Cool Sunglasses Brands For Women
Let’s be real – there’s something about slipping on the right pair of sunnies that instantly makes you feel like your coolest self. Whether you’re hitting the beach, running errands, or just need to hide behind something chic at brunch, sunglasses are the ultimate accessory – and this summer, the options are so good.
If you’re on the hunt for a new pair (or three – no judgment), I rounded up the trends that are totally having a moment right now. And yep, I’m linking some faves I’ve found, too.
Should Sunglasses Cover Eyebrows?
It depends on the style – and your personal preference. But here’s a quick breakdown: When it can look good to cover your eyebrows:
- Oversized or glam styles: If you’re going for a dramatic or fashion-forward look, it’s totally normal (and stylish) for the frames to cover your brows.
- Sporty styles: Wraparound or larger performance sunglasses usually cover the brows for better sun protection and a sleek look.
- Shield sunglasses: These trendy styles are meant to cover more of your face, including the brows – on purpose.
When it’s best to show your eyebrows:
- Classic or minimal frames: If you want a more natural or balanced look, opt for frames that sit just below or right at your brow line.
- For face-framing: Brows help frame your face and show expression – so showing them can keep your features from getting lost behind the glasses.
Pro tip from me:
Try them on and snap a quick selfie. If you love how you feel in them – that’s your answer. Don’t stress too much about the “rules.” Some people love a brow-peeking moment, others go full-coverage diva mode. Let the sunglasses match your vibe.
What Are Some Cool Sunglasses For Women?
All depends on your style and personal preference but I think you can rock all kinds of styles depending on the outfits too! Here are some go-to styles I love!
1. Oversized + Bold = Yes Please
Oversized sunnies are still going strong, and I’m here for it. Think retro glam meets beach vacay vibes. They instantly elevate even the simplest outfit – like a white tee and denim shorts. Plus, they give that “I just got back from somewhere fabulous” look.
Where to wear: poolside hangs, grocery runs where you don’t want to make eye contact, or with a cute sundress on date night.
2. Tinted Lenses (Colorful + Fun!)
I’ve been loving all the tinted lenses – yellow, rose, lavender. They give off a nostalgic 90s feel in the best way. Pair them with your favorite boho dress or a neutral linen set for a little extra personality.
Hot tip: Even if you’re keeping your outfit minimal, these lenses can totally be your pop of color.
3. Modern Cat-Eye Moment
The cat-eye is back, but with a twist – think sharper angles and fun colors like white, red, or tortoise. These are for my girls who love a little drama ( in your fashion, not your life ).
They’re flirty, feminine, and just the right amount of glam.
4. Minimal Metal Wireframes
If you’re into that effortlessly chic look, go for thin wireframes in gold or silver. They’re light, airy, and go with everything. I love these for coffee runs, a coastal weekend getaway, or just everyday errands.
Bonus: They work great for oval, square, and round face shapes.
5. 90’s Rectangular Revival
Yep, the 90s are still having their moment – and rectangular frames are back. These look especially good paired with slicked-back hair and a minimalist outfit. Instant cool girl.
My Advice? Get More Than One Pair.
Have a fun pair, a neutral go-to, and a sporty one in your rotation. That way you’re always ready for wherever the summer takes you. I love mixing affordable finds with one or two splurge-worthy styles that I wear on repeat.
