Even though sunnies have become a year round stylish staple, this is usually the time of year when many of us go on a vision quest for new frames. And since sunglasses had a major moment on the spring/summer runways, I did a little homework for you. So, if you don’t like to be kept in the shade on the latest trends, keep in mind that there is a retro feel to nearly every eyewear trend out there--and quite a few are unisex...

Lets kick off with something for the guys. Want something a little more modern JFK than Will.i.am?

Or log on to WarbyParker.com for a $95 pair, which include polarized lenses. And when you make a purchase they give a pair to someone in need. Nice. 

Prada showed its take on traditional horn-rimmed shades, which you can always find in the less-pricey Ray-Ban variety.

Yeah, even Maverick and Goose would be surprised to know that aviators have secured a solid foothold – but at the moment the focus is on exaggerated aviators like these. And, yep, Carreras have found their way back into our collections:

It doesn’t get any more retro than the cat eye….

White hot frames are très très chic, like these on the Dries van Noten Spring 2012 Runway….

Get your '80s-inspired update, which always means something’s been oversized….

Now it's your turn: Who makes your favorite sunnies? And which of these shapes will you be trying out this summer? Leave a comment and let me know!
