The Most Popular Sunglass Styles Of Summer 2016

by Madison Alcedo

If there's one thing you need to buy to complete your summer essentials, it's a trendy pair of sunglasses. I've had so much #sunglassesenvy lately because these days, there are so many different styles of frames and lenses to choose from! If you're wondering where to even begin, here is a good start. The Polyvore team compiled search analytics to determine the most-searched styles of sunglasses and came up with a list of summer 2016's best sunglasses according to state. Trust me, you'll definitely want to have a pair of each of these styles!

From their data, Polyvore found that cat eye sunglasses are the top-searched specs in New York, Florida, and Maryland. In California, Texas, and Alaska, people are searching for round sunglasses. And can you guess the most-searched sunglass trend throughout the country? Mirrored sunglasses and rose gold sunglasses are the It style all over — probably thanks to every rose-colored item that are must-haves for summer (think rosé, sunsets, and rose-colored jewelry).

Rose-colored/pink lenses are so popular right now, that the amount of times "pink sunglasses" has been searched on Polyvore has increased 715 percent since this time last year! For an an even better view of what sunglasses are trending on Polyvore by state, check out this handy-dandy chart:
