Just one accessory can change your whole look in a few seconds — yes, sunglasses. Despite their small size, they have impressive power. They can add restraint, make outfits bolder, or emphasize elegance.

In fact, a well-chosen frame can serve as a stylish accent for any wardrobe, writes Elle.

2025 was marked by minimalism: transparent glasses, light shapes, geek chic aesthetics, rounded MiuMiu silhouettes, and classic aviators were trending. However, fashion does not tolerate stagnation. In 2026, leading brands are showcasing a completely different style — one that is loud, bold, and almost theatrical.

What glasses are worth paying attention to in 2026

XXL glasses appeared on the SS26 catwalks, and they will become a key detail next year. Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Victoria Beckham, Loewe all presented their own vision of the maximum shape.

From the outside, such glasses may seem like a pure catwalk accessory, but their practicality is often underestimated. The right shape can work perfectly in everyday looks.

  • For a round face, clear rectangles that balance the features are suitable.
  • For a square face, soft rounded models will suit best.
  • Experimental options such as triangular or futuristic ones will be a great choice for those who like a modern, distinctive style.

The advantage of such glasses is that they make an outfit look complete, even when it's as simple as possible. A sweater, jeans, and a coat exude confidence in every movement. The massive frame adds structure and makes the combination look more expensive and expressive.
