Summer is in full swing and many of us are looking for the perfect pair of sunglasses for our summer vacation, or maybe even for the daily commute to the office. There are a myriad of styles and there is a budget for everyone, so finding the perfect pair won’t be an issue. The only problem is, which style will suit you and are you looking for something trend-driven or a timeless, classic pair ?
70s Inspired Style
These types of sunglasses are inspired by the 70s and even 80s style. Think about the vintage-inspired sunglasses that were popular when Alessandro Michele was at Gucci . Sunglasses of this category can be trend-driven, often making it difficult for some styles to last for more than a season. These types of sunglasses can also only suit a select few group of individuals, who are more confident in wearing them than the average user. Hence why, going for an affordable option, to start, is the best way to experiment with this style.

The Matrix Style
Think Maison Margiela x Gentle Monster when you are looking for a matrix-inspired pair of sunglasses. Brands like Balenciaga fit this type of aesthetic but you can also opt for a cheaper version on Asos, if you don’t want to break the bank. It still feels like a futuristic style which has yet to resonate with the majority of the population and it tends to coincide with a particular fashionista; one who wears mostly black and grey and fits a Demna Gvasalia look.

The Classics
You can’t go wrong with a classic pair of sunglasses. These are everyday, wearable sunglasses, which most people buy as a safe option. These styles have been around for decades and every brand tends to have at least one pair of these types of sunglasses. The aviator style will always be popular, along with the cat-eye style, so opt for these, if you don’t want to be experimental with your eyewear. And, as always, there are plenty of affordable options online and in-store to choose from.
