We’ll never say no to timeless eyewear, but we’re still suckers for the cutest sunglasses trends of 2024. Whether you’re tired of your current frames or you just want to look now, our favorite summer trends are already taking over our feeds and city streets—and all you need to do to get onboard is invest in a pair (or 10).
This season’s best sunglasses largely remix retro inspiration; peep the chunky aviators, shield sunnies, and oval frames that defined decades past, all updated for our current moment. Most importantly, though, they’re all genuinely wearable. Some are perfect as everyday pairs, while others are more for special occasions like music festivals—but all will get more than a season of use. Ready to step up your eyewear game? These are our favorite sunglasses trends of 2024.
Glamour’s summer sunglasses wish list
1. Retro aviators
Cool girls are reclaiming chunky, ’70s-style aviators en masse—and we couldn’t be happier about it. While wire-rim options will never go out of style, the most popular of the moment is thicker plastic in solid colors and tortoiseshell. These picks—including Aire’s ultra-popular $39 sunnies—are bold enough to jazz up low-key outfits like white T-shirts and jeans, yet versatile enough for more eye-catching ’fits like full suits and trendy summer dresses.
