Tiny glasses are so last year! They had their moment, and now it’s time to retire those shades. Lucky for us, sunglasses come in many budget-friendly options, so you can easily be on trend without dipping too much into your piggy-bank.
Of course, if you’re ready to splurge, check out the trends making a splash in 2019. While some shapes might be classic on some of these, the details (like a chain!) and variety make them stand out. In other news, hexagon lenses anyone?
Check out the full line-up and stock up before you hit the beach!
Sunglasses Trend 2019: Retro Cat-Eyes

Sunglasses Trend 2019: Round and Transparent
