Oversized Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Oversized cat-eye sunglasses are making a huge comeback this summer. This classic style, which first gained popularity in the 1950s, is known for its sleek, feminine lines that accentuate the cheekbones and eyebrows. Leading ladies like Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson have been spotted donning these stylish shades, adding an air of elegance and mystery to their ensembles. Have a look at our Axel sunglasses if you are looking to join Jennifer or Scarlett. Whether you choose a tortoiseshell frame or a bold solid colour, these sunglasses are a must-have for any fashion-forward individual.

Retro Round Frames

Channel your inner John Lennon with retro round frame sunglasses. These timeless shades have an unmistakable vintage vibe that complements various face shapes. Whether you prefer a thin wire frame for a subtle look or a chunky acetate frame for a bold statement, round sunglasses are versatile and chic. Celebrities like Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have been spotted rocking these frames, effortlessly blending retro charm with modern appeal. Fancy a pair of retro round sunglasses?

Sustainable Sunglasses by Arlo Wolf

In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly fashion, and sunglasses at Arlo Wolf are no exception. Sustainable sunglasses have become a popular choice for environmentally-conscious consumers and we have long kept an eye on this important trend. The lightweight, natural material not only looks stylish but also minimises the impact on the environment. A-list actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Emma Watson have been advocates of eco-friendly fashion and are often seen sporting eco sunglasses, inspiring their fans to make more conscious choices in their style. Arlo Wolf carries sunglasses made from recycled plastic bottles and the glasses comes in plant based packaging. You can read more about our sustainable glasses here.

Mirrored Aviators

Aviators are a classic favourite, but this summer, the mirrored version is taking the spotlight. The reflective lenses not only add a futuristic edge to your look but also offer additional protection by reducing glare. Mirrored aviators have been endorsed by action stars like Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot, who appreciate their practicality and effortlessly cool appearance.

Transparent Frames

For a contemporary and chic look, transparent frame sunglasses are the way to go. These frames come in various shapes and colours, but their defining feature is the see-through effect that creates an illusion of floating lenses. This summer, celebrities like Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet have been seen embracing this trend, adding a touch of modernity to their summer attire.

Follow the Trend With No Risk

This summer, sunglasses are not just a practical accessory to protect your eyes from the sun; they are a stylish statement that complements your overall look. From oversized cat-eye frames to sustainable shades, the trends of 2023 cater to a wide range of fashion preferences.

Summer Update

As the days get shorter and the air gets crisper, you’ve probably noticed that summer is making its exit from the UK. Yep, it’s time to bid farewell to those sunny days and warm vibes though here in UK we don’t get many sunny days anyway 🙂

Summer in the UK might be short and sweet, but it sure knows how to make an impression. It’s when we hit the parks for picnics, hit the beaches for some sun-soaking, and let the good times roll. Ice cream trucks become the soundtrack of our lives, and festivals like Glastonbury and the Edinburgh Fringe keep us entertained.

But as August wrapped up, September has already knocked on the door, and it’s pretty hard to ignore. The days start getting chillier, and the nights—well, they’re downright cold. Plus, you can’t ignore those leaves changing color. It’s like nature’s way of saying, “Autumn is on its way!”

While we might miss those sunny days, autumn in the UK has its own charm. Think cozy sweaters, hot tea, and those lovely walks through crunchy leaves in the countryside.

Here at Arlo Wolf we have started our working on our list of Autumn glasses  so stay tuned.
