Listing the eyewear trends for Summer 2014

Sunglasses are an indispensable accessory in the summer, and also a fashionable and stylish item that helps women express their style.

As one of the "must-have" accessories for fashion enthusiasts, eyeglasses seem to have become an indispensable item for stylish women whenever they go out.

Besides familiar styles from Spring/Summer 2013 such as cat-eye or aviator glasses, this year's fashion season sees designers paying more attention to the details on the frames, increasing the thickness of the frames and adding playful patterns.

Along with classic and "iconic" eyewear designs, brands are also focusing on reshaping basic frames, innovating on every aspect of this small item to make them unique, fashionable, and one-of-a-kind.

Cat-eye glasses

Becoming a trend in the 1950s and 60s, popularized by timeless fashion icons like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor, classic cat-eye glasses are now being reinterpreted, incorporating details like metallic accents, vibrant colors, and eye-catching patterns to make the frames stand out even more.

Oversized cat-eye sunglasses are a favorite among Hollywood stars when they're out and about (From left to right: Nicole Richie, Gwen Stefani, Kate Moss).

Round glasses

Also humorously known as "fortune teller glasses," round glasses are a classic style used by ladies to complete their elegant and sophisticated look.

This Spring/Summer season, instead of the small, round glasses like those worn by the legendary singer John Lennon, designers have expanded the lens area and embellished the frames with a variety of colors, from white and blue to romantic pink.

Instead of somewhat boring classic eyewear styles, fashion enthusiasts are switching to... The new trend is more stylish with round, mirrored lenses, enhancing the fashionable look of the face.

Oversized glasses

Shedding femininity and gentleness, and embracing a strong, assertive style is the advantage of oversized glasses for "chic" women. Oversized glasses not only provide increased sun protection but also enhance a cool, sophisticated appearance.

This fashion season, oversized glasses have been given a softer design using plastic frames (instead of thin metal frames) without losing their inherent sharpness.

Thick-rimmed glasses

The frames are designed to be bolder and thicker, and the lenses are also made in unique and unusual shapes. However, not every face shape is suitable for wearing this style of glasses.

Printed frame glasses

It's not just fabrics that allow designers to unleash their creativity with unique printed patterns; this summer, brands are also releasing stunning printed eyewear. From floral prints and leopard prints to splashes of color and abstract designs, these styles add a cool touch to the fashionistas' look.

Aviator glasses

Originally designed for the US Air Force, aviator sunglasses are now increasingly making their way into fashion, becoming an essential accessory for women.

This summer, alongside classic styles, there are modern aviator sunglasses with more squared-off frames, mirrored lenses, and increased lens thickness for enhanced sun protection.

Mirror glass

Dominating runways big and small, creating a storm in street fashion, mirrored sunglasses are luxurious, stylish, and sophisticated, capable of winning over even the most discerning fashionista. Moreover, the mirrored lenses are compatible with all the styles of glasses mentioned above.
