Looking to upgrade your summer closet? Sunglasses are always an easy accessory to upgrade any minimal look and add an interesting element to your outfit. Think fun silhouettes, colorful shades and more to get ready for the hottest months of the year.

If you can’t stand the glaring sun, opt for darker lenses like black, brown or blues that feature funky shapes, prints or colors that still allow one to partake in playful summer trends. Our picks include the JW Anderson pair that comes with a tortoise shell-detailed frame, the Gucci cat eye creation for a sleek and minimal look, or the latest drop from 30Sundays, which features green frames paired with black lenses, upgrading everyday eyewear with a pop of color.

However, if you want to lean into a more summer-appropriate pair to go with your white ensembles, opt for white sunglasses like Miu Miu’s sleek pair, or Balenciaga‘s bold gold logo-detailed frames. For the maximalist, the Loewe Paula’s Ibiza flower sunglasses are a great option for the summer — the cat eye frames are made of transparent acetate and the shape mimics flower petals. Under the same genre is Swarovski’s fuchsia pink pair, perfect for those who are still in Barbie land. But if you’re a minimalist looking to experiment, opt for simple shapes that come with tinted lenses, like the Prada’s round frames.

For those who prefer classics, Cartier has just the ticket. To celebrate 100 years of trinity, the maison has launched limited-edition eyewear inspired by the iconic ring, right in time for summer. The sunglasses are crafted with yellow platinum trinity rings, and a rose gold PVD metal finish honing elegance the brand is renowned for.
