(SPOT.ph) Sunglasses are a summer staple—not only do they add a laid-back, effortlessly cool touch to your look, they also protect your peepers from the harsh light of the sun. We round up 10 pairs that both guys and gals can rock this summer. We spotted trends like '90s-inspired silhouettes, translucent lenses in fun colors, and even futuristic shapes.
Take your pick from these sunglasses for every style and budget:
Rex (P499) from Sunnies Studios
If you love chunky sneakers, chunky sunglasses might also be up your alley. These ones from Sunnies Studios have a cool '80s-inspired frame that almost resembles scuba goggles—they’ll pair great with your athleisure looks. Plus, the big frame will give your eyes enough protection.

The Oval Double Bridge (P10,990) from Ray Ban
If you're looking for something a little less angular, you might like this vintage-meets-modern pair from Ray Ban which features a rounder shape and a bridge in the center for a retro-but-edgy vibe. Their geek-chic effect will make your look extra sharp.
Available at Vision Express, Eye Society, authorized department stores, and other optical stores nationwide.
Sunglasses (P1,695) from Zara
These half-moon-shaped sunglasses from Zara have a robot-slash-electro vibe to them—think Daft Punk. The design features a thick lining all around the lenses except for the top, lending them a unique fashion-forward look. Plus, they’ve got extra-dark lenses for no-nonsense sun protection.

Gun-Colored Sunglasses (P2,990) from Owndays
It looks like ultra-narrow, '90s-inspired lenses are back and here to stay. Rock the look with this pair from Owndays to add an effortlessly chic touch to your entire get-up. Complete your OOTD with other pieces inspired by the late nineties and early aughts like graphic tees, track pants, fanny packs, or a bucket hat.

Tinted Lens Sunglasses (P995) from Bershka
If you’re loyal to the frames-bigger-than-your-face look, you might like this pair from Bershka, which remind us of old school 3D glasses. We love the geometric shape and translucent yellow-orange frames. Even though it's a trendy piece, lots of face shapes will be able to pull it off.

Sunglasses (P499) from H&M
These sunnies from H&M have a square frame that vintage fashion lovers will enjoy, but with a small bridge above the nose area for a more modern twist. You'll love pairing them with retro pieces like leather jackets and worn-out jeans.

For an edgy-but-subtle vibe, try this pair from Stradivarius. Its sleek metal frame and dark lenses will have you looking like a stylish secret agent—perfect if you're going for a mysterious look.

The Bermuda Sunglasses (P1,566) from Prive Revaux
Go all-out edgy with these lenses from Prive Revaux. They’ve got a zany triangular shape that might remind you of alien eyes—not for the faint at heart, but much more wearable than they first appear. The bright white frames will look great on any skin tone—especially if you’re rocking a fresh summer tan!
Available online.
BE3107 Sunglasses (P10,800) from Burberry
If you’ve been itching (but are too intimidated) to rock a pair of sunnies with that trendy bridge across the forehead, try this pair from Burberry. The ultra-thin bridge won’t crowd your face and it even gives the pair a futuristic touch. They come in a dark moss-green shade, but we’re also eyeing the reflective silver shade.
Available at Vision Express, Eye Society, authorized department stores, and other optical stores nationwide.
Sunglasses (P22,990) from Dolce & Gabbana
These sunglasses from Dolce & Gabbana sport a shape reminiscent of classic rounded-square frames, but with a slightly extended outer corner (almost like a cat eye) that’ll just subtly elongate your face for a sleek look. And while the design is flattering on plenty of face shapes, it suits those with round faces best.
Available at Vision Express, Eye Society, authorized department stores, and other optical stores nationwide.
