By covering the eyes, the most expressive part of the face, glasses change perception: they add distance, mystery and charisma. In the spring-summer 2026 season, this duality is felt especially clearly. In the trend are models with notes of nostalgia, technology and reinterpreted classics that meet the need for clear aesthetic codes. From discreet “quiet luxury” to futuristic shapes – we have collected the 6 best sunglasses that should appear in your wardrobe now.
XXL glasses
Exaggerated proportions and a massive frame replace the delicacy of thin metal, giving the look a tangible strength. At a time when minimalism no longer equals inconspicuousness, such glasses form a new elegance – confident and decisive. They become a key accent of the look and rhyme with the trend for hyperbolized silhouettes – from sharply tailored suits to structured coats.

Futuristic mask glasses
Goggles are once again resurfacing as a symbol of our fascination with the future. Their late 20th and early 21st century science fiction-inspired aesthetic blurs the line between fashion and technology. Like technical fabrics or aerodynamic silhouettes, these futuristic designs work as a projection of the desire to become faster and more resilient.
“Matrix” style glasses are a new classic
What once seemed radical has now become canon. Narrow, pointed models in the style of “The Matrix” no longer seem like a niche reference – they have become a base. Their longevity confirms how pop culture constantly reinterprets the concept of classics. Like a leather jacket or a trench coat, these glasses have gone from provocation to wardrobe norm.
“Dad's” glasses: rectangular, dark, without unnecessary decor
Rectangular models with very dark lenses and understated frames continue to gain popularity. They refer to the functional aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s and are now making a comeback in the context of normcore and everyday fashion. They don't try to impress – and that's why they attract attention.
Always relevant classic
Wayfarer, cat-eye, round frames – classic shapes remain relevant every season. In a world of constant change, they provide stability.
Yellow lenses
Yellow lenses are one of the most exciting trends of the season. They combine aesthetics with functionality, responding to the increasingly tangible demand for reducing eye fatigue.
