Though sunglasses rank low in terms of accessories, it makes a huge difference to your face, style or mood. If you love eyewear, you'll surely be excited about the fall/winter 2020-2021 sunglasses trends. Just because it gets cold outside doesn't mean that the sun disappears. Even if it's not particularly bright out where you live, a pair of fashionable sunglasses always adds to the style quotient. It still presents the best accessory for hiding your tired eyes or expressions.

The sunglasses market has exploded into stylish yet wearable shapes that combine refreshing new details with old classics, and quirky takes on trends we've seen resurface from the past. From cat-eyed to oversized ones, all the incredible styles are back with a bang this season. So, I say snag them all!

This fall season let's bet on some square shades, shall we? Because honestly, angular frames never really went out of fashion as they always had a place in the wardrobe of a street-style lover. And the best part is that they go with almost anything, from a delicate chic style to a punk rock look, they make everything seem so c-o-o-l!They're not necessarily flattering to all face shapes, but if they work for you, rock them with pride because they are one-part glam and one-part conceptual.

To be very honest, this style of sunglasses started to make a comeback in late 2018 but we will go ahead and count it on our list of super trendy sunglasses of 2020. This style of sunglasses was first seen in the early 2000s and we can bet every '90s kid is nodding their head and silently agreeing to this statement. Be it Britney Spears or Madonna, these sunglasses were the 'IT' thing for the entertainment industry, especially for pop culture.

These shades are the ones that demands to stand out in the crowd, thus we don't recommend this style of sunglasses for the light-hearted at all. In this category, every single pair of glasses is a masterpiece of its own.Microscopic sunglasses are finally giving way to the oversize shapes. Warm tones, tortoiseshell, and retro square shapes are all the details to look out for here, but really, any pair that feels like something your mom or grandma might have worn is a sure bet.

Just take look at that these work of art and tell us you don't feel that pull because we surely do!

Shield yourself

A great example of sporty eyewear is cycling ones and other sports-optimized sunglasses that we are currently witnessing on various supermodels. Though it looks more sporty, but do not worry, it goes with almost every outfit and style. Recently, fall 2020 also gave us a glimpse of some new eye gear which holds the potential of becoming a leading trend this year. The shield sunglasses at Givenchy bucked the sporty effect, and instead looked quite elegant.

Over the past few decades, this luxury designer brand has proved itself as one of the top players in the world of fashion. And trust us when we say, it doesn't seem like it plans on stopping that anytime soon.
