 Cat-eye — Cat-eye glasses continue to be a big trend this year.

 Pilot frames — Think new age aviators. You’ve likely seen your favorite influencer sporting pilot frames this year. They feature a brow bar and teardrop style frame, suitable for all. This staple look is the perfect blend between traditional and contemporary.

Clear-lens — For perhaps the biggest trend of 2021, look no further than sunglasses with clear lens, yes clear. While they may not offer protection from the sun, these see-through glasses feature a fun, chic look that you can sport outside or inside.

Classic — While all these styles offer fun looks for any outdoor (or indoor) activity, it’s true that everyone needs a pair of sunglasses for everyday wear. The aviator is a perfect go-to for any occasion, and rest assured, will never go out of style.
