Love yourself some chunky, maximalist sunglasses? Then we've got good news for you, because loud sunnies are officially back on trend. The sun had set on the bold look for a while, but Stitch Fix stylist Emiko Strah tells us the accessory trend will elevate your 2025 outfits. "Bold, chunky frames are stealing the spotlight, turning sunglasses into the ultimate statement piece — rain or shine!" she shared.

We've seen so many celebrities getting in on the vibe, too. Nicole Richie wore two pairs of eye-catching sunglasses in her March Instagram carousel showing her Mardi Gras antics, while HGTV's Christina Haack sported a dark, thick-framed version in an Instagram snap with her ex-husband Ant Anstead and their son that same month. And they're not alone. Bella Hadid was also in on the maximalist aesthetic while shopping in a New York Yves Saint Laurent store in January, and two months later, Rihanna went super loud in a thick aviator-esque pair with orange lenses while out in Los Angeles. It doesn't get trendier than that.

One of the most important things to remember when wearing chunky sunglasses in 2025 is to avoid pairing them with outfits that are too loud. Though we've been observing maximalism's slow return, to keep accessories looking modern and not costume-esque, bold sunnies should be the focus of your look. "[Try] geometric frames with a sleek monochrome outfit for an effortlessly chic vibe, or [opt] for colorful frames to bring a playful pop to your everyday look," Emiko Strah recommends. To be as on-trend as our favorite celebs, SOJOS Vintage Oversized Square Sunglasses or FEISEDY Trendy Polarized Sunglasses will give you that maximalist, thick-framed vibe.

The best part of this trend is that anyone can wear it, as it isn't focused on a specific shape. That means you can tailor it to be the perfect sunglass silhouette for your face shape. It can also be adapted to your existing style and budget (try colored lenses if you love a vibrant wardrobe, or grab a designer pair if you like luxury), so you can ensure the chunky resurgence stays authentically you.
