Sunglasses are an accessory that will be relevant at any time of the year, not just in spring and summer. And there are never enough sun glasses! You just want to collect them: for a sporty look, for a bright smart casual, for a strict business look. The quarantine and the pandemic, one way or another, will end, and you will have to go out into the street from captivity. We propose not only to protect your eyes from the bright sun, but also to be stylish and fashionable. Here are the hottest sunglasses shapes, sizes and trends for 2024.

70s style

It was in the 70s of the last century that exaggeratedly large glasses were in fashion. Hypertrophied geometric shapes, mostly square, adorn the faces of models on the catwalks in 2024. But if in the 70s the frames were heavy, voluminous, massive and thick, today designers offer to wear lightweight options without sacrificing shape and style. Colored or black frames, thin weightless plastic or metal, dark glasses or a gradient - you choose. We saw such options at the shows of Prada, Elie Saab, Etro and Christian Dior.

Narrow and elongated

In contrast to the large square half-face frames in the style of the 70s, narrow frames also appeared on the catwalks, stretching to the sides. Fashion is really cyclical, because such frames were already relevant in the early 90s. Today they are even more spectacular: faces extended far beyond the oval, pointed, triangular or oval (Valentino, Proenza Schouler and Christian Siriano). Such a model is very interesting, but it should be understood that it is not suitable for a round face, but for an oval of the correct shape.

Goggles

These goggles resemble a swimming mask or special paraphernalia for the professions of a doctor, chemist, research scientist, etc. They are, as a rule, one-piece, the frame combines the right and left glass and does not have a jumper. There are options without a frame at all - just one-piece cast glass of the required shape. Both the frame and the glass can be of any shade that suits you or the chosen image and clothing. We saw maxi on the catwalks of Lanvin, Guy Laroche, Versace, Boss and Louis Vuitton.

Aviators

Nothing more can be said about these glasses, as soon as the fact that they are a real classic. Indeed, one has only to think that they have been relevant almost every season for ... almost a century! This model is suitable for any face, for any shape and oval, the main thing is to choose the right size and width of the frame, as well as the degree of elongation of the lenses - "drops". For fans of the classics, they create models of aviators Celine, Rag & Bone and Michael Kors.

Side blinkers

Glasses with additional slats on the sides are not only fashionable, but also very practical. They can be safely worn along with a protective mask during quarantine and not be afraid of the virus being damaged by the mucous membranes of the eyes. Side strips are usually called blinkers - by analogy with protective strips on a horse's bridle, so that it does not stare at the sides. They perfectly protect the eyes from UV rays that come from the side. It's also incredibly trendy and stylish - just look at the shows of Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors and Helmut Lang.

Geometric shapes

In 2024, designers also paid great attention to strict and clear geometric shapes... These can be regular circles or elongated ovals, squares and rectangles, even triangles and polygons. The form is really important here, and not so much the color or the presence of decor. Typically, geometric sunglasses are plastic too. In general, it should be said that plastic prevails over metal this season. Look for trendy options at Self-Portrait, Gucci, and Paco Rabanne.

Metal oval

If you cannot without wearing sophisticated and elegant sunglasses with a metal frame, then choose an oval tapered shape for them.Don't take the round one - the right circle was all the rage last year. Today it is better to choose beautiful horizontally elongated ovals and thin metal frames. Glasses can be either dark, completely black, or completely transparent, as well as any other shades (Rokh, Self-Portrait and Area).

Pink color

Well, if you want to see life “in pink glasses”, if you want not to part with childish naivety, to dream, to believe in a bright future, wear this sun-protection accessory in pink! Especially now, when everything around is full of gray and negativity. At the same time, designers equally successfully use pink lenses and bright frames in pink shades in combination with neutral glasses. Models saw the world in pink at the shows of Anna Sui, Off-White and Versace.

White frame

Along with pink, a lot of designers have also turned to classic snow-white (Michael Kors, Versace and Vivetta). But since the glass of the sunglasses cannot be white, they used milky shades for the frames. The variety of shapes and sizes could not fail to please - you can find an option for any face shape. Models in the style of the 50s and 60s were most noticed with massive round and cat-eye-shaped frames. But the frame itself, one way or another, should be snow-white and quite noticeable, in priority - plastic.

Eyeglass chain

Initially, it had a purely practical role. With the help of the chain, which was attached to the glasses of the glasses and worn around the neck, one could not be afraid of dropping and losing them. But if earlier it was possible to do with an ordinary lace, now the chain for sunglasses is a fashion accessory and a real work of art. Silver, gold, pearls, stones and rhinestones, Swarovski beads, thin and thick chains, pendants and links of different sizes - designers Chanel, Gucci, Stella McCartney and Fendi offer to wear eyeglass chains in 2024.
