Menswear is increasingly becoming innovative and experimental. Designers are experimenting with various colors, shapes, and textures. Check out the most recent red-carpet events, for instance. Names such as Colman Domingo, Andrew Garfield, Tyler James Williams, Lewis Hamilton, and Paul Mescal demonstrate that men's fashion is equally interesting as women's fashion, with a spotlight on accessories. 

The top male actors in Hollywood are wearing a variety of bold accessories, including statement brooches and eye-catching watches. Nevertheless, there is one type of accessory that we are especially enthusiastic about: sunglasses.

In the past, some men favored sunglasses such as the Ray-Ban Aviator and Wayfarer to name just a few. Over time, they started by experimenting with various designs from labels such as Tom Ford, Oakley, and Carrera. Despite this, the industry has also changed. Currently, there is a wide variety of sunglasses available for men, as demonstrated by the spring/summer 2025 fashion shows. We are referring to exaggerated, ultra thin, and more. 

Casablanca and Emporio Armani popularized skinny legends; Amiri and Mihara Yasuhiro brought yellow lenses to our attention; while Vetements and Junya Watanabe made us reconsider performance glasses.

If you're questioning why men need multiple types of sunglasses in their collection, allow us to explain. Some sunglasses are perfect for holidays and relaxing under the sun, while other types are more appropriate for formal events such as weddings or balls. 

Some sunglasses complement a white T-shirt, classic blue jeans, and loafers, whereas others are more fitting for sweatpants and sneakers. So, keep on reading to uncover the latest trends in sunglasses while considering which ones to add to your collection.

Ultra Slim

Skinny frames have been popular among female celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Katie Holmes, and Gigi Hadid for a while now. Currently, men can also participate in the enjoyment as very thin designs were popular on the spring/summer 2025 runways of labels such as Casablanca, Theophilio, and Armani. 

The appearance exudes a cool, effortless, and unquestionably edgy vibe. The small accessory can give a suit a unique element or enhance a sweater and pants. If you can't find a pair of skinny sunglasses, feel free to browse the women's section in your favorite store! Most sunnies are unisex. 

Oversized Sunnies

The bigger the sunnies the better. When upgrading your sunglasses collection, don't hold back. The spring/summer 2025 collections from Kenzo, Valentino, and Prada showcased large designs in various silhouettes. Some had a modern look while others had a traditional appearance—all were huge.

Not only do oversized sunglasses make a fashion statement, but they also offer additional safeguards against damaging UV rays.

Edgy high performance

It is not surprising that high fashion is influenced by sports, including performance wear, as fashion draws inspiration from various sources. In the past, baseball players mainly wore Oakley sunglasses with chrome or metallic rims, but now they are a popular fashion trend on the spring/summer 2025 Vetements runway. 

The integration of performance wear into high fashion feels cutting-edge, forward-thinking, and groundbreaking in creating the best golf sunglasses.

Cool Circles

Circular sunglasses, also known as "teashades," have existed for many years. Consider John Lennon and Janis Joplin. The quirky style is quite fun. 

Labels such as Casablanca, Mihara Yasuhuro, and White Mountaineering presented us with modern interpretations of the style, demonstrating that circular sunglasses are timeless.

Yellow-Tinted Lenses

Yellow-tinted sunnies are aesthetically pleasing. The appearance has a vintage vibe, but not in an outmoded manner. They bring added appeal and individuality to a look easily. Imagine a plain white tee paired with denim shorts. Simple, correct? Yet, by utilizing yellow-tinted lenses, the attire seems more refreshing. 

The rule also applies to a linen suit or even workout clothes. Brands such as Prada, Amiri, and Mihara Yasuhiro presented various styles of sunglasses with yellow tint, indicating that you can include more than one in your collection.

Square Round

To diversify your sunglasses collection, simply introduce various shapes. You don't need to get extremely wild, it could be as simple as something understated such as square round. 

This combination of classic and timeless elements with a fresh and intriguing twist continues to be appealing. These sunglasses are also versatile, you can find square-shaped sunglasses with very thin arms, bold frames, or rimless options.

Staple Square Black Sunglasses

Timeless square black sunglasses remain a key piece in men's fashion, praised for their classic charm and unparalleled flexibility. These modern, sharp-edged frames provide a simple appearance that can enhance any ensemble, whether it be a laid-back street style or a formal outfit. 

Whether you are going to a work meeting or a weekend getaway, square black sunglasses are the ideal accessory, offering a sophisticated yet casual look. Their wide, square design suits various face shapes, making them a universally appealing option.

Refined Quiet Luxury

This year, lots of men are moving towards elegant, subdued luxury sunglasses, preferring simple, minimalist styles instead of loud, flashy logos. Luxury brands such as Bottega Veneta and DITA are at the forefront of this trend, providing elegant and stylish frames with understated accents that convey a sense of luxury without bold logos or decorations. 

This trend attracts people who appreciate skilled work and uniqueness but desire a subtle, understated style. The emphasis is on exceptional quality and design, enabling the wearer to experience high fashion while maintaining an effortlessly polished and refined appearance.

Classic Ray-Bans

Raybans continues to be a highly renowned brand in men's eyewear, and they are still leading the way in creating classic and fashionable sunglasses in 2024/2025. Ray-Ban is widely recognized for its timeless styles such as the Wayfarer and Clubmaster, making them a popular option for those looking for lasting fashion. 

This year, they have elevated their product line with the introduction of the 'mega' collection to meet the increasing desire for large sunglasses. These oversized frames provide a bold and trendy appearance that is ideal for men who want to stand out while appreciating Ray-Ban's reputation for quality and design.
