Latest Sunglasses Styles for Women in 2023

Sunglasses have come a long way since their invention in the early 1900s. What started as a functional eye protector has evolved into a must-have fashion accessory. Sunglasses allow you to make a statement and express your personal style. With so many options on the market, it can be tricky to find the perfect pair. Read on to discover the latest and greatest sunglasses styles for women to rock in 2023.

A Brief History of Women's Sunglasses

Sunglasses first became popular in the 1920s and 1930s when Hollywood stars started wearing them to shield their eyes from the bright studio lights. However, sunglasses didn't really take off as a fashion accessory until the 1960s. Jackie Kennedy famously wore oversized sunglasses that covered half her face. The mod style of the era called for bold, eye-catching sunglasses.

In the 1970s, disco divas wore oversized geometric shapes and tinted lenses. The 1980s ushered in new colorful plastic frames. Trends continued to evolve in the 90s and 2000s. Nowadays, sunglasses come in every shape, size and style imaginable. From tiny lenses to supersized shields, there's a look to suit any face shape or personal aesthetic.

What's Trending Now in Women's Sunglasses

Retro Styles

Vintage-inspired frames are back in a big way. Classical silhouettes from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s are being reinvented. Cat-eye, oval, round and aviator styles are hot for 2023. These retro shapes have a nostalgic yet modern vibe.

PopShady's Eye of the Tiger cat-eye sunglasses come in four different colors and will make you look straight out of the 60s. The thick acetate frames and dark gradient lenses are tres chic.

Shield Shapes

Say goodbye to tiny sunglasses. This year, the bigger, the better. Shield shapes cover a large portion of your face for a bold look. From sporty visors to radical geometric frames, shields make a serious style statement.

PopShady's futuristic Prospect M1 wrap all the way around your face for total sun protection. The sleek matte black goes with everything. For a sportier vibe, check out their Jarvis modeled after football and baseball visors.

Colorful Frames

Neutrals are nice, but don't be afraid to break out of the black and tortoiseshell mold. Vibrant colors and prints are trending in women's sunglasses. Make a splash with frames in every hue like emerald green, bright orange and pink. Marbled, transparent and two-toned styles are also popular options.

PopShady goes bold with their minimal Animaniac Plain Jane that look like stylish neon signs. The pink gradient lenses match the pink and orange swirled frames. For a more subtle punch of color, their shield-style Lenny Festival sunglasses come in a cool transparent orange

Find the Best Frames for Your Face Shape

With so many sizes and silhouettes to pick from, how do you choose shades that complement your features? The trick is finding sunglasses that contrast and balance out your face shape. Here's a quick guide to the most flattering options for different face shapes:

Round Faces

To counterbalance round facial features, opt for squared-off sunglasses. Angular frames will make your face appear longer and slimmer.

PopShady's oversized hexagonal Nine are ideal for softening round cheeks. The flat top line draws the eye upwards. For another sharp option, go for their classic aviator-style Navi. The structured shape complements curved jawlines.

Oval Faces

Since oval faces are balanced, you have lots of shape options. But aviators and cat-eyes work especially well. Their uplifted angles enhance oval face shapes.

Play up your natural symmetry with PopShady's daring cat-eye Bellis. The high pointy ears make your face appear longer. Or try their unique heart-shaped Bubble Heart—the top rim mimics the curves of your cheekbones.

Heart Faces

To even out a heart-shaped face, opt for sunglasses with rimless bottoms. This helps widen the narrow chin area. Oversized frames also minimize a pointy chin.

Balance out a heart face with PopShady's cool semi-rimless Offshore. The round frame opens up the bottom half of your face. For all-over symmetry, rock their supersized round Monti with a colorful eye-catching frame.

Square Faces

Just like round faces, square faces look great in oval and round frames. Circular shapes soften rigid jawlines and high cheekbones.

Try PopShady's Blanco for a laidback oval look. The transparent pink frames add a subtle pop of color too. Or go bold with their vibrant blue, pink, or yellow round Loopers to play up your striking features.
