Top 5 Styles of Sunglasses for Women in 2025
The right sunglasses can transform your outfit from basic to chic. With summer 2025 upon us, now's the time to add sunglasses to your wardrobe. Vint & York offers a wide range of sunglasses for women, so you can rest assured you’ll find something suitable for your unique style. Here are some top styles we're seeing trend in 2025.
1. Oversized Sunglasses
These sunglasses are edgy with a hint of class and vintage. They’re suitable for anyone looking for bold eyewear as they draw attention to your face.
Women’s oversized sunglasses are also practical in the summer as they can give you more protection from UV rays by covering a more significant portion of your face than regular-sized glasses. Their size also makes them ideal for days you don’t feel like wearing much makeup.
Oversized sunglasses can be suitable for every woman's face as they come in different shapes and styles. Consider our Piazza sunglasses if you have a heart, round, oval, or oblong face shape, and our Grandiose luxury collection if you have a square face shape. The collections are handcrafted with high-quality Italian acetate, so you can rest assured these sunglasses will look good and serve you for a long time. They’re a worthwhile investment if boldness is one of your 2025 goals.
2. Angular Sunglasses
Angular sunglasses are expected to maintain popularity in the coming year, as they have a futuristic architectural appeal that’s difficult to ignore. These sunglasses are already doing their rounds, with famous trendsetters like Rihanna and Bella Hadid adding them to their impressive collections. Angular sunglasses are suitable for all face shapes but are especially popular among people with delicate facial features.
Our Coffee House and Diletta angular frames are among our most popular for sunglasses. They’re suitable for women with oval, oblong, heart, and round faces because of their sharp angles. Our sunglasses are made with premium components to guarantee maximum comfort and durability.
3. Vintage Sunglasses
Vintage sunglasses for women are popular because people enjoy classic styles. They’ve been popular for decades, with celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn wearing them back in the day and modern celebrities like Beyonce and Kendall Jenner bringing them back to the limelight. The glasses have a chic feel that can make you stand out from the crowd and accentuate your femininity.
Vint & York’s cat-eye sunglasses are the perfect vintage inspired addition to your wardrobe. The glasses have a retro appeal that can add enough mystery to your outfit to have people turn their heads. Some of our popular retro glasses include Bombshell, Primavista, and Audrey. These glasses are especially suitable for women with narrow chins and foreheads, as their width balances these features. You can dress them up with colorful outfits to make a fashion statement.

Nerdy sunglasses are making a comeback as statement pieces. They feature slightly oversized frames that can highlight your features, making you appear more attractive. As their name suggests, the glasses have a geek-chic appeal.
Vint & York can add prescription lenses to your nerdy sunglasses if you have eyesight difficulties or use regular lenses if you want the glasses to be a statement piece. We have everything ranging from casual and simple to bold and daring in our nerdy collection. Consider our Java frames for the former and the Cecile frames for the latter.

How to Choose the Right Styles of Sunglasses for Women
Our women's sunglasses can elevate your look in the coming year if you choose right. When choosing women's sunglasses styles, consider your face shape, as not all will be ideal for you. Women with oval face shapes can look good in many sunglasses since their faces are longer than they are wide.
Those with round faces would look good oversized sunglasses since they have straight lines that can balance out round features. Women with square face shapes should choose sunglasses with soft lines or no rims, as these can soften their features. Women with heart- or diamond-shaped faces could choose vintage options like cat-eye sunglasses because narrow facial features can blend well with the glasses’ wide frames. Our site provides a try-on feature that allows you to see how you’d look in different sunglasses. This feature is ideal if you’re unsure which frames would best suit your face shape.
