What our best-selling sunglasses have in common<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our top-10 list tells a pretty clear story:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Black and tortoise are the go-to colors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Three-panel<\/figure>
\n

Just like eyeglasses, customers lean hard into Black<\/strong> and Tortoise<\/strong> for sunglasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They work with anything and look right in every season.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2) Iconic shapes still dominate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

The Wayfarer family<\/strong> shows up multiple times (New Wayfarer in two sizes + Wayfarer). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not an accident \u2014 these are shapes that flatter a wide range of styles and don\u2019t fall out of fashion.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Grid<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3) People are buying both premium and budget-friendly options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve got higher-ticket branded classics alongside more affordable everyday picks. That suggests a very real shopper behavior:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our Top 10 Selling Sunglass Frames of 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1) Predator 2 RB2027 (62mm) \u2014 Black \/ Matte Black<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    If you like your sunglasses to feel bold and athletic without trying too hard, the Predator 2 is the move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 62mm size gives you a bigger presence on the face, and the black\/matte-black look reads clean, modern, and ready for anything \u2014 commutes, patios, beach days, you name it.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \"Predator<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This is the kind of pair you grab when you want a dependable \u201cdefault\u201d that still looks sharp. Style it with simple basics (tee, hoodie, denim) and it instantly looks intentional. If you\u2019re building a rotation and want one pair that can anchor everything, start here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    2) Elm \u2014 Black Crystal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Elm in Black Crystal is for the person who wants classic black \u2014 but with a little more dimension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That crystal finish adds depth and a lighter visual feel than solid black, so it comes across sleek and modern instead of heavy or harsh.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \"Elm<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s an easy choice if you like clean lines and an everyday vibe that still looks elevated. Wear it with neutrals for a minimalist look, or use it to balance louder outfits. If your style leans \u201ceffortless\u201d and you want a pair you\u2019ll actually reach for daily, Elm fits the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    3) New Wayfarer RB2132 (55mm) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    The New Wayfarer is a staple for a reason: it\u2019s iconic, instantly recognizable, and works with almost any wardrobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 55mm size gives it confident coverage, and Rubber Black adds a more contemporary edge \u2014 cool, understated, and very wearable.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \"New<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This is the pair you throw on when you want to look put-together without looking like you tried. It plays perfectly with streetwear, smart casual, and weekend fits alike. If you want a silhouette that never feels \u201cout of style,\u201d this is a safe bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    4) Hyannis \u2014 Dark Tortoise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Hyannis in Dark Tortoise brings a warm, rich tone that feels timeless and a little more expressive than standard black. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Hyannis<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    If you like your sunglasses to add personality without being loud, this is the sweet spot.

    \n\n\n\n

    \"Hyannis<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    This colorway is especially flattering if you like warm palettes, lighter outfits, and a more natural aesthetic. Pair it with whites, tans, olives, and warm denim and it just clicks. If black feels too stark sometimes, Blonde Tortoise is a great alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    6) New Wayfarer RB2132 (52mm)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
