While stylish sunglasses are a year-round wardrobe essential, the accessory is synonymous with the spring and summer months. As such, the anticipation of warmer weather prompts us all to re-evaluate our current sunglasses collections and look for new updates to the rotation. And we certainly have some new and bold sunglasses trends ready to explore — and complement the ready-to-wear 2023 trends [1] already on our radar. This year, we are seeing the classic sunglasses shapes and colours re-imagined. That could be a retro shape upgraded with a new colour frame or mirrored lens; an oversized take on a timeless style; or a silhouette that feels vintage and futuristic at the same time. With a colour palette [2] that ranges from bright pink to classic white, incorporating neutral blacks and tortoise tones, there's something for everyone when it comes to the biggest sunglasses trends of 2023.
If you like to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe, or step out in bold monochromatic hues, you'll love the Barbiecore pink [3] sunglasses trend. It's a playful and vibrant take on your everyday sunnies, adding a carefree vibe to any outfit you pair it with. For a futuristic trend, look no further than highly-reflective lenses. The mirrored shades are upgrading classic styles and giving them a fashion-forward edge. And of course, there's the proliferation of new neutrals, like white, showing up on oversized and standard sunglasses alike.
What's more, you can source some of our favourite up-and-coming sunglasses trends from brands you already know and love like & Other Stories, Le Specs, Celine, and Miu Miu. With finds at Amazon and Target as well, there's a point of access for every budget as you upgrade your stash. Ahead, find 6 sunglasses trends that you need to try this year.

Mirrored Sunglasses
Each year, there is a single vestige of a futuristic trend and this season, it's mirrored sunglass. Sunglasses of all sizes lend themselves well to the trend, as it has less to do with shape and more to do with the lens treatment. No matter what style frame you love most, make it mirrored this year.

While white generally falls into the same neutral colour category as black, sunglasses are different. There's something about the bright white frame that makes it stick out from the rest — almost as if it were a bright neon tone. But with the white sunglasses trend, you can truly wear it with everything you own. They're a must-have for 2023.
