This season's sunglasses are all about attitude: slim cat-eyes, gold ovals, oversized aviators and a little sparkle. Whether you're planning a Goa trip, dressing for wedding season or just want a better selfie, these are the trending shapes for women right now — with the exact Augen pairs to wear them in.
The quick answer: if you buy one pair this season, make it a slim cat-eye like the Cavelle. For holidays, go oversized with the Zayden Aviator. For a vintage vibe, try the gold Valora Oval.
Trend 1: The slim cat-eye
The cat-eye has gone sleeker. Instead of huge flicks, this season's version is narrow with gently lifted corners — it looks modern with denim and dramatic with a saree. The Cavelle (Rs. 1,099) combines a lifted PC front with slim metal temples and weighs only about 32 g. On a budget? The Velvet Cat-Eye (Rs. 599) gets you the look for less.
Style it with: a slicked-back bun, gold hoops and a red lip.
Trend 2: Gold-rimmed 70s ovals
Tiny, gold-rimmed ovals are the "quiet luxury" pick of the year. The Valora (Rs. 1,099) has a slim metal frame and comes in six colourways, including black, green, brown and clear lenses. For a softer, playful take, try the Solstice Prime Oval (Rs. 599).
Style it with: chunky silver or gold jewellery and a sleek blowout.
Trend 3: Oversized aviators
Big, bold and made for travel. Oversized aviators give you serious coverage and instant main-character energy. The Zayden (Rs. 899) has a 145 mm wide frame, UV400 lenses and gold-tone details, in eight colourways from classic black to yellow lenses on a pink frame.
Style it with: a linen co-ord set and a straw hat.
Trend 4: Geometric frames
Hexagons and soft angles add structure to softer faces and look great in candid shots. The Kyoto Hexagonal (Rs. 649) is an easy way to try the trend without going too loud.
Trend 5: Coloured lenses
Olive, amber, pink and blue lenses are replacing plain black. They're flattering, fun in photos and easy to match with your outfit. The Aurelis (Rs. 799) comes in seven colourways, including pink lenses on amber tortoise.
Trend 6: A little sparkle
Wedding season calls for embellishment. The Amora Rhinestone Cat-Eye (Rs. 899) is covered in crystals and made for mehendi mornings, haldi photos and pool parties. Wear it as your one statement accessory.
How to pick the right trend for your face
- Round face: geometric frames like the Kyoto add definition.
- Square or strong jaw: ovals like the Valora soften angles.
- Oval face: lucky you — try oversized aviators.
- Diamond face: cat-eyes like the Cavelle balance wide cheekbones.
