STYLE

Sunglasses are the *ultimate* go-to accessory for, well, basically any time of year. Not to mention that they totally give us cool girl energy. This year, it's all about bringing it back to the age of mini skirts, bedazzled logos and all things Juicy Couture—to the Y2K girlies out there, this is your time to shine. Think of us as your sunglasses trend forecaster, because we have all the deets on the ultimate sunnies to invest in this season.

Wrap sunglasses

@laurenwolfe

Perhaps the very definition of Y2K, wrap sunglasses are here, and we could *not* be happier. With shield frames that wrap around, we are especially obsessed with ones that feature cute detailing and bling on the sides. The large lenses are bold, make a statement and are very much Paris Hilton core. 

Shop the trend: Check out Urban Outfitters' Mimi Butterfly Shield Sunglasses ($18) for wrap sunglasses with butterfly embellishments or Amazon's Verdster Sunglasses ($24) for a more classic style.

Oval-shaped

@matildadjerf

Chunky clout goggles are *so* 2015—meet the new and improved oval-shaped sunnies. These are sleek, polished and have thin rims to match the skinny silhouette. Another plus is that they can be dressed up or down and pair well with any outfit. 

Shop the trend: We love these retro pieces from Amazon and Giant Vintage. 

Gas station sunglasses

@sydney_melman

You either hate 'em or love 'em. There's no in-between. Since the sporty look is in right now, so are gas station sunglasses (P.S. your dad might even own a pair!). Go for the basic clear lens or reflective for a flashy look—either way, we are weirdly loving it. 

Shop the trend: These $24 Amazon sunnies come with interchangeable lenses to coordinate with any look.

Rectangle-shaped

@isaasung

If you're on the hunt for casual sunglasses, these rectangle sunnies are great for everyday wear. Whether you're going on a shopping spree or to an outdoor hangout with your besties, these will be your new go-to. 

Shop the trend: Check out Amazon or Princess Polly for some basic rectangle sunnies. 

Clear, colored lenses

@francescaaiello

Want to stand out and really add that pop of color to your outfit? Well, colored lenses do just that! Recently, sheer tinted lenses have been spotted everywhere with different shades from rosy pink to yellow and baby blue. 

Shop the trend: You can find a ton of retro sunglasses from Lexxola and Giant Vintage like these Jordy ($250) and Keytar Orange Sports Sunglasses ($28) pairs.
