Color is taking center stage in sunwear this season. Blending chic looks with practicality, today’s lenses are going far beyond the traditional colors and concentrations with fresh hues and intriguing gradients.

Moving through winter into spring, catch the rainbow with the following sun lens trends.

CONCENTRATED MIRRORS. Super-reflecting sunglasses go beyond the lifeguard stand and to the streets, either with the traditional silver sparkle or with mirrored color tints from red to green to violet.

GRAND GRADIENTS. Either subtle shifts in shade or dramatic lens color block, lens tints are going ombre.

HOT HUES. Bursting through the traditional gray and amber tints, sun lenses are getting jacked up with purple and blue leading the cool pack.

RENEWED TRADITIONS. The grand old green tint just got reborn in the ongoing retro renewal, particularly in styles with keyhole bridges and sporty looks. EB
