Sunglasses are surely one of the most important accessories of any summer wardrobe, and if you’re looking for new shades for the sunniest time of year, consider adding a pair with a pop of color to your sartorial routine. Sunglasses with color-tinted lenses have been rising in popularity as of late, and we’re very into the colorful trend. While there’s nothing wrong with a classic pair of black or tortoiseshell frames, what better time than summer to introduce a more unexpected, colorful accessory into your rotation?
There’s a pair of stylish, color-tinted sunglasses for every fashionista, whether you’re going for a wild child 1970s vibe or perhaps more of an early aughts aesthetic. You could opt for oversized, thick-framed colorful shades, or teeny-tiny shades, in colors ranging from blue and purple to red and yellow. Below, see the best color-tinted sunglasses to incorporate into your summer closet.
