13 pairs of sunglasses for all occasions: From simple to luxurious
Sunglasses must protect eyes from ultraviolet - It's nice when they also complement the image and act as a fashion accessory. This season, designers advise not to be modest and choose a bright pair for yourself: with mirror lenses, smooth ombre and an abundance of decor. We chose the most interesting and, no less important, wearable models in line with the trends of the season.
& Other Stories
Color-block is a popular trend not only in clothes, but also in accessories of this season. The Swedish brand & Other Stories has such black glasses with pink and blue splashes. It is easiest to combine them with monophonic, low-key clothing, unless, of course, you want to get a bright image in every sense.
€39
Le specs
Great news for fans of the Australian brand Le Specs - the iconic model Lolita, inspired by the film version of Kubrick, again on sale. The shape of the frame "cat's eye" with a narrowed shape and slightly raised edges still does not lose relevance: these glasses will fit the set in a classic style, and more casual clothes.
$119
Epokhe
Popular Australian brand Epokhe was invented by director Kai Neville and professional surfers Dion Agius and Mitch Coleborn. As is usually the case, the guys could not find suitable sunglasses and decided to make their own, attracting creative friends to collaborations. It turned out not just a fashion brand, but a real community of like-minded people.
For example, the extravagant glasses model Imogen was born in collaboration with fashion consultant and stylist i-D and Dazed Imogen Barron. On the site, you can watch a video of the Carribean Dream, in which Barron took part, and feel the carefree atmosphere of the coast of Panama. But we advise you not to get involved too much - Epokhe glasses are available in limited editions and fly like hot cakes.
$290
Retrosuperfuture
Italian sunglasses brand Retrosuperfuture has gained universal popularity due to eclectic design. In their cult model Arca Infrared used innovative optics of the German company Carl Zeiss Vision, which not only protects the eyes from ultraviolet radiation, but also completely hides them - from prying eyes.
€269
KREWE
This season, not to do without a catchy decor, sequins, rhinestones, and bright paintings will be relevant (as in the shows of Dolce & Gabbana, Kenzo and Gucci). The main thing - to carefully combine these glasses with fancy clothes or an intricate hairstyle. We liked the Octavia model, handmade by the New Orleans brand KREWE.
£225
Linda farrow
Sunglasses "butterflies" something like "cat" - however, the curves they have more smooth. This model of the English brand Linda Farrow, in addition to its spectacular shape, we liked the marble rim in cold tones, so popular this season. And the glasses have a slight effect of degradation: the upper part of the lenses is darkened slightly more than the lower one. Smooth ombre this season can be found in many - for example, Fendi.
€480
Uterqüe
Despite all the warnings of ophthalmologists, colored lenses appeared in the collections of many designers this spring: green ones from Marni and Elie Saab, yellow ones from Stella McCartney and Byblos Milano, pink ones from Givenchy and Paul Smith. We found purple lenses in the collection of the Spanish brand Uterqüe, and besides, manufacturers promise 100% eye protection against UV rays - this is not the most important thing.

Illesteva
Round glasses are a bright trend, which year has not kept up the momentum. Such a frame could be seen at the shows of Dries Van Noten, Thom Browne and Acne Studios. We found the classic "Lennons" in a metallic frame of silver color in the collection of the American brand Illesteva. The laconic model Porto Cervo is complemented by light handles and ergonomic ear hooks.
$195
Karen walker
This spring, overseas glasses are popular, regardless of shape - these can be hypertrophied “butterflies,” large-sized “aviators,” or such futuristic glasses with mirror lenses, like those of the New Zealand brand Karen Walker. The model is made of pink acetate and comes with a leather case.
$270
Westward leaning
The Vanguard 19 model from the collection of the American brand Westward Leaning is a topical interpretation of classic "browliners" with a thickened upper part of the frame. Thanks to their serious look, such glasses will easily fit even into a strict dress code. With each sale, Westward Leaning donates 10% of its net proceeds to charity projects - which is no reason to get a pair.
$225
Ray-ban
What sort of sunglasses can do without the legendary Ray-Ban? A year ago, the brand released a series called Clubround. Glasses with round lenses inherited the silhouette of the iconic Clubmaster model with an emphasis on the eyebrow line. We especially liked this option: here there is a two-color frame "under the turtle" and mirror lenses of purple tint.
£149
Tomas mayer
Drop-shaped aviators are real record holders of the podium. However, over the years of popularity, they have undergone some changes: for example, a model appeared in the Tomas Maier collection that combines at least two trends - a double jumper and colored lenses. The latter are decorated with a canonical palm print for the brand to make the whole world look like a tropical beach.
£167
Massimo dutti
Horn-rimmed glasses are a real classic. They received the greatest popularity in the 60s, when such models were honored by politicians; in the 80s they were associated with Christopher Reeve as a shy journalist Clark Kent, and now they are perfectly complemented by retro images. In the collection of the Spanish brand Massimo Dutti there are such horn-rimmed glasses on metal handles. Protective case bright red color attached.
