luxury trip around the Dioriveria without even having to pack your passport. Whether you take notes from Natalie Portman's bohemian styling and pair it with a floral dress or Uma Thurman's laid-back linen suit for a day in Cannes, it's easy to see why Dior considered hats essential to a polished silhouette.

When it comes to classic, handcrafted espadrilles, the educated choice is always Castañer. It's understandable then that the Castañer family has been designing and making the iconic shoe in-house for nearly 100 years and are the brains behind the now famed wedge, which was designed in conjunction with the Yves Saint Laurent back in 1970. If these shoes sound familiar, it might be because they have the royal stamp of approval, having been photographed on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and Queen Letizia of Spain, but you'll also spot A-listers like Margot Robbie and Emily Ratajkowski wearing their Castañers as soon as the weather warms up. From beaches in Bali to dancing in Dubrovnik, you're likely to find a pair of these espadrilles in the suitcases of the very best dressed, and though there may be many imitators, there is only one Castañer Carina—the pretty ankle-tied wedge you're likely to see everywhere this summer and for many more to come.

As quickly as ready-to-wear trends come and go, so too do jewellery aesthetics. One minute we're stacking Dynasty-inspired gold costume jewellery, the next we're looking for pretty pearls and coquette bows, but one piece of jewellery that has stood the test of time is the elegant tennis necklace. Although its roots began on the court thanks to player Chris Evert, we far prefer precious diamonds as the finishing touch on an equally special outfit. Enter Monica Vinader's Essential Tennis Necklace. Granted, 18k gold vermeil and diamonds don't come cheap, but this is the kind of piece you'll wear for a lifetime. Vinader's even comes with a "product passport," allowing consumers to trace their necklace across the brand's supply chain for full transparency (no wonder it can boast winning the 2022 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development). Dress up tank tops and linen, airy maxi dresses or crisp shirts with this delicate necklace that will invite compliments. As far as timeless jewellery goes, this piece wins—game, set and match. Not to mention we can back any piece of jewellery that looks good and does good too.

For those of us living in the UK—or anywhere prone to cloudy skies—sunglasses mark something very special: the appearance of sun! There's a tangible joy in leaving the house with oversized sunnies on, a basket bag in hand and a pep in your step knowing brighter days have finally arrived.

We've just about reached this point in the year (ignoring the occasional shower and gale-force wind), and sunglasses have once again become a fixture of our handbags. Naturally, a few of us will pull out last year's pair only to be met with scratches and a crooked frame, at which point we'll search the internet for an intact replacement.

If that's you, I'm here to clue you in on the SS24's biggest sunglasses trends so you can start your search on the right note. Generally, designers this season are taking cues from archival silhouettes and retro classics, presenting shades which could have been passed down from a stylish grandparent. In the mix, there's also a smattering of statement designs with coloured frames and chunky gold accents. Take a look below at the key contenders for the most-worn sunglasses of 2024.

See the Sunglasses Trends On Our Radar For Summer 2024:

1. Cat-Eye Silhouettes

Style Notes: After techwear took over 2023's sunglasses trends, the fashion world has made a confident return to classic alternatives for 2024—and it doesn't get more classic than a cat-eye frame.

Shop the trend:

2. Tortoiseshell Sunnies

Style Notes: While tortoiseshell consistently wafts in and out of the trend spotlight, it's never considered ‘outdated’. If you're looking to invest in a new pair that will stand the test of time, this is a smart choice.

Shop the trend:

3. Coloured Shades

Style Notes: The trend around colourful frames and tinted lenses emerged last year, but it's set to be just as prevalent in 2024. Red will no doubt be a frontrunner, tapping into wider colour trends this spring/summer.

Shop the trend:

4. Wired Frames

Style Notes: A daintier option than acetate sunnies, wire and metal-framed glasses are perfect for the magpies among us. Match your shades to your jewellery tone or mix up your silvers and golds.

5. Retro-Style Aviators

Style Notes: While wire-framed aviator sunglasses are as popular as ever, we're seeing more chunky acetate iterations popping up from the likes of Isabel Marant and Saint Laurent. This oversized silhouette is ideal for low-energy days when you want to hide behind accessories.

Shop the trend:

6. Rectangular Frames

Style Notes: As summer beckons, narrow sunnies with sharp angles are filling up our feeds, calling to mind noughties shapes but delivered with a fresh, directional feel.

7. Celine's Triomphe Sunglasses

Style Notes: Ok, so less of a style and more of a product, but Celine's oval sunglasses will continue to dominate in 2024 and beyond. From the perfect frame shape that basically suits everyone to the array of colours, they're an investment I'm certainly up for making this summer.

When you're a fashion editor, people always assume that your outfits and wardrobe are dripping in designer pieces, but this isn't always the case. At least, it isn't for me! As someone who crafted their sense of style on the high street, I have always had a soft spot for more affordable brands and have become a bit of a pro at finding the most expensive, hard-working basics from them (if I do say so myself). Then, of course, there are designer buys I've long dreamt of owning but real life (i.e. fixing a leak in my roof, repairing my car and generally paying my bills) tends to get in the way.

Over the past five or so years, I've found contentment somewhere in the middle—brands that I wouldn't necessarily say are cheap to shop at but don't come with the lofty price tags of the big luxury fashion houses. However, this year I decided to treat myself to something I've never owned before: a pair of designer logo sunglasses. While logos on bags can look polished, there's a fine line between them looking classy and ostentatious. Logo sunglasses, however, feel less showy and, for lack of a better term, very cool indeed. Even at the heights of the quiet luxury aesthetic, people still wore sunglasses with recognisable logos on the arms which, naturally, gave their luxury looks clout. With many pairs coming in at the £300–£500 mark, they're still a considerable investment, though significantly cheaper than a bag from the same brand would be. As such, sunglasses make for a smart, entry-level way to add a designer to your accessory line-up.

Me? I opted for a pair of rectangular-framed, tortoiseshell-finish sunglasses from Celine complete with the brand's iconic Triomphe adornment to the side. After weeks of deliberation, I finally purchased them in February with some gifted money I'd been holding on to and, since I started wearing them more this summer, I've noticed I've been receiving lots of compliments on my outfits. Coincidence? There's no such thing.

Choose wisely and the cost-per-wear of your designer logo sunglasses can quickly become pennies—I've worn mine every day for the past two months and the novelty hasn't worn off. In fact, it's made me think about adding another pair to my collection (albeit currently of one) for the summer. Not one to make such a statement lightly, I've spent hours thinking about which pair this could be. Below are the styles I'm contemplating.

Whilst 2023 has seen the rise of quiet luxury with a definite move away from maximalism, there’s one specific outfit element that absolutely won’t be going anywhere despite the change in trends, and that’s accessories.

Like us, you might know that all too familiar feeling when you put on an outfit but it’s just not quite giving what you wanted it to give. The answer? It lies in the most simple of formulas. Whilst a chic linen dress or white button-down might form the foundation of a great look, it is the strategic use of accessories that sets an outfit apart and elevates it to new style heights. 

Be it a statement handbag, a cute brooch or a silk scarf, the key to that put-together look you've been dreaming about lies in the extra little details. And to help you decide what accessories are really worth adding to your collection this season, I've put together a curated list of the very best (and pretty affordable!) trends for summer 2023.

Scroll on for the expensive-looking accessory trends you'll be reaching for this summer season and beyond.

1. The Mini Bag

Style Notes: No, we're not talking about the 2016 version of the mini bag. Remember the one that was too small to put your phone in? That's still firmly on pause. The 2023 take on the mini bag is large enough for your essential items, but small enough to add a discrete pop of colour to your outfit. 

Shop the trend:

2. Statement Pendants

Style Notes: These amazing statement pendents are all we need in our life. I'll be pairing mine with a simple button-down linen shirt, some long-length denim shorts and a cream blazer to add a bit of oomph to a simple look.

3. Candy-Coloured Frames

Style Notes: You heard it here first, matching your sunnies to your handbag is the ultimate win. Bonus points if you can stay in the same tonal range for your jewellery too like Audrey.

4. Fun Hair Accessories

Style Notes: Bad hair day? Opt for a cap. Want to elevate a basic look? Cap. Hiding from paps? Cap. You can't go wrong! But fashion people are also loving mega scrunchies and claw clips too.

5. A Silver Moment

Style Notes: Silvery jewellery is back after being spotted on celebs like Kendall Jenner and Rosie HW. Pair your piece of choice with a super simple black dress and some thong sandals for a polished summer look.

6. Raffia

Style Notes: Accessorising a summer outfit with a raffia piece is a total win in my eyes. By mixing and matching textures, you can totally elevate an outfit and I've been styling my raffia pieces with creamy silk shirts & linen pieces for a chic warm-weather 'fit.

Shop the trend:

7. Dark Lens Shades

Style Notes: There's a reason that dark shaded sunnies never really go out of fashion. We absolutely love a monochrome look as it is and adding a pair of dark sunglasses just really helps to pull the whole outfit together.

I know that I'm not alone when I say that I truly relished putting away my winter boots and wearing sandals for the first time this year. There's a lot to love about a crisp, fresh autumn, and winter was an excuse for cosy hibernation, but I've been counting down to summer since the last one ended. Now that it's finally here, I couldn't be happier. Summer is, after all, my favourite time of the year to get dressed. The layers are lighter and less complicated, the colours are brighter, and the prints are more exciting. With a busy few months of weddings, travel, parties and occasions, there are more reasons to get dressed up and go out than the rest of the year, but what does summer 2024 look like? Well, I've got the definitive answer.

At Who What Wear we're experts in spotting trends well in advance, and we can see the next big aesthetic before it even becomes a thing. With our group chats, Notes apps, Saved folders and Pinterest boards full of colours, styles, outfit ideas and references, we've known for a while that this summer is shaping up to be a stylish one, and we've noticed the early stages of some very promising trends.

Putting this skill to good use, I've been keeping an eye out for the pieces that fashion people have been wearing on repeat in the run-up to summer and, equally, the ones they aren't. Before you hastily scroll down ready to throw away anything that doesn't make the cut, I implore you to think twice. Fashion is entirely subjective and cyclical after all, and here at Who What Wear UK, we don't really subscribe to the notion of something being "in" or "out". If you like it, wear it! And wear it with pride.

This list, however, is intended to focus on the timeless trends worth investing in now and for years to come, so rest assured you won't find any flash-in-the-pan looks happening here. (That means you, mermaidcore.)

In the edit, expect to find wardrobe staples, trending colour palettes and plenty of accessories to inspire your summer wardrobe from your favourite high-street and high-end brands. Keep scrolling for the seven outdated summer trends to shelve now and the seven most definitely worth saving in 2024.

PAUSING ON: FESTIVALCORE

OPTING FOR: SUMMER MINIMALISM 

Style Notes: Controversial as it may be to say, summer doesn't have to be shorthand for "festival season". Feathers, tie-dye, glitter and fringing are always fun to experiment with, but if you're looking for outfits that will stand the test of time (and last longer than a three-day festival), you're better off investing in versatile pieces that you can wear on rotation. Enter luxe minimalism. Simple shirts, shorts, dresses and skirts in fresh whites, black and neutrals are timeless, and you can wear them into the next season too. Oxford shirts can be worn now with shorts and later with jeans, and dresses can be paired with flats for summer and boots for autumn, but you can't guarantee the same amount of wear out of a sequin crop top.

Shop summer minimalism:

PAUSING ON: MICRO CUT-OFFS

OPTING FOR: LONGLINE DENIM SHORTS 

Style Notes: The runways have spoken, and this year is all about longline denim. Big, baggy jeans defined the cooler months while denim maxi skirts and long shorts have taken their place for summer. In 2024, though, it's less about your traditional micro cut-offs and more about their smarter sibling—knee-length denim shorts—which are undoubtedly the winning style for the bare-legged season.

Shop denim shorts:

PAUSING ON: DENTAL-FLOSS BIKINIS 

OPTING FOR: SOPHISTICATED SWIMSUITS

Style Notes: Remember Kendall Jenner's snow bikini? Of course you do, but not necessarily for the right reasons. If swimwear should be anything, it's practical, and although we love bikinis of all shapes and sizes, we don't want to spend our summer uncomfortably chafing. Thanks to cult favourite Hunza G, several celebrity sightings and a certain Baywatch revival, the one-piece is back and chicer than ever, and it doubles as a bodysuit when worn with trousers. What's not to love?

Shop swimsuits:

PAUSING ON: PLEATED MIDI SKIRTS

OPTING FOR: MAXI SKIRTS 

Style Notes: In the interest of continuing the wearability focus, I bring you the maxi skirt. As previously mentioned, long denim skirts are everywhere right now, but as soon as the weather heats up, you might want to swap them for something a little lighter. Jersey, satin, cotton, linen and crochet skirts are perfect for a summer spent sweeping around the city or propping up a beach bar, and are taking the place of the pleated midi styles that dominated our wardrobes a few years back.

Shop maxi skirts:

PAUSING ON: SPAGHETTI STRAPS

OPTING FOR: RACERBACK TANKS

Style Notes: Okay, this piece doesn't have tan lines in mind, but the humble tank top is one of the biggest breakout trends of the last year, and it shows no signs of slowing down in 2024. Perhaps it's the tank top's versatility. After all, it will go with quite literally anything in your wardrobe. Maybe it's the cost per wear, as you'll never have to shell out three figures for premium quality. Or maybe it's just the downright good looks of it. Only a plain tee or oversized shirt can match the laid-back charm of a white tank and tailored trousers. Either way, if you buy anything this year, a tank top is a wise investment. I'm stocking up on one in every colour…

Shop tank tops:

PAUSING ON: RUBBER FLIP-FLOPS

OPTING FOR: LEATHER SANDALS

Style Notes: Three cheers for sandal season! It's been a long wait to bare some skin, and now that the sun is shining, it's time to book a pedi as we're looking for sandals that let our feet breathe. Before you opt out of flip-flops altogether, the classic sandals will be a forever favourite, but given their longevity, it makes sense to invest in a pair of leather sandals that will go the distance rather than a quick holiday buy. If The Row has taught us anything, it's that thong sandals are even better in luxe leather, but the same also applies to wedges, mules, sliders, etc.

PAUSING ON: SUNGLASSES TRENDS

OPTING FOR: CLASSIC FRAMES

Style Notes: Sunglasses are one of the few accessories that have changed drastically over the last year, with more and more trending styles coming to the fore in 2024. Skinny shades à la Bella Hadid and Beyoncé? Still high on the agenda (just ask Blue Ivy). Rectangular lenses in an array of shades? Check and check. Vintage square and cat-eye styles? Arguably more popular than ever. And while I love a statement pair of sunnies to really make a look, I'm opting for simple, classic frames this year that I know will go with everything in my wardrobe.

This story was published at an earlier time and has since been updated.

If you asked me what the most underrated fashion item is, I'd have to say accessories. As style devotees, we at Who What Wear spend a lot of time discussing outfit formulas, finessing layering and ideating over shoe options, but truth be told, the power of a great look is held in the smaller details. Many of our daily uniforms skew minimalist, but occasionally, they can be so effectively pared down that they feel, well, too simple. The answer? Accessories, more specifically sunglasses. When an outfit needs a little extra something, sunglasses bring the injection of personality. And few sunglasses have as much personality as Vivienne Westwood's new collection.

No matter our reason for wearing them (sunshine, long nights, or simply for the look), sunglasses are every editor's secret weapon to looking put-together. Though the last few years were defined by ultra-slim styles, oversized silhouettes are now particularly favoured by fashion people. As always, Vivienne Westwood is already ahead of the game.

For summer 2023, Vivienne Westwood is looking back to the iconic silhouettes of the '50s and '60s. The new unisex collection explores the glamour and opulence of those decades with oversized shapes and light lenses that embody retro styling. Alongside these directional styles sit more classic styles with rounded lenses, cat-eye shapes and hexagonal nods, but all with a Westwood flair in the small details of the arms or the instantly recognisable Vivienne Westwood orb. A defining feature of the brand has always been focus on the environment, and this is shown through the collection. You'll find frames and temple tips created through the use of innovative material, 'Acetate Renew', which is made from 60% bio-based material and 40% certified recycled content. 

To summarise, the collection is an accumulation of standout styles befitting of all aesthetics. But don't just take my word for it. Keep scrolling to explore Vivienne Westwood's Sun Collection.

THE ATLANTA

I was immediately drawn to the retro structure of the Atlanta glasses. Offered up in light tortoiseshell, dark brown and sleek black, these are sure to be a statement with the signature orb subtly set in the centre of the frames.

THE CARIA

If you're more of a classicist, the Caria is a solid option. The curved edges add a softness for those looking for an understated pair of sunglasses. Plus, these feature the new logo plaque that's inspired by Georgian jewellery lockets.

THE YARA

The Yara lenses are shaped like hearts around the eye, creating almost a visor-shaped frame. The lightweight frame is perfectly balanced with the slim arms, which adds to this pair's delicate impression. I predict these will be everywhere as we enter festival season.

THE JOANNE

As if plucked from the finest vintage store, the Joanne embodies retro eyewear in all its glory. From the bold, circular-shaped frames to the tortoiseshell finish, this impactful pair is the kind people spend years searching for.

THE ROCOCCO

True to the brand, the Rococco embraces classic style with a Westwood edge. The soft, wired edges of the hexagonal lenses are harmonised with the addition of intricate attachments and temple details.

THE ZEPHYR

The Zephyr Sunglasses are understated with a twist. The gradient lens adds a directional touch to the classic silhouette, and the thick frames are particularly striking. They're also made from 100% bio-based acetate!

THE ADA

The Georgian influence is again evident in the delicate spheres placed symmetrically on the temples as a defining feature of the Ada. I can see these as the pretty finishing touch to a sunny wedding-guest or poolside look.

THE BRIDGITTE

When we think of vintage sunglasses, cat-eye styles definitely come to mind. The exaggerated edges play into the cat-eye silhouette. These come in three colourways, so there's a version for everyone.

THE GEORGIA

At first glance, this pair embodies all the vintage styling that I've been looking for. The thick frame and oversized shape are instantly impactful, but look a little closer and you'll find intricate detailing on the frames with etching details leading all the way down the arms.

THE CELENTANO

Simple, sleek and seriously cool, this rounded pair takes classic vintage head on. The refined frames are combined with the architectural nose bridge to create an endlessly chic pair you'll wear forever more.

Up next, our Summer Issue featuring India Amarteifio has arrived.

There are two types of people: Those who wear sunglasses year-round, and those who reserve them for spring and summer. Though there are arguments for the former (not least to protect your eyes from the winter sun), I've always belonged to the latter camp. It might sound silly, but I always enjoy the first outing of my favourite shades—it's my small way of marking the beginning of sunshine season.

As we're now well into summer, it feels appropriate to talk about the sunglasses I want to wear as I sip mojitos and catch rays on the beach. I definitely lean more toward classic designs, such as tortoiseshell cat-eye frames or black aviators, but I do get a kick out of perusing the glasses stand at my local John Lewis and trying out new trending shapes in front of the mirror. And occasionally, if a pair flatters my face shape and feels like a fresh addition, I might just branch out of my comfort zone and add it to my collection.

2023 is a year rich in stand-out sunglasses trends, and we've rounded up the most note-worthy so you can decide which is for you. Scroll on to see the top 5 sunglasses trends for 2023 and shop the best of the bunch.

1. '70s Aviators

Style Notes: We've all got the '70s bug after watching Daisy Jones & The Six, but retro aviators were already set for a resurgence before the show's release. We're specifically seeing styles featuring metal rims doing the rounds on Instagram.

2. White Frames

Style Notes: Subtlety certainly isn't a word we'd use to describe 2023's sunglasses trends, and this next one is no exception. Fashion people are rocking thick white frames this season, often in oval shapes, making them a prominent feature of their outfits rather than a practical afterthought.

3. Supersized Sunnies

Style Notes: Thanks to designers like Loewe and Celine, extra-large sunnies are in the spotlight once more. When you're recovering from a holiday hangover or are running errands makeup-less, you'll be grateful for this trend.

4. Narrow Frames

Style Notes: In a nod to the noughties, labels from Saint Laurent to Gucci are embracing ultra-narrow acetate and thin-wire frames. Try styling yours with a halterneck and low-slung trousers for a full Y2K look.

5. Rose-Tinted Lenses

Style Notes: Tinted lenses in general are a trend, but rosy hues are definitely dominating. From soft pink-tinged styles to full-on Barbie designs, there's no end of cheerful sunglasses to choose from.

Next Up: All Expensive-Looking Swimwear Has This One Thing in Common

If there's one thing I own a lot of, it's basic tops. Whether it's white tees or black tank tops, they're the backbone of most of my outfits, as I pair them with practically everything from midi skirts to high-waisted jeans and relaxed trousers. But what really takes my basic tops to another level are the accessories I wear with them, like chic belts and pearl chains.

The right accessories can make the simplest basics look 10 times more elevated and expensive. The best part is that these items don't need to cost a fortune, especially if you know the right places to look. A bonus tip is that these timeless accessories can also help you easily transition your favourite staples from the office to the weekend and vice versa. Below, I want to share some of my favourite pieces that will make your basic tops look pricey and chic and that are altogether on-trend.

Modern Pearls

Pearls always have the ability to make any outfit look more luxurious, and this season, I'm seeing a cool and modern take on pearls in unique shapes or mixed with chains and other materials. Whether you go for earrings, necklaces, or bracelets, pearls will make any basic top look more expensive.

Shop Modern Pearls:

Curved Carryalls

There's nothing like a chic bag under your shoulder to make your basic tops look more stylish. Opt for this season's slouchy and soft curved carryalls featuring elevated details like ruching, knot details, and sleek stitching.

Chic Belts

Whether wide or skinny, chic belts always make an outfit feel more pulled-together and polished. Tuck your basic top into your high-waisted jeans and cinch your waist with a belt for an easy and elevated look.

Shop Chic Belts:

Rectangular Sunglasses

To be honest, any type of sunglasses will undoubtedly make any outfit look more expensive, but it's the rectangle silhouettes that feel fresh right now and really provide that wow factor.

Silk Scarves

A chic printed scarf worn around your hair exudes a certain vintage look à la Audrey Hepburn that feels super fresh right now and will make any outfit look more sophisticated. Moreover, you can always tie the scarf around your neck for a French-girl vibe.

Next, The Boot Trends That Are Going to Be Big in 2023, According to Zara

Is there any outfit dilemma that a pair of sunglasses can't fix? For every time I've found myself standing perplexed in front of the wardrobe, there has been a pair of sunnies to fix it. Tired and in a rush? A white tee, jeans and everyday black specs. Heading out on holiday? A swimsuit, shorts and a playfully coloured pair. Dressing up for a formal event? Well, I'm summer-wedding ready in a floaty maxi and oversized sunglasses. Even at a photo shoot, you'll find me in a confidence-boosting pair of sunglasses. (In fact, I bought three pairs of my current favourite Le Specs Rapture glasses before they sold out.) Sunglasses really are the finishing touch to any outfit as soon as the weather heats up, and who better to ask about the styles to know now than Hamish Tame, creative director of Le Specs?

"This summer, there is an exciting Y2K revival and love of noughties sunglasses, particularly with rimless shapes and tinted lenses," says Hamish. "We have seen the noughties trend evolve from '90s looks, like the slimline oval and rectangular trend from the past few seasons, but the retro silhouette continues to be one of our most in-demand Le Specs styles and has been spotted on the likes of Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian and Bella Hadid."

So when we're shopping for sunglasses, what do we need to look for? Do we stick to a guide to which styles will suit our face shape? Do we look for the most expensive pair that will (hopefully) last a lifetime? Or do we stick to one simple but timeless pair to wear for the next 10 years? Don't overthink it, says Tame. It's all about how they make you feel. "When shopping for sunglasses, look for a comfortable pair that makes you feel fabulous! I am so proud that Le Specs are affordable, meaning that you can have a few pairs on rotation to mix up your vibe and wardrobe."

With vibe in mind, we've scoured the social feeds of some of our favourite celebs, influencers and fashion editors to bring you a list of the sunglasses styles that are trending now and guaranteed to make you feel your best. 

1. SUNSET-TINTED LENSES

As Gucci's revival of the aviator proved, yellow-lens sunnies were a best-selling success waiting to happen. For 2022, seek shades in deeper yellows, oranges and sunset reds to echo the colours of dusk in our favourite, sun-drenched season.

2. SCI–FI SHIELD SUNNIES

Houston, we have a new sunglasses obsession. This angular, oversized style is an intergalactic trip into The Light Fantastic—a sport-fashion hybrid that combines wrap-around protection with eye-catching style.

3. GENERATION Y2K 

When it comes to channelling the current Y2K aesthetic, there are plenty of sunglasses-wearing icons to take inspiration from: Legally Blonde's Elle Woods, Anastasia, Paris Hilton, Britney (and Justin). Aim for candy colours, translucent or no frames, and any diamanté details to score extra points. Just add a Juicy Couture tracksuit. 

4. VINTAGE GLAMOUR

Cat-eye, oversized, or slimline '90s oval shades with ombré lenses, pearl detailing and plenty of gold accents, the antidotes to the Y2K party pairs are the refined, vintage glasses. Think Sophia Loren in the '70s or Versace supermodels in the '90s. These are tastefully opulent styles with exquisite attention to detail. 

5. WHITE CAT-EYE 

You can count on the cat-eye to crop up every summer. It's a universally flattering shape, especially in a neutral shade like white, that will go with anything in your wardrobe, making it a great choice for an investment buy. It might be a tried-and-tested classic that you've seen before, but its wide appeal makes this one of the best options on the market.

It's rare that a single accessory can remain a trending piece for many years but if any brand can do it, it's of course Celine. Once again Celine has given us an accessory that has been trending for a couple of years now and it's made it's yearly resurgence just in time for summer—the Triomphe oval sunglasses. The style in question is very classic in lots of ways, featuring an oval shape and hard-wearing acetate finish. You wouldn't necessarily notice it in a crowd in the same way you would a logo-laden handbag, but that's what we love about it.

Available in black, white and tortoiseshell, they've caught the attention of the fashion set, who have been seen wearing them with everything from casual sweaters and tailored coats to statement-making clashing prints. If that isn't evidence of versatility, then we don't know what is. Plus, while they can't exactly be described as affordable, if you have always wanted to get a slice of the Celine action, then sunglasses are a great way to do this. This is one investment you won't regret making this year.

Unless you've been living in a cave with no internet for the past week, you're probably aware that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are in Italy to celebrate her 52nd birthday. They're really making the rounds in the country (as one does when they have a yacht), and one of their latest stops was Capri.

While out sightseeing, accompanied by paparazzi and a very large crowd of eager fans, Bennifer put their 2.0 couple style on display. They both dressed casually—Affleck in a T-shirt and khaki pants and Lopez in a white shorts set and glamorous straw hat—with one matching item we couldn't help but notice: aviator sunglasses.

Both Lopez and Affleck have been wearing aviator sunglasses for years, so it's probably just a coincidence, but either way, it's cute, and we look forward to many more matching couples moments from these two. Scroll on to shop J-Lo's look and then some cool aviators, because why not?

Next up, the biggest autumn/winter 2021 fashion trends to know. 

This piece originally appeared on Who What Wear U.S. 

Ever since 2021 began, we've been hitting refresh and embracing the energy the start of a new year brings—especially in fashion. Now is the time to dissect the latest trends of 2021 and mark which are for you versus which you can do without. Today’s trend focus is eyewear. Eyewear is perhaps the most personal accessory, as it is not always one-size-fits-all, and by now, you’ve probably found which styles suit your face shape. If so, then 2021 eyewear trends were made for you. This season, designers gave all of the beloved, timeless eyewear silhouettes the update we never knew they needed.

Historically, fashion reflects the state of society, and this year proves to be no different. Eyewear trends are focusing on the balance of novelty, statement-making frames, and timeless designs. Consumers are leaning into mindful shopping, purchasing styles that are easy, versatile, and have subtle style details. Think a classic cat-eye shape but with a modern update like a narrower, more angular shape or the notorious aviator with a reflective or coloured tint. The runways still embraced the ode to the ’70s with retro-inspired silhouettes like Miu Miu’s round, bright-coloured frames and Bottega Veneta’s angular aviators. 

From mood-boosting colours and XXL oversized frames to subtle retro references, we’re revealing the eyewear shapes that will be everywhere this season—and better yet, the ones you can shop now.

Le Sport

This summer, we saw a massive trend in sportswear, particularly tennis-inspired outfits. Continue this trend into 2021 by opting for a sportier frame with a sleek, performance aesthetic.

Retro Round

The nostalgia feeling of retro frames is not going anywhere this season. Update your round frames with novelty design elements like crystal embellishments or bright-coloured lenses.

Mood-Boosting Rectangles

The rectangle shape has been having a moment this year and practically took over our Instagram feeds. In 2021, elevate your rectangle sunglasses with bright-coloured, acetate frames. From smoky red to olive green, these colours are instantly uplifting. 

The Angular Cat-Eye

The cat-eye is undoubtedly a forever shape when it comes to eyewear. This season, the cat-eye got a modern update with narrower lenses to create a more dynamic, angular look. 

XXL 

Another ode to the ’70s, XXL square lenses are continuing to make a statement this season. Enhance the look by investing in styles with luxurious neutral tones, like rich browns and blacks, for an elevated feel. 

Tinted Aviators

Another classic shape, aviators will simply never go out of style. Tired of the classic silhouette you’ve had since 2010? We have the perfect update for you: subtly coloured lenses. 

Blue-Light Awareness

Now that our world has become increasingly more virtual, blue-light glasses are a must. They're designed to protect the eyes from the harmful blue light found in all of our devices. Bonus: There are actually some super-chic pairs.

Next up, the biggest spring/summer 2021 fashion trends to know.

It never fails to amaze us just how sunglasses completely overhaul your entire look—how something so small could make such an impact. But such is the power of a well-chosen pair of shades. Chances are you already have a set that you heavily rely on (I have been wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarers since my teens), but there are countless sunglasses shapes and styles to consider if you’re looking for a swift and chic summer refresh.

Below you’ll find an edit of the best sunglasses for women that never go out of style, as well as some key pairs that tap into fashion’s current aesthetic. We’re talking everything from classic shapes such as ’70s oversize and cat-eye to the divisive flat-top and ultra-bright-coloured frames. With pairs from Prada and Celine, Mango and Monki, you’re sure to find a new set of shades to suit you, no matter your taste, face shape, or budget. So keep scrolling to see and shop the best sunglasses for women right now.

1. OVERSIZE

Although statement, oversize, '70s-inspired sunglasses have become a timeless shade style that suits just about every face shape. A general rule to follow when it comes to selecting your oversize shades is to try them on and then smile widely. If it causes the sunglasses to touch your cheeks and lift off the bridge of your nose, they aren't the correct fit for you. 

2. ANGULAR

A close cousin of the '50s cat-eye (more on those later), angular, sharp-edged sunglasses are having a moment and work particularly well to balance out narrower faces. 

3. COLOURFUL

While black and tortoiseshell sunglasses will always serve you well, consider adding a bright pair to your accessory repertoire, and use it to pep up simple outfits.

4. RECTANGULAR

For the minimalists among us, the trend for simple, most likely black, rectangular shades continues. While you'll find plenty of designer pairs, you'll find lots of affordable options, too, meaning everyone can get in on this look.

5. FRAMELESS

Pay homage to the '90s and early aughts with a pair of frameless sunglasses. This is a look that was made for anyone who ever dreamed of being Britney Spears, Paris Hilton or Janet Jackson. 

6. FLAT-TOP

Akin to classic aviator sunglasses, flat-tops feature just that—a flat top, which creates a shield-like silhouette across the eyes. This will never be the most versatile sunglasses shape you could invest in, but it's certainly one of the most iconic.

7. CAT-EYE

Bridging the gap between statement sunnies and more slender shapes, the cat-eye makes for the ideal sunglasses option for classicists and those with a penchant for glamorous clothing. 

8. SQUARE

Square sunglasses will always be a style mainstay and look good on just about everyone. That said, they do loan themselves especially well to those with round or heart-shaped faces, and the angles and straight lines provide a contrast to their delicate features. 

9. ROUND

You might not think it, but round sunglasses are one of the older shapes of sunglasses, having been around for over 100 years. Although thin frames peak in popularity from time to time, right now we're seeing pairs with thicker frames more regularly. 

Next Up: These Gucci Frames Are Officially the Coolest Sunglasses of 2021

The return of the sun this week has prompted a wardrobe switchover for many, with puffer coats and bulky knitwear retired for another year and the dusting off of our summer pieces. Nothing says summer like a pair of sunglasses, and there is one silhouette that is proving particularly popular of late—square and rectangular frames. Gucci has become a moniker for maximalist styling, so it is not surprising that this is the brand leading this trend.

The house's rectangular- and square-frame sunglasses with an interlocking double-G logo on each arm are rapidly becoming a mainstay on my Instagram feed, and they are so popular that I think they are officially the sunglasses of 2021. For a more classic take, follow Lizzo's lead and opt for the black pair with quilted leather arms. If you want something a little punchier, however, I love the white version, which is £255, and the oversize mint-green pair. Actress Jodie Turner-Smith wore these in a recent feature with MatchesFashion and said she loves dialling up her outfits with colour and her Gucci sunglasses, in particular, "which [she] never [leaves] home without." Keep scrolling to see—and shop—the sunglasses of 2021.

In the pursuit of making your outfits look cooler, there's something you really ought to know. You don't have to invest in a haul of new clothes to make them so. In fact, the secret to adding instant polish, attitude and elevation to your ensembles lies with one key accessory: sunglasses.

We consider sunglasses to be a year-round staple—something we always reach for in our handbags regardless of the season. But now, as we find ourselves at the peak of summer, chances are you've bumped upgrading your shades up a couple of spots on your to-do list. While you can quite easily pick up a new pair as you browse online (the high street has plenty of low-cost, on-trend options to choose from), some sunglasses brands are in a league of their own. We hope you're ready because we're about to introduce you to our pick of those brands.

Small but mighty, we think sunglasses are worth spending a little extra on, specifically if you want a quality pair that'll never date. Over the years, more and more high-end fashion houses such as Celine, Loewe and Gucci have created eyewear collections that are just as impressive as their clothing lines and that share quite lofty price tags. Similarly, The Row has teamed up with eyewear label Oliver Peoples to create its own capsule of covetable styles that we just know we'll love and cherish for a lifetime. 

Still, if your budget is looking a little lean, rest assured, as some more affordable options have also made our list, including under-the-radar brands your friends are less likely to know about, giving you the edge.

So if you want to make everything you wear look tenfold more expensive, scroll below to see our edit of the best sunglasses brands. All that's left for you to do is to start planning your chic summer outfits around them. 

1. CELINE

With clean lines and a range of both metal and acetate silhouettes, Celine's eyewear edit is the perfect minimalist match to its clothing and accessories. Most fashion editors own oversized pairs, but this season, we also enjoy the creamy cat eyes and the '70s gradient lenses.
