The Hottest Sunglasses Trends Of 2024

With such a bright future ahead, girlfriend, you need some gorgeous sunglasses! And why not strut into 2024 wearing the most coveted shades the world has to offer? The good news is that this year's sunglasses forecast is all about dopamine accessorizing: we're after fun pieces that express joy and personality, boosting our happy hormones while shielding our eyes from the sun. 

The philosophy of improving our mood with sartorial statements is cheerfully influencing everything we wear in 2024, so it's no wonder sunglasses are getting inspiration from the trend. Capsule wardrobes are all about bright tones rather than blacks and beiges. On top of that, 2024 is the year of primary colors, so we're seeing brilliant blues, vivid reds, and lemon yellows everywhere, including in eyewear. The color trends also invite sweeter hues, with candy-coated pastel tones reigning supreme this year. With these vivid pigments in mind, let's take a look at our favorite adornments: the ultra-cool sunglasses of 2024. 

We can't resist the lavish, baroque sunglasses that are cropping up all over the place in 2024. Thick, golden frames with chocolate brown lenses create jewel-like eyewear that's perfect for dressing up any look. Rectangular shapes with wide arms add a modern edge to these works of art. Get ready for a complete outfit embellishment thanks to golden shades that are so beautiful, they could frame a painting. 

Of all the eyeglasses trends that are popular in 2024, we have to cast our vote for the slim, gold-tone wire shades. These are particularly suitable for those who don't like the shielding effect of thick arms on eyewear. Delicate, wire frames add a discrete polish to any look, and the golden tones warm up the face. Smoky lenses protect from the sun, and add a mysterious effect to the overall look, which is one of the many reasons we love these sunglasses so much. 

Sunglasses in 2024 are all about unusual shapes. Shield sunglasses are still huge, but hot on their heels are sci-fi shades, creating a memorable story thanks to their unconventional shapes. Think of them as the cat-eye sunglasses of the future. The exaggerated frame is part of the fun — and these sunglasses are not about hiding. Their D-frame shape means that they're often as tall as they are wide, and feature a raised wingtip, while still showcasing the brow. What's not to love? 

Gold-tinted lenses have the power to change the whole vibe of your outfit. Shades rooted in '70s nostalgia showcase brown frames with warmly tinted lenses, from yellows and oranges to golds and browns. These sunglasses lean into the oversized look, and thanks to their earthy color palettes, warm up the overall effect. Cool, retro eyewear is having a welcome Renaissance in 2024, and we love the throwback shades. 

Part of dopamine dressing is throwing a powerful jolt of color into monochromatic outfits, to tip the look on its head. That's why we love these neon-colored, sporty sunglasses that show up as the life of the party. Juicy, zesty shades of yellow, orange, and pink add an element of excitement. Think of sunglasses in these shades as adding vitamin C to your wardrobe health, bringing in some new energy.
