Want to get a jump on the trendy sunglasses fashion girls will be wearing in the coming year? Your style will be made in the shade with these fashionable frames that are set to dominate street style. From the newest statement frames, to updates on our favorite classics, these cute accessories will upgrade your outfits, while protecting your gorgeous face from the sun.
1. Translucent Lenses
Perhaps the biggest sunglasses trend we foresee (no pun intended) in the coming year is the arrival of clear lenses. While some pairs use advanced technology to offer extra protection from the sun's rays, most are designed for street style, versus wearing to the beach or on the ski slopes, where you require maximum dimming ability. Think of them as more of an accessory, such as a necklace, that can dress up your cute spring outfits.
2.Pointed Cat Eyes
Show off your animal instincts with these statement frames that are poised to take over the streets. These aren't your grandmother's sunglasses! The new, skinny cat eye style features sleek temples that taper to a point. Whether the lenses are opaque, as seen here, or clear to reveal your eyes, they are absolutely fashionable.
3.Oversized Glam Shades
Pump up the volume on your look in 2019 with a pair of over-sized sunglasses, for that Vogue-style jet setter look. Whether the frames are black, tortoiseshell, or colorful as pictured here, bigger means better when it comes to this fashion accessory. It's a style that is great for making even your basic outfits in jeans and athleisure wear look more pulled together.
4.The Shield
We used to see these sporty mirrored sunglasses mainly on skiers and other athletes, but this year, you can expect to them on the stylish city streets. Fashion girls love this style, notable for its one continuous lens that extends across both eyes, for its glamorous over-sized proportions — and because you can totally skip makeup if you are wearing a pair of these babies.
5.Extended Wayfarers
Wayfarers have been a cool girl accessory since the days of movie icon Marilyn Monroe, and this fashion year, designers are imagining them in new proportions. The modern wayfarer is slightly larger and more extended at the temples than previous versions, which is a bonus on those mornings after the night before, when you would rather hide from the sun.
6.Novelty Frames
Some of this year's most trendy glasses have non-traditional frames, adding plenty of uniqueness to your look. Mixed materials and multiple colors are a hallmark of this unusual new trend, which takes confidence to wear, but definitely will make you stand out from the crowd, if that's your intention.
