The main summer accessory is rightly called sunglasses. Real fashionistas are ready to change them from season to season following modern trends. What glasses will be relevant in the summer of 2016?
This year, as well as a year ago retro style is in fashion, which also affected such an accessory as glasses. This can be seen not only by looking at their shape, but also at the details. Fringe, suede trim, flares are the clear favorites of this summer. Vintage round glasses Thin metal or wide plastic frames will add a retro accent to any look. It is preferable to wear such glasses with denim, suede and midi skirts.
In addition to retro, it does not lose its relevance cat eye frame, which visually widens the eyes and softens protruding cheekbones. This form only slightly increases in size from year to year and changes slightly, while the upper corners remain directed upward and look to the sides. In season spring-summer 2016 Particularly relevant are cat eyes with a color block effect, which successfully combine massive arms and plastic or metal parts.
In general, this year the main trend is not the product itself, but its finishing. The designers did not skimp on it, decorating the accessory with floral appliqué, rhinestones, various metal details, and also making the frame itself curly. The couturiers, without saying a word, gave free rein to their imagination, which is noticeable in all collections.
At the same time, the usual plain one does not lose its position and remains as relevant as ever; such models could be seen in the collections of all designers without exception. These glasses can be worn both with a bright summer sundress and with office clothes in business style.
If we talk about lenses, then this season the usual darkening, colored and reflective lenses are also popular. The latter can most often be found in aviator glasses. They go perfectly with jeans, a summer bright floor-length dress and gladiator sandals.
Speaking of fashion, it should be noted that this season it did not bring any surprises, so if you already have some of the above glasses models, then there is little point in spending money on new ones.
ABOUT They don’t allow you to look stylish and cool at any party, they make you stand out from the crowd. They protect us from premature wrinkles. They hide or emphasize the mirror of our soul. They are an iconic accessory. They are glasses. A person should have one pair of suitable, high-quality glasses. And a person who follows fashion simply must know what frames and lenses are relevant now. Therefore, we have prepared material about the trends of the spring/summer 2016 season for our dear fashionistas.
1. Aviators are timeless
AND glasses, invented back in the 30s of the twentieth century and once available only to pilots, remain relevant in our century. They have undergone minor transformations, but on the whole they have remained recognizable droplets. Nowadays, bright colors of frames and lenses, thick arms are popular. But aviators still remain themselves, no matter what Stella McCartney or Tommy Hilfiger does to them.
2. “Active” decor
ABOUT Dolce & Gabbana showed themselves especially here, they planted flowers, lush greenery and fruits everywhere. The spirit of hot Sicily has penetrated into jewelry, headbands, phone cases and, of course, glasses. This frame makes you want to bite into something, and it's amazing. Frames from Tory Burch and Opening Ceremony are a little less surprising. They are also beautiful and unusual, but still not so sunny and summery.
3. Colored lenses
T You can wear typical black and brown lenses next spring and summer. But know that you won’t get the title of the most trendy. All the power is in color and brightness (and in truth, of course :)). Purple, orange, pink - the designers offered options for every taste. But the most fashionable ones will be YELLOW. They are perfect for tanned skin and rosy cheeks.
4. And the cats still rule
AND again about one of the legendary frames. Like aviators, cunning cats do not want to go into oblivion. They become sharper and more colorful, trying to sparkle with stones and outlandish frames. In general, they do everything so that you don’t forget about them and caress you with your attention.
5. Ombre lenses
ABOUT ombre hair, ombre lips. These phrases are familiar to all advanced girls. What about ombre lenses? We think so too. Smooth transitions of tones, which can go from top to bottom, from left to right and vice versa, according to our taste and color, look very intriguing. They seem to highlight the eyes, but at the same time draw attention to them. Therefore, we strongly recommend not only dyeing your hair and lips using popular techniques, but also wearing interesting glasses.
6. Lenses outside the standard
N a few crazy motifs. Dedicated to all lovers of experiments and everything crazy...
Can't decide on one lens shape? No problem, you can wear two at once, Giamba offers this solution. Don't like the right ones geometric shapes. Again, no problem. Take a look at models from Kenzo and Miu Miu. They look very strange, but that is their beauty.
7. Oversized glasses
P We guess your reaction and jokes about the dragonfly and Tortila the turtle. But this will not surprise us or break us. We love these frames. And if glasses from Dolce & Gabbana may seem too, so to speak, elegant, then Gucci are gorgeous!
8. The main thing is that the suit fits... and the glasses match it
E that trend is not a curiosity. We have already mentioned similar solutions for bags and shoes, which exactly replicate clothing in color, print or material. It looks great. But still, this trend is for special glasses lovers, because not everyone wants (like Elton John) to choose glasses for every outfit.
9. Everything is clear and transparent
H then we are all about sunglasses... Models with regular lenses should also receive our attention! And it doesn’t matter whether you have good eyesight or not, glasses have long ceased to be an attribute only for people with poor vision. Choose models without diopters and, as they say, wear them with pleasure. As for the frames, these are the constant droplets, cats of bright colors. Unusual decor is also welcome.
10. Wild geometry and futuristic motifs
E These trends are perhaps for those who really love various space films about the conquest of alien planets and aliens. At least there's definitely something alien about designer glasses from Acne Studios and Louis Vuitton. They will make an extraterrestrial bow out of any most mournful image.
Quite recently, fashion shows all over the world have “noisy”, and now, having reconsidered what we saw, we can draw conclusions about what trends will be characteristic of the coming fashion season. And today on our agenda are fashionable glasses for spring-summer 2016.
Round sunglasses for spring-summer 2016
The first trend characteristic of fashionable sunglasses for spring-summer 2016 is the roundness of shapes.
For the third season now, rounded glasses have been trending. Models in both minimalist style and more extravagant and massive options are popular.
“Cat Eye” – sunglasses summer 2016
The next current trend that will appear in the next season is stylish sunglasses spring-summer 2016 in the “cat eye” style.
The designers of such sunglasses were probably inspired by the eyes of their four-legged pets. Both sporty and classic options made in a similar style are in trend. The most successful models, in our opinion, were presented by such brands as Bottega Veneta, Carolina Herrera, Charlotte Ronson, Fendi.
Fashionable sunglasses for the spring-summer 2016 season: avant-garde style
Another trend that sets the tone for fashionable glasses for spring-summer 2016 is large-sized shapes and maximum darkness!
In the coming season, not only oversized clothing will be at the peak of popularity, but also glasses. It seems that designers liked this trend so much that they extended it to accessories. The most successful models, it seems to us, came from Chalayan, Chanel and Maxime Simoens.
Color range
By the way, if you focus on the colors characteristic of the lenses and frames of fashionable glasses for the spring-summer 2016 season, you will notice that in almost all collections there are traditional models equipped with dark lenses in the same dark (black) frames.
However, in addition to classic black, bright models presented in almost all the colors of the rainbow will also be at the peak of popularity. This way, you can choose which side to stay on: the dark side or the bright side.
Sunglasses frame
The variety of frame shapes is another noticeable trend that sometimes gives fashionable glasses for spring-summer 2016 a completely futuristic look.
With the help of extravagant forms, the designers managed to achieve a truly amazing effect. Wearing glasses of this style, their owner sometimes resembles “Guest from the Future”!
Prints
Bright and contrasting prints are another trend that can be clearly seen in the collections of the upcoming season. Both geometric and animal prints on sunglass frames are trending.
Thus, to summarize, we can say without a shadow of a doubt that the upcoming fashion season will be really “hot” for original solutions.
The sun is not only gentle, but also insidious, regardless of the season. Therefore, you need to constantly protect your eyes: in the summer - from excessive brightness and burns of the cornea, in the winter - from being blinded by excessively white light that reflects off the snow-covered surface. The conclusion is logical: the issue of correct and trendy sunglasses is always relevant. What will designers please us with, what fashionable sunglasses will be in trend in 2019?
Key Color and Shape Trends
The frames and lenses become incredibly wide, which makes sense. This way, the eyes and part of the face are better protected from the sun, which prevents the appearance of facial folds, nets on the skin, and age spots.
Heavy, oval, rectangular glasses will also remain a thing of the past. In their place will come the following models:
No less pleasing will be the colors, in which the influence of animalistic motifs, geometric prints and bright colors will be visible. Black color will not escape the fashion spotlight either. The glass will remain the same: colored, translucent, completely darkened and with a mirror effect.
Sunglasses - fashion trends
Round glasses
Basically, fashion will push them out the door and slam it tightly behind them, leaving them behind the threshold along with the outgoing year. That is, round sunglasses will not be in trend, with one exception. Lennon frames will be at the peak of popularity: such small, invisible, perfectly round glasses. A folding option is possible, when the top colored glass rises slightly.
Non-standard forms
Prada demonstrated 2019 sunglasses of unusual shapes on world catwalks. Others, no less, joined her famous brands fashion industry, focusing on the non-standard frames and color palette. Such accessories do not just decorate - they make the look much more mysterious, brighter, more expressive, and the woman herself - charming. 
cat's eye
Glasses of this shape come straight out of the late 50s and early 60s, when they were at their peak in popularity. Cute, flirty, stylish - they transform so much that an ordinary woman becomes a beautiful lady, acquiring grace and confidence. The look appears playful, but stern, as befits a “cat’s” nature.
It is this form of frame that will reign in the upcoming fashion season, catching men’s hearts and causing women’s envy. Therefore, hurry up to become the owner of trendy sunglasses that have already appeared in the collections of leading designers. Moreover, you can give preference to both classic options and free variations on the theme - that is, extravagant and mega-fashionable. It is worth noting that this trend prevailed last year.
Mirror lenses
Mirrored sunglasses still remain at the top position. The color range of lenses can be very different - from dark blue to pinkish-red. The shape is not even of primary importance, since the entire emphasis is on glass with a mirroring effect.
Large frame
She was preferred by such key figures of the fashion world as Gucci, Versace, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana. Some glasses are complemented by openwork temples, others are decorated with crystals, and others are made incredibly elegant. In general, there is really enough variety!
What is typical is that such models must certainly fit into the ensemble, harmonize with the image and match the color scheme of the outfit. A special word about the shape: voluminous sunglasses can be square, semicircular and even slightly oval at the bottom.
Aviators
This type of frame is called aviator glasses due to its specific use. They have a special shape that gained popularity in the 70s, which still follows them from year to year. Their second name is “droplets” because of the hanging outer corners (more precisely, slightly beveled compared to the rest). Such glasses have deservedly won a place in the “classic” category, as well as among the trendy sun protection devices of the future fashion season.
Some key figures in the fashion industry have already made a choice in their favor, such as Dolce and Gabbana. And for good reason, because such a frame perfectly protects your eyes from the dazzling sun. In addition, they can be worn in any way:
- heavy;
- large;
- geometric;
- thin, etc.
Patterned glasses 2019
Patterned glasses 2019 are a hit. They definitely go into the winter fashion season and just as smoothly carry over into next year. What is characteristic of them? Patterned frame. She is their basic sign and distinctive feature, as well as a super trendy detail. In the collections you can choose all kinds of options. These include animal prints, small flowers, and “bouquets” of crystals. In general, each designer has his own preferred sample, which will certainly find fans.
Strict geometry
Geometric sunglasses are nothing new in the fashion industry. Fashion has repeatedly pushed them to the crest of fame, and then pushed them back. The current and upcoming seasons are one of those surges in popularity. The main frame shapes are trapezoid and square. Strict, correct, verified, but not prone to being weighed down by parts or materials. It was on them that Versace cast his gaze. And they hooked him. But the designer also added his own twist in the form of a bright color range, which will also be in fashion.
Leopard motifs
Such frames can be of any shape, because the main thing about them is the spotted leopard print. Sunglasses of this type will make a woman irresistible and the most fashionable, since they are recognized as a trend accessory of the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019. They are recommended by the famous fashion industry trendsetter Dior.
Monochromatic
Fashion will also give preference to monochromatic frames with calm, balanced colors. But rich shades will be no less popular. In general, the breakdown of sunglasses is as follows:
- soft pink;
- beige;
- black;
- red;
- Bordeaux.
The key condition is that the color must be mono, combinations are excluded. Two classic tones will become most popular: red and black. They radically emphasize the image and create a unique aura of mystery.
Vanguard
There is also something unusual: this winter and next spring, interesting frames – in some ways even unique – will be on the list of popular frames. Designer Markus Lupfer offers a huge collection of similar options. So the range is huge!
Oversized
This style will dominate not only among clothing, but also in the sunglasses category in the coming fashion season. Therefore, feel free to choose the largest frames possible. The shape doesn't matter, nor does the color. But the shade of the lenses is extremely important: there is a special preference for extremely dark glasses that do not let in either light or flirtatious female glances.
Bottom line
Whatever you prefer, everything will be perfect. The main thing is to listen to the advice of trendsetters in time, so as not to outdo yourself. Famous designers have already demonstrated the main trends on the catwalks. We, ordinary women, have only one thing left to do: think through the image, weigh the pros and cons, and then choose the most fashionable sunglasses of 2019 to highlight the image as much as possible.
Sunglasses not only protect your eyes from the sun, but are also one of the important attributes of shaping your image. In 2019, as in other accessories, size plays a big role in fashionable glasses. The frame should be large, sometimes covering half of the face. But in color there is complete freedom - white, yellow, coral frames reign on the catwalks and girls’ hearts. The exception is black frames - in 2019, designers do not favor this color.
Not standard
In 2019, designers are celebrating the triumph of imagination and originality. Frames welcome non-standard shape and lenses with interesting colors. These can be polygons with gradient colored lenses or a frame of glasses located at the bottom.
cat's eye
The trend smoothly moves from 2015 to 2019. Structurally, such glasses are made in the form of oval frames with the sides elongated upward. Universal models that suit almost everyone have confidently held their position for several decades, and 2019 is no exception.
However, frames are becoming more and more non-trivial, and if nothing can be done with the shape, designers engage in all sorts of decorations. Beads, gilding, artificial stones and rhinestones. These frames go with all styles.
They perfectly emphasize the severity of office style and add even more femininity to a romantic image. Such models look good on diamond-shaped faces. They balance a narrow forehead and chin and make the face more attractive.
Aviators
The model, who came into fashion after the film “The Aviator” with Leonardo DiCaprio, remains on the crest of the fashion wave. They capture the minds of designers, attracting not only the fair sex to their army of fans.
The model consists of round lenses in a thin metal frame. Lenses made from glass or high-quality plastic are available in black or mirror finish. Moreover, they can have orange, pink or blue shades.
A prominent representative, and actually the first manufacturer of such models on the sunglasses market, is RayBan.
Cat Basilio
Another trend that began in 2015 and is increasingly gaining popularity is quiet shade glasses. The round, rimless lenses are opaque black in color and are very similar to Basilio the cat's glasses.
When developing quiet shades, designers increase the size of the lenses, put them in a round plastic frame, and decorate them with rhinestones. These models are ideal for long, oval and square faces.
They fit harmoniously into the style of free artists and people of creative professions, they speak of a person as a person who thinks outside the box.

Rainbow colors
In 2019, black frames are taking a backseat bright colors. Coral, yellow, white, green colors are welcome.
In addition, the frame can be with leopard print or small flowers. As for the color of the lenses, designers do not experiment here. Classic colors are in fashion - black, blue, smoky gray, pale pink or burgundy.
Such models add playfulness and are perfect for summer looks.
Well forgotten old
Retro trends are coming back into fashion. The first place in them is occupied by giant retro frames, popularly called “dragonflies”. The main thing here is size - such models can cover almost the entire face, and therefore are especially loved by Hollywood stars. The shape can be round, square, rectangular.
Next come Wi-Fiers (travelers), another masterpiece from RayBan. The frame shape of such models is trapezoid with a weighted top. Classic retro-wifiers had a horn frame, now they have been replaced by high-tech materials.
Annie Hall glasses from the 70s are another retro trend. The round frame is quite large in size, but nevertheless does not look massive. IN classic version, glasses should cover the entire area from eyebrows to cheekbones.
Manhattans are retro glasses that first appeared on screens thanks to the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Subsequently, these glasses gained unprecedented popularity. In 2019, Manhattanites honestly occupy their niche of fashionable retro frames.
Retro-futurism. Oddly enough, this trend, which inspired designers in the 80s, has returned to the catwalks. Inspired by the developments and discoveries of NASA, astronaut glasses have come into fashion. These frames have remained this way, and are now gaining popularity in retro models.
