TREND #1

LOGOS, REIMAGINED.

The modern logo is served up in an artful mode, with prints and patterns utilizing brand monikers and marks on both frames and lenses.

Here, the Christian Dior CD Link A1U silver aviator sunglass from Thélios makes an understated statement with all-over logo print on blue mirrored lenses.

TREND #2

PERFECT PLACEMENT.

The new thinking on bling is clean, sophisticated, and perfectly positioned—understated is the new statement.

The Seraphin Shimmer Sun2 from Ogi Eyewear is a retro-inspired oval accented with rings of crystals. The Guess GU7848 from Marcolin is a modified square silhouette metal style that is framed in silver glitter.

TREND #3

DETAILS, DETAILS.

Wildly unique details are fixed on oversized-yet-wearable shapes for head-turning appeal.

The Futura Dot 9912 sunglass from Silhouette is an ultralightweight and super-modern crystal-hued style with a centering circle detail. The Miu Miu MU50SW from Luxottica shines bright with elegant crystal detailing on a sleek rimless silhouette.

TREND #4

THE FUTURE IS METAL.

Sleek and futuristic, modern metal styling is becoming a focus du jour for sunwear this season.

From top: The Salvatore Ferragamo SF290S sunglass from Marchon Eyewear is a sculptural round metal sunglass with chic, light-colored lenses. The Revo Black Air 2 sunglass from ClearVision Optical offers a lightweight design with a minimalist single bridge. The Silhouette Fisher Island 8182 unpacks a focus on the future with rimless lenses on an ultra-thin metal chassis with flash mirror lenses.

TREND #5

LOUD + CLEAR.

Graphic prints makes themselves known on sunwear this season, in everything from the animal inspired to logo infused.

From top: The Isabel Marant IM0005/S from Safilo is an oversized and modified rectangle emblazoned with an avant-garde zebra print on acetate. The Fysh F-2080 from WestGroupe is a glam silhouette accented with a print that channels a collage of stained glass. The Valentino VA4096 from Luxottica is a polished rectangle in acetate that boldly goes into the modern logo zone.
