TREND #1:

OUTLIVING.

Drama enters the style stage with defining outlines on frame fronts.

From top: The Carrera FlagLab14 from Safilo offers retro styling in a vivid blue hue. The Alaïa AA0066S sunglass from Kering Eyewear provides an outlined geometric silhouette. The Dita DubSystem DTS157 is an oversized metal aviator defined by turquoise gradient lenses.

 

 

TREND #2:

FASHION WRAPS.

Bold wraparound styling finds a home in fashion sunwear in both extreme wraps with a performance feel and fashion silhouettes that are pushed to the edge.

From top: The Victoria Beckham VB235S from Marchon Eyewear is a sophisticated wrap style. The Dolce & Gabbana DG6183 from EssilorLuxottica takes the base curve to an extreme. The Longchamp LO736S from Marchon Eyewear is an oversized wrap with lightly colored lenses and a fashion focus.

 

 

TREND #3:

3D TEXTURE.

Enter the tactile. Texture is a style focus across the board for Spring 2023, and sunwear is picking up on the vibe. One incarnation: 3D bling.

From top: The Jimmy Choo Meg/S from Safilo is a luxe white acetate style embellished with bold glitter. The Carolina Herrera HER0131/S from Safilo boasts elegant crystal detailing on a classic, oversized silhouette in a standout hue.

 

 

TREND #4:

WILD PRINTS + PATTERNS.

Sunwear amps things up with everything from bold, new patterns to watercolor effects and translucent tortoises.

From top: The Chloé CHO154S sunglass from Kering Eyewear is a sculptural round with an eye-popping print. The OTP OTPS2031 from WestGroupe is an airy style in translucent tortoise. The Roxy RX7007 from Mondottica USA unpacks a painted watercolor effect in cream accented with a bold blue hue.

 

 

TREND #5:

VIVA, MAGENTA.

The Pantone Color of the Year—Viva Magenta—makes a power play born of a bold, inspiring hue derived from nature.

From top: The Dita Arohz DTS156 takes the hue du jour into the style zone with a gradient lens. The Calella 8190 from Silhouette also delivers the drama in a round rimless shape in the hue in gradient. The Chopard SCHG32V from De Rigo REM is a modified rectangle that boldly shows up in the Viva Magenta zone.
