Summer is the perfect time to try something new. Fresh colours, bold shapes, and effortless style are defining this year's biggest eyewear trends. If you've been thinking about updating your sunglasses, here are the looks you'll be seeing everywhere.

Oversized Frames
From oversized rectangles to bold butterfly shapes and other generously sized frames, bigger is definitely better this summer. Not only are oversized frames on trend, but they also provide better coverage to help protect your eyes from the sun. They're surprisingly versatile and can instantly elevate almost any look.
