There’s something to be said about a good pair of designer sunglasses. When it comes to eyewear, there’s no denying that quality is key, especially when it comes to protecting your eyes from strong UV rays while adding a touch of style to any outfit. That’s where Vivienne Westwood comes in. Its 2025 Sun collection perfectly blends quality, style, and eye protection with an elegant and timeless charm that the fashion house is known for, and which it nails every single time.
This latest collection is a nod to vintage styles, with Baroque-inspired frames and intricate embellishments; the 2025 Sun collection is a true testament to the fashion house’s dedication to artistry. There are statement sunglasses in striking acid pink and yellow, or more classic colours such as black, white and silver, and mottled brown tortoiseshell; the collection manages to be both a traditional and contemporary take on summer eyewear. It's just the thing to finish any outfit, whether you're on your morning coffee run in your favourite denim or enjoying more Mediterranean climes on holiday.
Of course, as with previous collections, the iconic Westwood orb features throughout—typically on the hinge or embossed into the metalwork. A standout piece? The Soo sunglasses. Inspired by the Gold Label Autumn-Winter 2004 Exhibition ‘Horns’ headwear, the exaggerated frame is adorned with Swarovski crystals and finished with the signature orb, making it a true statement in the collection.
But the Soo isn’t the only unique style in the collection. The Sunday makes a statement with its oversized shape and lenses, featuring distinctive Baroque artwork by François Boucher (1703–1770); The Reed updates a timeless tortoiseshell silhouette with refined, custom metal accents, and the Balmoral channels old-school elegance, its frame finished with signature orb-embellished detailing.
So, whether you're planning a trip away where a pair of great quality sunglasses are a suitcase essential, or just want to add a touch of vintage-style glamour to your accessory collection, it's worth bookmarking the Sun collection. These are sunglasses, but not as you know them – they're essentially works of art in their own right.
