Shades of Style: This Season’s Must-Have Sunglasses
July 3, 2025
Summer’s here and so is the season of sunshine, statement outfits, and, of course, a pair of fabulous sunnies. Poolside in Miami, strolling through the Outdoor Courtyard at Aventura Mall, or jet-setting to your next destination, the right pair of sunglasses is your ultimate style companion.
Aventura Mall has rounded up the season’s most eye-catching eyewear trends, highlighting five standout styles seen on runways, sidewalks, and sun-soaked getaways alike. From futuristic frames to playful tints, these are the sunglasses worth slipping on now.
Futuristic Frames
If sunglasses could time travel, these would land straight from the future. Futuristic frames are taking center stage with bold, geometric lines, oversized shields, and mirrored lenses that create a distinctly high-fashion, space-age aesthetic. These styles feel architectural and assertive, bringing a modern edge to any outfit. Whether you’re going full monochrome or mixing textures, this trend is made for those who like their accessories to speak volumes.
Why they work: These frames instantly add drama and structure, making them the focal point of any look.

A longtime classic gets a modern remix. This season’s tortoise frames lean into creative expression with unexpected color combinations, sculptural shapes, and oversized designs. Whether in rich chocolate hues or warm amber tones, tortoise frames feel both timeless and trend-aware. The result is something familiar but entirely fresh—perfect for everyday wear with just enough personality to stand out.
Why they work: They’re universally flattering, endlessly versatile, and easy to dress up or down.

Shade Throwback
The resurgence of ’90s fashion continues—and sunglasses are no exception. Slim, rectangular frames in glossy black, deep brown, or translucent finishes are a nod to minimalism with just the right amount of attitude. These styles evoke off-duty model energy and feel effortlessly cool whether paired with denim, a slip dress, or an oversized blazer. The look is sleek, nostalgic, and undeniably stylish.
Why they work: They deliver big style in a small silhouette and are perfect for adding a bit of edge to polished outfits.
