What was the 2024 sunglasses trend and why did it mark the year?

The sunglasses trend 2024 was characterized by large and colorful glasses, sporty models with a touch of design, extravagant styles and bold shapes, among many other features that we will discover throughout this post.

The 2024 sunglasses trend marked the year for being different and innovative. As far as sunglasses are concerned, they have opted for unique glasses, which are a bit different from the usual, although some classic models have resurfaced and have been renewed.

Innovative trends that surprised this year

This year, we have come across innovative trends offered by different sunglasses brands, which have managed to turn their glasses into a must-have accessory during 2024. 

Smart Glasses: fashion and technology

Some brands, such as Ray Ban, have opted to unify fashion and technology in their latest generation Smart Glasses.

Thus were born the Ray Ban Meta, which combine the characteristic Ray Ban designs with enhanced wearable technology Meta AI. Thanks to the speakers and camera integrated in its frame, these sunglasses allow you to listen, call, capture photos and transmit live. Quite an experience, isn't it?

Sporty models loaded with style

In 2024, sporty sunglasses were all the rage. Oakley sports sunglasses, for example, offer stylish eyewear with lenses equipped with technology designed to improve visual clarity and reduce glare.

This mix makes these sunglasses the ideal accessory for both outdoor activities and everyday wear.

If we continue talking about fashion and style in terms of sports eyewear, the Carrera Flaglab will not be missing in your collection.

Hexagonal sunglasses: modernity and sophistication

Hexagonal sunglasses have also been a big surprise this year. Following the oversize style that has been so fashionable, hexagonal sunglasses offer a modern and sophisticated design.

Their angular style is very versatile to adapt to any type of face, in addition to giving a touch of elegance and personality to your looks.

Some of our favorite hexagonal sunglasses are the Paloma by Linda Farrow and the Valentino V-Hexagon VLS115. 

Iconic models that led the trend in 2024.

Despite the fact that this year was betting on the novelty, there are several iconic models that led the trend in 2024, since, there are classics that never go out of fashion.

Aviator sunglasses: a revamped classic

Aviator sunglasses will never stop being trendy, as they are still one of the most used models in this 2024.

Recognized for their distinctive shape, this design was an icon for various celebrities, which has also helped maintain their popularity over the years.

In turn, this type of sunglasses has been adapted by various brands, which have managed to preserve their essence while adapting to the new times. In this aspect we highlight the Jacquemus Aviator and the Dita Vastik.

Cat Eye sunglasses: a look back in time

The 50s and 60s are making a comeback with Cat Eye sunglasses. Their retro look makes them a nostalgic favorite.

They are an icon of fashion and vintage culture, thanks to their elegance and sophistication. Like aviator sunglasses, they have been one of the favorite models of celebrities in recent decades.

In this case we have opted for the burgundy color of the Dolce Gabbana DG4417 and the modern print of the Etnia Barcelona Bette.

Colors and shapes that defined the style of the year.

Bright colors, transparent frames and oversize shapes defined this year's style. The 2024 has been characterized by breaking with the usual aesthetics and we are going to show you the models of glasses have swept in this area.

XL square sunglasses make their way into oversize style.

Within the oversize style, this year we have some clear winners: the XL square sunglasses. Their popularity is mainly due to the visual impact they cause and the personality they bring to all kinds of looks.

Although they are characterized by offering a modern style, the truth is that they already had their glory days in the 70s and 80s, but, like almost everything vintage, they have made a comeback.

They are a must-have accessory for those looking to stand out, as they are oversized glasses, with large lenses and thick frames. This, in turn, makes them perfect for offering full sun protection.

We know it can be difficult to choose, so we leave you here two models: the Gucci GG1692S and the Cartier Double C CT0507S. 

The neutral touch of sunglasses with clear frames

Transparent frames have been another of the great successes of this 2024, both in sunglasses and prescription glasses.

These tend to be light and modern, with a minimalist aesthetic. The simple fact that they are transparent makes them easily adaptable to different looks and styles, giving them an elegant and sophisticated look.

Among our favorites are the Prada PR 06YS and the Moscot Dolt Flesh Tortoise.

Personality and style: colorful sunglasses with bold designs

The success of colorful and bold sunglasses lies in the fact that they allow the wearer's style and personality to be expressed in a unique way.

They evoke creativity and fun while adding freshness and originality to each of your looks. Nowadays they are booming in the fashion world and it seems that nothing is going to stop them.

Proof of them are the Face á Face or Vava sunglasses, could you choose one of them?
