This fall’s trendiest sunglasses are made for adventure. Usually relegated to gas stations or Olympic athletes, sporty eyewear is fast becoming the season’s must-have.
According to global shopping platform Lyst, searches for “sports,” “wraparound,” and “rave” shades have spiked this year, thanks to Balenciaga’s trendy swift oval sunglasses, which celebs like Kim Kardashian and Alexa Demie have sported recently.
With the return of Y2K silhouettes and a push for futuristic and biker chic styles, it’s no surprise that eyewear is also leading the charge. Brands like Givenchy, Burberry, and Acne Studios have also leaned toward sportier eyewear, with celebrities like Rosalía and Hailey Bieber endorsing the trend, which usually involves a pair of oval-shaped sunglasses that look like they’ve been swept by a thrust of wind.
If you’re looking to channel this adrenaline-filled trend, here are 14 pairs of sunglasses that will do the trick.
