The Shapes of Summer

We wear them almost all year round, but it is during this season that sunglasses become the true stars of every outfit. And, thanks to advanced materials, new color palettes, and distinctive design lines, they go beyond being a simple accessory and become a language of style, playing a central role in defining a look. Here are the three trending shapes for Summer 2026.

Narrow And Wraparound

Balancing nostalgia and innovation, Summer 2026 marks the return of small, wraparound shapes inspired by the 1990s. These frames feature carefully proportioned silhouettes, often in total black, with a refined and understated elegance. Whether crafted in metal or acetate, with soft and updated curves, they are the perfect choice for those who prefer a more subtle and distinctive style over overt statement-making.

Oversized

Oversized shapes, including oversized pilot frames, take inspiration from the 1970s. Acetate frames in different shades of brown or classic tortoiseshell are proving especially popular in the most glamorous holiday destinations. These sculptural frames not only shield the eyes but also attract attention with their oversized gradient lenses, evoking the boho-chic style made famous by Jackie Kennedy Onassis.

Jewel-Like

Charms, pearls, twisted details, precious embellishments, crystals. Among this summer’s key trends are jewel-inspired frames, enriched with luxurious details that transform eyewear into a statement accessory full of personality. These are glasses for those who are not afraid to stand out, whether at a glamorous evening event or a poolside party. They are also the perfect way to add a touch of glamour to a more casual daytime look.
