Wraparound Sunglasses Are Summer 2022’s Hottest Eyewear Trend

The sunglasses trend that’s taking over right now? Sporty wraparounds. I’ve been seeing them all over my feed this summer, plus on the faces of celebs and influencers alike. The futuristic style — which you could call alien shades — is having a major moment this summer. They’ve gotten so popular over the last couple of months that they’ll likely be even bigger for fall (UV protection knows no season!).

While once an “ugly” trend reserved for golf dads, frat bros, and dudes with a truck as their profile pic, the style is now a must for the most fashionable. Everyone — from fashion girls like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Emma Chamberlain to pop stars such as Justin Bieber and Dua Lipa — has adopted the Zenon-esque accessory.

Prior to becoming fashionable, the frames were mostly worn by sports enthusiasts because they offer enhanced visibility thanks to their wraparound shape. Designed to hug the contours of your face, they offer peripheral coverage, keeping the sun’s glare out from all angles of your visual field.

So, not only are these performance-style shades cool and edgy, they’re functional too — hence why the Kardashians are always wearing them to the beach, and stars like Megan Thee Stallion rock them on stage.

With this in mind, I scanned the good ole interweb to bring you some of the best wraparound sunglasses on the market, from brands including Nike, Lexxola, Gentle Monster, and more. Go ahead, pick your fave.
