Sunglass Trends | South Africa

Sunglasses are one of those ever changing trends; from year to year you’ll find certain style falling away and new trends pushing to the surface. This year sunglasses are all about being adventurous, bright colours and bold prints so here we’ll try and breakdown the most wearable Spring trends of 2017 just for you. 

Shield Sunglasses

80’s has come through strong this year in clothing, shoes, patterns and now sunglasses too. We absolutely love these shield style sunglasses, it will shield you from all those people you’d rather avoid and let’s not forget the paparazzi (let’s play pretend for a moment).

Polaroid 

The Polaroid trend is a favourite throughout the world from fashion bloggers to sports stars everyone owns a pair of Polaroid sunglasses. It is outstandingly obvious that Aviators are a classic and genius choice and the style that most people would opt for as it compliments most face types. 

Brow-Bar Sunglasses

The brow bar is typically spotted on aviator styles, but this summer, it’s making an appearance on all types of silhouettes. From round sunglasses, like the pairs our editors wore here, to cat-eyes and geometric shapes, this detail adds a little drama to any pair of sunnies.

The Extreme Cat-Eye 

This traditional shape takes it up a notch with this summer season. The cat-eye is really making a statement by going for extreme, think over-sized or polarised, anything that give a usual pair of cat-eye sunglasses some extra spunk. 

Coloured lenses 

This trend started showing up last year during the spring and summer season, it grew really quickly and now it’s one of our must-have trends for this season. Why wouldn’t you want to look at the world through rose-tinted sunglasses? ’90s-inspired red to psychedelic ombre, lenses of all colours of the rainbow are a must.
