5 Women’s Summer Sunglass Trends

1. Oversized Frames
   

   I generally steer towards the oversized look. IRIS has a wide selection of frames, but this oversized bohemian style quickly caught my attention. Reflective lenses are also a bold trend for the 2018 Summer season, which you will see in a few of the featured styles below.
   
   

2. Half Framed Sunglasses

   Taking it down a notch from the first pair this cat eye stands out because of it’s half bold frame. This popular trends allows you to have a bold look without feeling like it’s too over the top. This style would look great on a narrow face shape.
   

3. Aviators

   If you are an aviator loving, the style is not going anywhere this summer! Expect to see a lot of aviators this summer. It could be a classic look that you are used to or this newer aviator style that an IRIS sales associate mentioned was noticeably popular this season.

4. Big, bold and black

   I wouldn’t typically go this bold, but I had to give these thick frames a try. We aren’t just talking large lens that are trending, but thick frames that make a statement on your face.

   

5. Coach Round Sunglass Frames
   

   These sunglasses won me over. The classic retro round style of frames are a huge trend this season, even more then I realized at the time of purchasing. The round frames are a perfect way to make a statement with your look without an over-the-top bold frame.
