Men’s Fashion Week Inspirations: Sunglasses Trends as Seen on the Runway

The latest men’s fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, and Copenhagen set the stage for sunglasses trends that put a refreshing spin on sophistication and edginess. From timeless elegance to futuristic innovation, this season’s shades were all about making style waves.

Paris Fashion Week: Sleek & Minimalist

Paris Fashion Week embraced understated luxury, with Saint Laurent leading the way in refined, ultra-slim frames. The collection showcased dark, angular sunglasses that exuded effortless cool, complementing sharp, monochrome tailoring. Prada, on the other hand, put forth geometric lenses with a futuristic touch, making for the perfect blend of minimal and avant-garde. The overarching trend? Sleek silhouettes in classic black and tortoiseshell, perfect for the modern gentleman.

Milan Fashion Week: Vintage Glamour Meets Bold Statements

Over in Milan, eyewear took a bolder turn with oversized frames and retro influences. Giorgio Armani stayed true to his Italian heritage, presenting aviators with softly tinted lenses and lightweight metal structures, offering timeless European elegance. Meanwhile, Dolce & Gabbana revived old Hollywood charm with thick acetate frames in rich caramel and deep burgundy (the colors of the moment), evoking a vintage appeal.

Copenhagen Fashion Week: Sporty & Futuristic

On the Scandi side, Copenhagen Fashion Week focused less on the “hygge” aesthetic they’re renowned for and channeled eyewear with sporty, high-performance designs. Prada showcased oversized wraparound frames with mirrored lenses, blending fashion with function. But, that’s not to say that the Nordic influence wasn’t evident in the emphasis on practicality: sleek, aerodynamic sunglasses designed for both urban and outdoor settings. This season, the Danish runways made a strong case for performance-driven eyewear that doesn't compromise on style.
