Style moves fast, and the words people use move with it. Here is a plain guide to what you see on younger faces right now, with a reminder that a frame which fits and suits you beats one that is only popular.
What do younger people call sunglasses?
Commonly shades and sunnies. In India you will also hear cooling glasses or simply goggles. Slang shifts, so treat these as common words, not rules.
Looks you see a lot right now
- Round and oval frames. Soft, light and easy. See frame shapes explained.
- Thin metal frames. A quiet, minimal look. Browse minimal frames.
- Oversized shapes. Large lenses that make a statement.
- Cat-eye frames. An upswept corner that lifts the face.
- Light tints. Brown, grey and soft colour lenses, for glasses and sunglasses alike.
- Retro looks. Older shapes keep returning with new colours. See statement frames.
How to wear a trend without regretting it
- Start with your face shape. Try the free face shape finder and read best glasses for your face shape.
- Change one thing. A bold colour or a new shape is enough. Keep the rest simple.
- Check the fit. A slipping frame never looks good. See the frame size guide.
- Think about your day. A frame you wear every day should be comfortable first.
