Embellishments, 70’s retro frames and neon colors are among this season’s sunglass trends!
There’s nothing like the right pair of sunglasses to pull a look together! This year, it’s easier than ever to elevate your signature frames or to try something new altogether. Take inspiration from the ’70s and go for bold oversized frames, or play with some color—olive green and smoky reds are among the faves this year! You may even want to go for an edgier look and embrace the heavy metals trend with gold spikes. Whatever you decide, there are enough hot sunglass options this summer to keep you looking cool!
Below, check out (4) Summer Sunglass Trends from Black eyewear designers!
Embellished Frames
Embellished sunglasses are a great way to make a statement. The addition of pretty diamante and floral detail offers a touch of glam! Eyewear extraordinaire, Corey Woods offers an array of embellished frames in his Yerise eyewear and sunglass collections. The sought-after eyewear designer’s frames have been seen on the faces of Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Beyonce and many more! ‘The Diamone‘ pictured here, is the perfect combination of both the cat-eye and embellished summer trends.

Tinted Aviator
Aviator sunglasses have long been a popular choice for summer eyewear. This timeless look is turned up a notch this summer with the introduction of sporty silhouettes. Tired of the classic or mirrored aviators? Try subtly colored lenses. The below aviators are called the ‘Honcho‘ from 3rd Eye View. Click here to shop.
Clear Frames
The MOXI combination frame from famed eyewear designers and twin sisters CoCo and Breezy is unconventional to its core. It’s not quite square, but it’s not circular either. The full acetate frame makes it versatile and practical. Corianna and Brianna Dotson started their line more than 10 years ago, and their eyewear have since been worn by Beyonce, the late Prince and many more! Click here to shop.
