The sun is out and the summer season is here, so it’s time to take a look at the 2025 sunglasses trends. But what’s in this summer? From milky acetate frames to 90’s throwback shades, there’s a sunglasses trend for every style. We’re here with all the sunny style tips you need for the season.

What are the top Sunglasses Trends for 2025?

Here are some of the key sunglasses trends that we think will define the year ahead: milky translucence, 3D volume, maxed out, 90s minimalist, natural elements and butter yellow.

Wondering how to get the look and how to style the 2025 sunglasses trends? Take a peek at how we style our favourites below.

90s Minimalist

Look back a decade or two (or three!) for this 2025 sunglasses trend. 90s minimalism echoes the pared-back aesthetic of the era, so the Tathra Sun RX sunglasses are perfect for this.

Exaggerated cat-eye lenses with gold metal frames and ultra-thin sides mean these shades make a statement without losing any of their stylish simplicity. Complete the 90s look with low-rise bottoms and elevated basics on top.

Natural Elements

Take inspiration from Mother Nature for this trend. Opt for an earthy tone with the Yamba Sun RX sunglasses.

With geometric olive-brown acetate frames wrapped around retro-oval lenses, this pair perfectly embraces the natural world.

3D Volume

Turn this 2025 sunglasses trend all the way up. 3D volume is all about inflated silhouettes and rounded shapes.

Get the look with the Peahi Sun RX sunglasses.

The bold oval shape and eye-catching pink frames make this pair stand out from the crowd, and the deep sides give a modern twist.

Style this voluminous pair with oversized t-shirts, loose jeans and chunky trainers for a bold aesthetic.

Maxed Out

For larger-than-life looks, this trend is for you. Supersized silhouettes are perfect for nailing this sunglasses trend.

Why not try the Naples Sun RX sunglasses on for size?

Large square lenses give that throwback 70s aesthetic, while the brown acetate frames with a pop of blue on the temple tips add a contemporary twist.

Team these sunglasses with wide-leg bottoms and over-the-top layers for a super-sized trending ‘fit. 

Milky Translucence

Milky translucence echoes the soft aesthetics seen across the fashion week runways. These creamy coloured Roxy Sun RX 03 sunglasses are perfect for this trend.

With chunky frames, deep sides and retro rectangular lenses, this pair is finished with bold Roxy branding on the arms. 

Embrace the contrast with an edgy double denim look - another trend we have been loving.

Butter Yellow

This soft shade is too sweet to miss. Butter yellow is the perfect warm toned neutral, get the look with the Sheen Sun RX sunglasses.

These fun-loving sunglasses boast a heart-shaped frame in a soft summery yellow with stylish round lenses for a romantic touch on a classic.

Add a sunny warmth to your wardrobe and team this pair of sunglasses with head-to-toe butter yellow. We are melting over this monochrome styling featuring the gorgeous San Marion Sun RX specs.
