The 3 Big Eyewear Trends I'm Personally Endorsing This Season

I'll never forget the look on my fiancé's face as he watched me carry an oversized tray piled with many, many sunglasses into our new apartment when we moved earlier this

year. (We have, um, very little storage space. But hey, I won't apologize for my love of sunnies!) I've tried all of the trendy pairs throughout the years, some of which I still own and wear on the regular while others have made their way into various donation bins around Los Angeles. So given my genuine love for sunglasses and all my fashion-editor knowledge, you could say I'm pretty well qualified to hand out advice on the matter at hand.

Contrary to popular belief, sunglasses are not just a summer staple. They're a year-round must-have. Sure, I live in Los Angeles where the weather is a solid 70° and sunny most days, but any of my New York–editor counterparts would tell you the same thing. This season, there are three trendy styles that I'll definitely be adding to my ever-growing eyewear collection: cat eyes, square frames, and iconic patterns. So despite my fiance’s eye rolls, when I saw that Burberry had dropped those exact styles at Sunglass Hut (my favorite place to shop for sunnies) to celebrate its 50th anniversary, I had to check them out. Keep scrolling to see why I'm loving these trends and which pairs I'll be scooping up.
