The sunglasses fashion for summer 2022
Spring and summer 2022 is clearly all about statement sunglasses. Whether rectangular, neon or mono - the more eye-catching and extravagant, the better!
1. Slim Shades
Slim, rectangular Sunglasses are here to stay. Already very popular in the summer of 2021, these sunglasses will continue to dominate our streets in 2022! However, in a slightly different design than a year ago.
This summer they are no longer quite so small and narrow, but wider and often in chunky synthetic frames.
There are no limits to the colors of slim shades. Rectangular sunglasses in black or Havana pattern never go out of style - but for spring and summer 2022, you can also try red, blue or green frames!
Do I look good in slim sunglasses?
Slim, rectangular sunglasses look great on many people, no matter what haircut, skin tone or clothing style you have. Slim shades are particularly flattering on oval and round faces, which are visually stretched by the angular edges of the frame
2. Neon Sunglasses
The next big sunglasses trend in 2022 is even more eye-catching, especially in terms of color. Because what we'll see everywhere this summer are neon-colored sunglasses lenses in yellow, orange and pink!
The bright, almost shrill color's reflect the current trend of the 90s, which can be found not only in our sunglasses but also in our tops, dresses and trousers.
The best way to combine these colorful lenses is with rimless sunglasses, another big sunglasses trend this year!
Who wears neon sunglasses best?
Sunglasses with neon-colored lenses give each of us that certain something in summer. All that matters is that the color of our clothes doesn't clash with that of the sunglasses lenses. And if you have a healthy summer tan on your face, you can't go wrong with neon sunglasses!
3. White Sunglasses
If neon-colored sunglasses are too flashy for you, go for a white sunglasses frame. They are no less fashionable.
When combined with a wide plastic frame and a retro shape, white frames are the perfect choice. The major designers have proven it on their catwalks and celebrities have shown it in their Instagram posts.

5. Mono Lens Sunglasses and Shield Sunglasses
Mono lenses are back! The accessory that brought stars like JLo to fame is back in eyewear fashion. This year, mono lens sunglasses are more futuristic than ever. Because this season it's all about maxi lenses.
At the same time, minimal frames in Matrix style are in fashion. Having fun and playing with fashion is the name of the game.
