Sunglasses are an accessory that can be worn all year round but, as the name suggests, this time of the year they are an absolute must. Trends for women's sunglasses Spring/Summer 2019 range from the sporty to the classy, from black to coloured lenses and from big to small frames so there's sure to be one to suit your style.

Let's check out then the 10 hottest sunglasses trend for Spring/Summer 2019.

1. Shield Sunglasses

Probably one of the hottest sunglasses trends for Spring/Summer 2019 is shield sunglasses which cover a large part of the face - hence the name. After a long absence from the catwalks, they're making a big comeback with designers claiming they'll be in great demand amongst dedicated followers of fashion.

2. Sporty Sunglasses

These are the sunglasses which fit and cover a relatively large part of your face and may have a shield design but not necessarily. These are known as sports sunglasses as they look and function in a practical sense as such. If you're a sportswear fan, these sporty shades will perfectly complement your look this season.

3. Red Frames

Fiesta Red is one of the hottest trends this season and now we're seeing it take centre stage on women's sunglasses frames whatever the style. Dare to wear red frames and stand out from the crowd!

4. Patterned Frames

Moving away from solid colour frames, top designers have included patterned frames in their collection this season. Stripes, leopard print in various colours as well as animal print, military design and polka dot to name but a few.

5. Heart Frame

Heart framed sunglasses are another trend we're going to be seeing a lot of this season. With wire or plastic frames, small or big and with a variety of coloured lenses, love them or hate them, these sunglasses are sure to make an impression!

6. Butterfly Sunglasses

During fashion week, the butterfly frame appeared on many a runway. It is undoubtedly a style which will get you noticed. Will you dare to differ this season and don this edgy look?

7. Cat Eyes

Cat eye sunglasses do what they say on the tin and, I'm sure you'll agree, don't need any introduction. These shades have been around for quite some time now and it doesn't look like they're going anywhere in a hurry. It's not surprising really; cat eye sunglasses apart from face flattering, lend an overtly chic dimension to your look whatever your outfit.

8. Round Lenses

Round lenses and frames follow on in direct contrast to the aforementioned as another hot trend for Spring/Summer 2019. Ideal for women with fuller cheeks and round faces for a flattering effect.

9. Square Lenses

So from round to square - what's that I hear about squaring the circle?! So, if round's not your bag and you have a more defined face, square sunglasses are the style for you. They are totally on-trend when they are translucent but darker lenses are hot too!

10. Skinny Rectangle Sunglasses

Last but not least, skinny rectangle sunglasses are another top trend for Spring/Summer 2019. These shades are lightweight with rectangular horizontal lenses - some are cat eye shape. These glasses will lend a touch of finesse to your style and can be at times futuristic.

So there you have it - the top ten trends for women's sunglasses Spring/Summer 2019. Which style has your name on it?!
