The Sunglasses You Need This Fall

Is that the sun peeking through the dismal fall clouds? It just might be! With a combination of San Diego’s mild and often sunny weather, it may be time to invest in a new pair of shades to shield your eyes from harmful rays. Fortunately, 2017 has blessed us with endless styles, colors, shapes, and trends to choose from in the eyewear department. Find the perfect pair to compliment your face, and the sun won’t be the only thing looking hot this fall!

Contrasting colors are the name of the game for 2017, and what is a better contrast than black and white? Alice and Olivia Delancey Crystal ($375) glasses combine the oversized look with cat-eye frames. These will be best suited to a heart or round face shape. The gradient lenses are custom-dyed for all the right coverage in all the right places, offering UVA/UVB protection. 

Retro meets futuristic with the Dior reflected 63mm retro sunglasses ($550, Nordstrom). Reflective lenses offer 100% UV protection. The geometric topline and lack of nose band is a jump into forthcoming eyewear trends with a subtle hint of edginess. 

There’s no way aviators are still in style, right? Wrong! You didn’t really believe these oddly flattering frames were going anywhere fast, did you? The truth is the aviator style of specs can be becoming on certain face shapes, specifically oval and square. Due to high demand, they remain a staple among an abundance of eyewear styles. These Dior Split Sunglasses ($550, Nordstrom) in Silver & Sky Blue introduce us to a gorgeous contrast of colored lenses. The mirrored lenses provide 100% UV protection, proving ther are well worthy of the investment.

You’re a walking work of art––why not say it loud and proud with a pair of Dolce & Gabbana Flowers and Lace Collection glasses (exclusively available in Dolce & Gabbana Boutique). These cat eye, butterfly frame hybrids are recognizably a statement piece, and what better year to make a statement than 2017? Romantic white roses, Sicilian lace, and Swarovski crystals will be the focal point of this limited edition accessory. Available in several color variations, they are the perfect sparkling pair for the daring woman.  

Combining several hot trends (oversized clear frames and see-through lenses) these Chloe 62mm sunglasses ($376, Nordstrom) shouldn’t be passed by. You can’t go wrong with a shade that embodies so many fashion forward attributes for a stunning finish. The gradient lenses are 100% UV protected for optimal eye care. 

The Illesteva Leonard II Mirrored Shield Sunglesses ($190, Bloomingdales) unite for a collection of several key styles for 2017. Both mirrored and boldly-colored lenses plus slender arms and a raised nose line come together for one super-hot pair of shades! Who knew rocking a bold color could be so sleek? The shape of the frame is fairly universal in determining which face shape corresponds best.  

Boho-chic style will continue well into 2017. Round-shaped frames scream festival season, and these limited edition MAMBO collection shades (Exclusively available at DG Boutique) should be worn as such. The MAMBO collection was built entirely on shameless feelings of joy, dance, and celebration within a tropical climate. That’s exactly the sense one gets when they catch a glimpse of the Swarovski diamond-cut colored crystals and round framework. This shape is best suited to square facial structure, however as fashion progresses, you may be encouraged to try out a round frame regardless of face shape.
