YOUR NEW FAVORITE SUNGLASSES
We hear that you have been asking the big question: where in the world do people get their ultra-chic shades? Rest assured that we have got you covered. Scroll through to check out the frames that are trending for Spring 2023, and feel free to grab some inspiration from the trailblazers of the East and West Coast.
Butterfly Frames
As a member of the round-faced committee, these oversized shades are truly a god-send. The subtle tipped outer corners (resembling that of a butterfly wing), along with the elongated rims make for a flattering sun-protectant by balancing the width of the lower half of the face. Fashion may be cyclical, but we are in no rush to divorce ourselves from the year 2000, and nothing speaks to the y2k aesthetic quite like a Bratz-themed frame. For a more mature look, however, seek out sunglasses that leave the temples bare. Bedazzling has its positives, but for a classic ensemble, lose the crystal accents, and let the lenses do the talking.
Alien Eyes
Make no mistake, these sunglasses will swallow you up, but you will love every minute of it. If the extraterrestrial wave that swept the fashion industry this past season has told us anything, it was that nothing—and I mean nothing—is too radical for the runway, and to that end, the streets of our most beloved cities. Utilizing the current obsession for extreme sizes in our wardrobes, fashion houses have dived headfirst into what has become a “bug-eyed” mania; broadening the span of their lenses, and excising the bulky hinge. Only time will tell if this trend will continue its contact with the style-savvy humans of Earth, or if it will take the next flying saucer out of this world.
Skinny Shades
Every trend has its polar opposite, and nothing is a better match to rival that of the big-and-the-bold, than a pair of lean-and-mean darkened frames. More reminiscent of the 90’s industrial dystopian image, narrow glasses have landed their day in the sun once more. Trend predictions allude to an all-new level of sleekness, with fully blacked-out lenses, and pencil-thin shapes. With warmer temperatures on the horizon, something tells me that these will be a go-to for not only those inclined to the soft-goth resurgence but for supermodels and A-list actors as well.
Athletic Sunnies
It is always nice to show some love to a downplayed trend, while also providing alternatives for those embracing the “anti-outfit” ensemble. Unsure of what makes the cut? Let me clue you in. We are talking about everything encompassing matching Lycra sets, windbreakers, and off-road approved tennis shoes; the entire Sporty Spice package. These sports performance “rainbow” polarized lenses are the quintessential accessory for the athlete straight from her high-impact cardio session, but they also make you look like a million bucks as you bike your daily commute. We have seen the likes of these shades hit the mainstream circuit with celebrities donning cropped puffers and biker shorts in 2022, and we will continue to see them as the weather brightens up.
