The history of logos is long and storied. Brands and consumers alike adore them on their clothing and accessories.
Whether they are big and bold like Dolce & Gabbana’s approach or a simple interlocking initial like Gucci’s, the presence of logos has a stronghold on the industry. Logos have played a significant role with sunglasses in particular. They offer instant recognition and visual representation of a brand.
When you see a pair of sunglasses and the recognizable designer logo, you know you’re getting high-quality, luxurious, and stylish sunglasses.
If there is one color that was a major trend this fall on the runway, it’s oxblood. A dark, rich, moody, wine-red color that evokes power, drama, and allure and seen on the likes of Gucci, Ferragamo, Hermes, and Erdem. While the regal shade draws naturally to formal and evening looks, it makes a surprising pop of color in accessories like glasses.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, vivid red sunglasses were a summer staple, whether they had playful tinted lenses or candy apple red frames. High-gloss frames were a light and bright summer staple. While the color of the year may be peach fuzz, red will continue to be a prevalent color story in 2024 and beyond.
Saint Laurent frequently appears in EZContacts roundups for a reason—they create stunning frames. They are often chic, timeless, and stylish, embodying the brand’s edgy, elegant, and effortless ethos.
Because the brand focuses on everlasting design, Saint Laurent frames are for everybody to wear. Saint Laurent has been a leading name in designer eyewear, but they were a prominent house of fashion even before that. Originally a House of Haute Couture, Yves Saint Laurent founded his eponymous brand in 1961 – but the road to getting there wasn’t easy.
As the New York Fashion Week wraps, we have begun to see trends unfolding. With accessories like sunglasses, trends often act as overarching multi-season movements.
We can see these styles fine-tuning as the shows continue from city to city. Accessories trends reflect the larger movement of the clothes. If minimalism is happening in the apparel industry, we can expect to see a round of minimalist glasses trends come our way as well.
As the Spring/Summer ‘25 shows unfold, it’s clear next year will be all about balancing personal style with real-world practicality. Expect glasses that rely heavily on the classics but with refined updates rather than never-before-seen reinventions.
Expect to see a resurgence of the ‘90s with thin, sleek sunglasses with silhouettes that barely cover the eyes. Racer, sports-inspired utility sunglasses are still in fast effect, combining metal frames with tinted reflective lenses and frameless styles. On the other end of the spectrum, chunky, playful, and oversized frames are still wildly popular showing at the likes of Prada and Ulla Johnson. Read on for more sartorial inspiration for your 2025 sunglasses game straight from the runways.
