Sunglasses: summer 2023 trends
The arrival of the summer season brings with it numerous and inevitable stylistic issues, which vary from clothes to survive the heat to essential accessories to elevate any type of outfit. Sunglasses fall into this category, fundamental accessories capable of distorting the final effect of a look. There are timeless and always up-to-date models. But the season’s catwalks have indicated the 2023 sunglasses trends that will characterize the summer.
What will be the sunglasses trends for summer 2023?
For summer 2023, the more linear shapes and the classic havana color will be temporarily set aside.
The season’s top models prefer pop nuances and bold shapes.
Mask glasses and models with rounded lines and oversized volumes are back, typically from the Seventies, but reinterpreted in a modern key also thanks to unusual palettes.
Below are the sunglass models that will be trending during summer 2023.
Mask (h3)
Also known as shield, it is an oversized and enveloping eyewear model.
The season’s models are made of lightweight materials, such as titanium and have geometric shapes from the classic, square to the more sinuous ones, which better embrace the oval of the face.
If you are looking for unconventional glasses, the mask is the right choice. Oversized with a thick frame if you love to go incognito, sporty if you choose multitasking glasses to be used even in outdoor activities, in metal or very light for those who want to experiment with this shape for the first time.
Transparent but colored frames
The classic acetate model is reinvented, thanks to pop colors ranging from bubblegum pink to sunflower yellow and frames that are not at all trivial and also reminiscent of clouds.
For those who love the most classic models, there is no shortage of oval shapes, while square ones lend themselves to any face shape.
New shapes inspired by the Seventies
Round or square, the important thing is that these glasses models are over and cheeky.
From classic blacks, but with clearly visible golden logos, to the most particular palettes, such as tortoiseshell combined with contrasting lenses or chromatic frames.
There is also the iconic, rectangular and snug model.
Metal frames
This model of sunglasses takes us back to the Nineties, when we liked to wear glasses with silver or gold frames, very light.
Now they return in a hyper-modern guise, which plays with hyper-stylish colors and geometric shapes, from oval to hexagonal.
Metal sun frames are in the top ten trends. They can be oversized, teardrop, round, oval, colored, gold and silver.
Their beauty is that they are lightweight glasses, also perfect to be worn with prescription lenses.
They can be worn with casual and minimal looks in the city and, on the beach, with a masculine shirt over a bikini.
Cat Eye
A classic that never fades and that women like because it elongates the shape of the face. It is inspired by the 50s and is super feminine. On the beach it goes well with the two-piece with the high culotte, but if you don’t like the retro style too much, it also works great with jeans and a striped masculine shirt.
Opt for futuristic shapes, or precious details, up to a bold pop of color to make yourself stand out so cleverly.
Square shapes in neutral colors
For those who love normality, even in sunglasses format, the iconic square model, but oversized in shades of black and havana, does not disappoint.
If you want to impress, you can opt for a designer model, with the latest fashion details, even if it may look like “basic” glasses on the surface.
Summer 2023 sunglasses trends, what do the designers propose?
The most visible model on the catwalks of the season is elongated and thin, accompanied by very dark lenses and lying on the highest part of the nose.
Protagonists of the Balenciaga and Dolce & Gabbana shows, the rectangular sunglasses hide an eclectic soul, which goes well with both an apocalyptic scenario and an imagery of a femme fatale of yesteryear.
Summer 2023 sunglasses discover a cutesy and fun shade to illuminate the face and enhance the (future) tan.
The purest white lights up different frames, demonstrating all its potential applications. Versace features square cat-eye models, which combine modernity and vintage.
Giambattista Valli, on the other hand, reaches the pinnacle of bon ton, in perfect contrast with the pink lenses. In Christian Dior’s collections, white rhymes with sport. The designer offers rounded glasses almost like a mask.
The 2023 sunglasses trends have laid bare all the possible souls of round sunglasses. They are unisex and go well with everything: with a maxi dress with a folk style like in the 70s or with a light Saharan jacket, for a trip to the desert.
Small or maxi, with oversized or thin frames, with dark or gradient lenses, there is no aesthetic or outfit that does not go well with this type of accessory.
The Max Mara collection offers sunglasses that vaguely recall the Seventies, fascinating and impossible to forget.
Chloé prefers a shiny frame with rounded corners made of recycled acetate and bio-based nylon. Ermanno Scervino offers an essential and androgynous version.
