These Are The It Sunglasses Of The Summer

By ESSENCE Fashion Editors · Updated July 25, 2023

As we are currently in the thick of summer and Essence Fest is literally around the corner, that means good music, good vibes, and great outfits are on our minds. As we all know, sunglasses are a must-have accessory for the summer, and every summer, there’s always a specific shaped frame that becomes the “it” item of the season. Last summer, it was the inflated cat eye sunnies from Loewe, and we can report that Loewe once again has the sunglass shape of the summer; the Mirror Acetate Shield frame. Sported by Beyoncé on tour and all your favorite fashion girlies, the sporty shape is practically sold-out everywhere but for very good reason. Sporty sunglasses have become the it accessory as of late, catching the eye of the fashion-forward and maybe even the sports enthusiasts. With their athletic design and innovative details, these types of shades exude unbothered and effortlessly cool. These sleek and stylish eyewear options seamlessly blend fashion with functionality, making them the perfect choice for both outdoor adventures and trendy streetwear. Whether you’re engaging in intense physical activities or simply strolling around town, these sunglasses make a bold statement and can turn heads.

When it comes to styling sporty/visor sunglasses, try not to overthink it. Consider the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. If you’re going for an athletic look, pair your sunglasses with activewear or athleisure outfits. Definitely go for pairs that fit your face shape. Rounder frames can soften angular features, while square frames can add structure to a softer face shape. Opt for sunglasses that either match or provide a stylish contrast to your outfit, and don’t be afraid of colors! From mirrored lenses to bold frame designs, embrace the versatility of sporty sunglasses to create unique looks.

You can go sleek and chic like this look below in all black. Keep everything to a minimum, and let the sunglasses do the talking.

Or, you can go all out with a huge pair of sporty shades to block out the haters and the incessant sun.
