For some, it’s about being seen in their sunglasses. Maui Jim believes it’s also about WHAT you see. That’s why they make shades that deliver on both performance and fashion.

Take the Maui Jim “Mavericks” for instance; this modern aviator frame has the most advanced lens technology available for all-day comfort in one timelessly stylish package. It’s the kind of sunglasses you will want to wear every single day.

For the on-the-go types, we love the Maui Jim “Surf Rider”. It features patented PolarizedPlus2® lenses that virtually eliminate all glare and 100% of harmful UV rays—perfect for catching a wave, driving to work, and everything in between!

The concept of 9five™ started in the very same year in which it shares its namesake (’95). Their first sunglasses offering, however, manifested itself in 2009 with the launch of their Spring/Summer Collection.

Taking inspiration from a classic era in skateboarding, along with the counter culture that supported it, 9five draws vibe and style from the skateboarding obsessed, crate-digging niche that thrived during this golden era. Those lucky enough to have been a part will certainly see the parallels in the core of their eyewear design, as well as 9five’s drive to modernize their influences and look past what’s current.

Perhaps the most essential of all summer accessories, sunglasses are an easy way to infuse style into your entire wardrobe this season. Not only do these can’t-live-without accessories protect your eyes from the harsh summer sun, they’re a great way to update your look with minimal effort.

Here are some of our favorite sunglasses trends to look out for this summer:

Metal-rimmed aviators: This classic shape is the way to go if you want something that’s universally flattering and versatile. The Ralph RA 4076 is a great update to this style with its colored arms.

Pop colors: A pair of brightly-colored shades really keeps the focal point on your face! Check out the Ray-Ban Cats 5000.

Cat-eye frames: Taking its inspiration from retro sunglasses, these are a fashionista favorite, and for good reason! They’re super fun and whimsical. Check out the BJ268 by Betsey Johnson.

Oversized frames: No matter what the season, large sunglasses are always ultra chic. The Maui Jim Lani in Tokyo Tortoise/Maui Rose is such a classic choice. The tortoiseshell color is great year-round.

No other color evokes flirty, girly charm quite like pink. It’s the ultimate pick-me-up color if you are looking to add some feminine style. Keep in mind that there are countless different hues of pink, from bold bubble gum pink to a more subtle nude blush, so there’s a shade of pink to suit every style and skin tone.

Here are some of our top pink picks to spruce up your summer looks:

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania + Melissa Wedge in Pink: The sleek sculpted wedge adds such a playful, retro feel.

Twenty8Twelve by S. Miller Chloe slip dress: With its bold fuchsia color and lingerie-inspired silhouette, this sexy dress is bound to get hearts racing.

Vivienne Westwood Nappa Calf Small Wallet: Even your basics can rock a sassy shade of pink!

Juicy Couture Big Love sunglasses:  The utterly adorable candy pink shade and equally adorable butterfly décor make these sunglasses a must-have.
