This season, designers pushed the evolution of classic sunglasses, introducing sharp silhouettes, bold color treatments, and a distinct retro-futuristic spirit. From bohemian influences to clean, sculptural lines, the new collections present a dynamic spectrum of shapes.
TheDiary editorial team has mapped out the season’s defining sunglasses trends – highlighting the must-have styles already capturing our attention.

Retro in silhouette yet contemporary in construction, these frames effortlessly transition from casual to polished. Take inspiration from Saint Laurent’s runway and layer them with a bomber jacket and tailored suiting for a modern commuter look.
