Nothing oozes a cool factor like a unique pair of sunnies or glasses. Similar to the perfect leather jacket, eyewear has the ability to give your outfit personality without trying too hard. So what styles should you be on the lookout for in 2018? Look no further—we're showing you here.
While mirrored lenses and clear frames were trending in 2017, the New Year brings us a step further in the direction of daring. Think sci-fi and futuristic vibes à la The Matrix. Geometric shapes, clear frames, gold accents, and tinted lenses in cool colors were all over last season's runways. But to pull off a bold pair of glasses, you'll need to be ready to stand out. Want to see which styles will transform your look this season? We've rounded up the most sophisticated eyewear trends of 2018 to help you freshen up your accessories collection.
