Men's sunglasses

There’s no summer fashion without sunglasses, unmissable pieces to protect the eyes from the hot sun, but also to give a touch of glamour to day outfits, both sporty, casual and elegant. Among the most popular accessories, the sunglasses of spring summer 2024 underline the face shape with particular frames, a retro-taste mood and a touch of color.

Colored lenses and hi-tech frames for sunglasses dedicated to the fans of unique and special objects

If until a few years ago, sunglasses were considered only as necessary objects to bring with us for the days spent under the sun and especially on the beach, now they become true collectable objects of desire. There are so many possibilities that the most avant-garde designers try to create even more trendy models, experimenting with innovative shapes and technological materials. Among the most minimalist, but highly performing and extremely beautiful, there are those frameless with a central bar and amber lenses created by Dior, those decorated with small studs designed by Versace and the partially framed version of Moscot. This kind of model is particularly light and perfect for who wants a sophisticated look. For who loves special and creative shapes, there are the rectangular models by Mykita and Les Specs. One of the most technologically advanced innovations is that of the new lenses printed with holographic effect logo, as in the case of Gucci and Fendi, or those with iridescent mirroring lenses proposed by Dior. Sporty fashion also influences this accessory and many designers brought to the men's catwalks sunglasses inspired by sport, especially cycling and skiing, with mask-like shapes that protect very well the eyes wrapping most of the face. The cyclist-style ones were in the Kenzo, Vetements and Mykita fashion shows, with colored frames and shaded lenses, while at Prada the lenses are iridescent. Perfect for skiing, but also for the typical summer water sports or even just for being trendy, there are the big mask sunglasses proposed by Balenciaga and Oakley, while Moncler adds side protections to its round frames, making its models even more special and innovative.
