A new year and sunny skies ahead -- January doesn't get much better than this. Inspired by the summery weather, we thought we'd round up a few of our favorite on-trend sunglasses.

With interesting lines and geometric shapes, modern architectural eyewear is a great alternative to the classic round and oval frames you've worn for years. As big and boxy as they may be, these frames are flattering, and add a subtle dose of edginess to every outfit.
