Sunglasses have long been a recognizable element of the style of the most influential figures in the fashion industry – sometimes even more expressive than any other item in the wardrobe. It is enough to recall Karl Lagerfeld, who is difficult to imagine without square black glasses. In 2026, the trend is set by shield sunglasses – a spectacular model with a solid lens, the popularity of which is largely attributed to Tom Ford. It was he who launched his eyewear line together with Marcolin in 2004, and models like the Bronson FT1044 with yellow lenses and a massive frame quickly became favorites of stars and set the tone for a new trend.

Phoebe Philo is also fueling the new wave of big glasses. In her debut collection for her own label, she introduced the Bombé model – massive glasses that completed every look and gave it a recognizable aesthetic.
This is the power of mask glasses: they can instantly transform even the simplest look into a spectacular one. At Celine's spring-summer 2026 show, where creative director Michael Ryder acted, oversized models with orange lenses became the central accent of the collection, easily transforming a jacket and jeans into an it-girl look. In the Joseph autumn-winter 2026/2027 collection, massive glasses with “insect-like” lenses added a disco mood to minimalist outfits with a reference to the 1970s and the space age.
