Nature waking up, the first rays of sunshine, terrace lunches and beach outings are slowly making their way back as summer approaches. It’s also time for fashion addicts to discover the trending sunglasses for this summer!

Round, square, silver, gold, acetate, tortoiseshell… you don’t know where to look anymore? Take a breath, everything will be fine. It’s time to make the checklist of the sunglasses that will make you the most stylish to welcome the sunny days.

Full metal frames

Already very present this year, metal is an essential trend for sunglasses in 2020.

Classy and urban, metal frames are (almost) feather-light and super resistant. You can wear your round or hexagonal gold metal sunglasses—don’t worry, you won’t be out of style.

For those who hadn’t yet fallen for metal this year and are looking for discretion and refinement, it’s time to give in!

Combined frames, a trendy and refined mix

Looking for a thin but more striking model? Go for a pair of combined-frame sunglasses.

A retro mix of metal and acetate that gives your look a vintage yet modern touch. Found on round, pantos, or double bridge aviator frames, the combined style fits many shapes.

As you can see, to stay on trend this year, the material is just as important as the shape!

A new trend: gold and white

An upcoming must-have slowly emerging in optical collections: gold and white sunglasses. A retro comeback, this frame—whether plastic or metal—combines both sobriety and elegance.

Depending on the model, this trend will suit both bold personalities and more classic styles.

Tortoiseshell, a safe bet

Classic tortoiseshell, two-tone, crystal… tortoiseshell is everywhere! But we want to be stylish, and for that, we don’t choose just any version! The trending sunglasses for this summer? Colored tortoiseshell! We want color in our eyes. Bright or deep black, forget discretion and embrace your style.

The timeless cat-eye in a metal version

Time to dig into your closet! It’s time to bring back your forgotten sunglasses. The Cat Eye, iconic from the 1950s and a must-have for influencers in 2019, is making a comeback in 2020. Light and feminine, these butterfly-style glasses bring us straight into a glamorous, sparkly era. Even better? The metal cat-eye. More modern and refined, we’re ditching plastic to stay both vintage and modern this season.

New sunglasses, yes—but eco-responsible ones too

Environmental concerns can no longer be ignored! Recycled acetate or eco-acetate, eco-friendly sunglasses are taking up more and more space in the market.

Today, brand commitments are increasingly important, with a growing desire to consume better: eco-friendly and recycled materials, durable components, recycled packaging, reused cardboard, etc.

The blue-white-red flag also shines with pride, with Made in France production on the rise. However, beware of “Made in France” labels that sometimes hide part of the production abroad.
