Everything old always becomes new again in fashion. This summer, we are seeing a surge in narrow oval and rectangular acetate sunwear styles for your Gen Z and Millennial customers.

Sun lenses have become a main focus of sunwear with many designs utilizing special lens treatments. High tech and intricate details such as etchings, cutouts and beveled edges are giving lenses a starring role in sunwear.

Ultra-feminine sunwear styles continue to trend with modified CatEye and butterfly shapes taking center stage for women. Pair a pastel colorway with these feminine shapes for a chic summery look.
