Sunglasses trends for 2021

2021 Sunglasses Trends - What Are Celebrities Wearing This Year?

If there's an accessory that never goes out of style, it's sunglasses. Shapes, colors, styles may change, but no matter what year (or season) it is - wear them. It's an integral part of all our lives because besides playing an important role in eye protection, it also dresses us perfectly.

You can hide behind them on a tired morning, jazz up a casual outfit with them, and count on them even at the most elegant events. Let's take a look at the celebrities to see what sunglasses they prefer in 2021 and how they combine them with outfits!

David Beckham and the Classic Wayfarer

David Beckham swears by the classic Wayfarer. The iconic Ray-Ban model appeared in 1952, popularized by Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Jack Nicholson, or James Dean. Following this, Ray-Ban sunglasses achieved enormous success in the fashion industry and quickly became cult items. The football star's example shows that even when paired with a simple black T-shirt, it adds a stylish touch.

Victoria Beckham and Oversized Sunglasses

Speaking of the Beckham family, let's not forget Victoria, who is known for her love of fashion. Her choice falls on a large, so-called oversized piece, which is a double good choice for her.

It fits well with the casual, white-shirted set, and it's also great for hiding from the clicking cameras of paparazzi - or not? Oversized sunglasses had their heyday a few decades ago, then narrower styles pushed them aside for a while. Whether we're talking about square or round shapes, smaller sizes were more popular. However, this is now a thing of the past, as both small and large sizes fit well on the fashion palette today, especially when it comes to Oversized models.

Gigi Hadid and Cat-Eye Sunglasses

The supermodel confidently chose the extremely feminine and elegant cat-eye shape, paired with a cool, white T-shirt.

The Cat Eye style has been popular for almost seventy years, especially among ladies. When it appeared in the eyewear fashion of the 1950s, it quickly won hearts, as it was worn by no lesser fashion icons than Grace Kelly or Marilyn Monroe.

This shape exudes elegance, success, while also having a playfulness, just like cats - it owes its name not only to its resemblance to a cat's eye but also to the behavior of cats. Its popularity can also be attributed to the fact that the Cat Eye style fits well with several face shapes, not just one.

Jennifer Aniston and Aviator Sunglasses

Some things never go out of fashion, like Ray-Ban's timeless Aviator sunglasses and seemingly the white tank top as well.

The history of pilot frames goes back a long way. In 1936, at the request of a commission, the Bausch & Lomb optical company developed the Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses for American military pilots.

The special, drop-shaped design then fulfilled expectations so well that it began to spread rapidly regardless of the original brand. Countless stars voted for such frame styles, so it was almost inevitable that after sunglasses, prescription versions of Aviator frames would also appear. By the 1970s and 1980s, this style led the trends, which was also recognized with a Fashion Awards prize in 1987.
