Sunglasses are the kind of accessory that can instantly turn a simple outfit into a killer look. Wearing the latest trending sunglasses can even help make your favorite staple pieces look fresh and current, just by choosing shades that make a statement.

If you’re looking for the hottest trending sunglasses 2022 has to offer, look no further. Here are six sunglasses trends we can’t wait to rock this summer.

1. Shield Sunglasses

Shop the Look: Cool Views Blue Oversized Mirrored Shield Sunglasses

Y2K fashion is back on trend in a big way, which means futuristic accessories like shield sunglasses are back. These oversized shield sunnies will make you feel like an undercover celebrity, or like a bougie, ultra-stylish robot, whichever you prefer.

2. Mirrored Lenses

Shop the Look: In the Clear Square Mirrored Sunglasses

Another trend we’re loving is mirrored lenses–specifically, colorful mirrored lenses. These super-reflective iridescent shades will add an instant pop to any outfit and totally go with current festival trends

3. Oversized Square Frames

Shop the Look: Be Chic Brown Tortoise Oversized Square Sunglasses

If you love the look of shield glasses but don’t want to commit to the futuristic vibe, go with a pair of oversized square frame sunglasses. Oversized brown tortoiseshell shades give the same sexy glam vibe as the reflective shield shades but fall a little more on the classic side.  

4. Updated Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Shop the Look: Clifton Black Mini Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Cat-eye glasses are classic Old Hollywood glam, but this season they’re getting a little refresh. These mini cat-eye shades have the same classic, alluring feline shape, but are small and more angular to fit with the current futuristic trends. 

5. Wide-Angle Frames

Shop the Look: Lili White Square Sunglasses

Feeling retro chic? These wide frames are big, bold, and cheerful, giving us total Summer of Love vibes! Understated enough to be worn on a daily basis, you can also wear these to round out a festival or concert outfit.

6. Rimless Shades

Shop the Look: River Rose Gold RimlessAviator Sunglasses

Rims? Who needs ‘em! Rimless sunglassses are sleek, seamless, and oh so glamorous, with a floating effect. Honestly, these aviators are checking all the boxes: rimless, mirrored, and oversized.
