The Best Sunglasses for Women That Never, Ever Go Out Of Style

After spending far too much money on trendy sunglasses that went in and out of style before I could even wear them, I’m taking my time as I evaluate 2021’s sunglasses trends and the overall best sunglasses for women. I want to make sure my purchases stand the test of time, so I don’t end up trying to resell a pair of sunnies I barely got to wear! Luckily, there are tons of popular sunglasses for women that are as timeless as they are cute and I’ve rounded up the top five shapes below for you to reference during the search for your own perfect pair.

Right now, celebs like Bella Hadid and Emma Chamberlain are all about sleek sporty frames, but let’s be honest: like so many others, the trend will come and go. When looking at the best sunglasses for women, it’s easy to see which styles are truly timeless and which are more of an in-the-moment fad. Cat-eye, aviator, wayfarer, rounded and rectangular frames are some of the most popular sunglasses for women that are truly classic silhouettes. Investing in any of the aforementioned styles is a safe splurge, as you’re guaranteed to have them for years.

So, how to pick the best sunglasses for you? Read on for a look at the top five timeless styles and see which suits your personal style best. Are you an edgy cool-girl in love with a bold pair of aviators? A ladylike diva who prefers a cat-eye flick? A laid-back beach babe who can’t leave the house without her wayfarers? The best sunglasses for women are all equally timeless, yet completely different when it comes to aesthetics, so finding which style suits you best is key to getting a pair you’ll love for life.

Once you’re set on your style of choice, there are still tons of individual pairs to choose from, so we’ve made things easier by selecting a couple of the best sunglasses for women that align with each shape below. Take a look and just see if your future favorite sunnies aren’t on this list—spoiler alert, they probably are.
