Season after season, trend reports come out for every imaginable fashion item, from the hottest colors to the ideal hemlines. Today, we're going to give a little love to our sunglasses - the accessory which, like shoes, are so practical, yet so full of potential for flair. Below are this season's top 5 shades:
1) We often categorize our sunglasses based on frame shape, but which category would this pair of Fendi sunglasses fit into? With its tilted lenses and almost upside-down look, you can bet you'll be shading your eyes in the most fashion-forward way possible. Go the unconventional route and boldly choose the pair in cheerful mustard yellow. (Fendi)
2) Round lens sunglasses are back! While the round sunnies of modern year hark lovingly back to the 1960s, they nonetheless have their feet strongly planted in 2013. Taking inspiration from John Lennon (who was at the pinnacle of this fashion statement), Zara updates the once-outdated shades with a sophisticated tortoise shell frame. (Zara)
3) Cat Eye sunglasses have been on trend for several years now, but 3D floral appliques are a fairly new addition to the fashion scene. Hit two birds with one stone in this pair of Urban Outfitters Black Floral Applique Sunglasses. Never have you looked so fresh emulating the 1950s. (Urban Outfitters)
4) Aviators are among the most flattering of frame shapes, radiating both uptown glamour and beachy carelessness. Update the classic dark frame by looking for punchy colors and thicker temples. These Forever 21 Aviator Sunglasses in rose pink are right in line with this trend, while still being subdued enough to be worn for years to come. (Forever 21)
5) There is something so pretty about this pair of Dolce & Gabbana Oversized Glitter Frames. With its clear frame and suspended glitter particles, the feminine, ethereal look is perfect for the girl who wants to surreptitiously shade her eyes and sneak a daydream. If a fairytale princess lived among us, she'd be wearing these lovelies. (Dolce & Gabbana)
