With its exclusive and luxurious appeal, the Hamptons holds a magnetic pull for seasoned visitors and newcomers alike. Specifically, individuals are drawn to its upscale restaurants, beachfront retreats, and high-end boutiques. For me, however, the real allure lies in the art of people watching. It's a delight to witness the parade of sophisticated, aspirational, and opulent outfits on display as visitors take to the streets to showcase their impeccable fashion sense.
My recent venture out east with Vogue Eyewear doubled as a mission to spot emerging trends worthy of gracing my wardrobe. Immediately, one fad caught my eye: metal-framed eyewear. This style stood out against the backdrop of the Hamptons's chic landscape, serving as a captivating testament to the area's ever-evolving fashion scene.

As I traveled from Southampton to Montauk, I noticed countless fashionable women sporting sunglasses and eyeglasses with intricately designed frames in either gold or silver. The way these particular styles marry retro aesthetics and modern sophistication provides a wide range of styling options. I saw people pairing them with wide-leg trousers, a bikini, and a straw bag for a beach day and coordinating them with a minidress, loafers, and socks for a casual gelato outing.
This emerging trend may catch some off guard, but I've closely monitored its ascent among street style influencers and celebrities. Whether it's '70s-inspired aviators like those favored by Jennifer Aniston, retro round frames like Gwyneth Paltrow's, or classic styles like those worn by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, wire-rim eyewear has, no doubt, received the stamp of approval from fashion's elite.

The pink lenses are so cute and summery. I love how they contrast the black frame.
I've seen four women with different face shapes try these on, and they looked good on each one.
When I tried on these sunglasses, I immediately fell in love with them. Their oversize fit strikes the perfect balance between being oversize and overly so, and their metal frame exudes a retro vibe. You can select from a range of lens colors, including dark green, blue, dark brown, and purple.
These sunglasses have a high-end aesthetic, but you won't have to pay the designer price. They have a nostalgic aviator style but with a modern twist of square-shaped frames. The contrast of the gold frame against the green lens is particularly striking, but there are four other equally appealing styles to consider.
If you haven't noticed yet, Vogue Eyewear has produced this style in multiple colors because it's a top seller. Shoppers can't get enough of the flattering fit, and neither can I.
This style is classic and timeless, meaning you'll have them for years to come and never get sick of them.
The preppy trend is in full swing, so it's time to embrace the eyewear trend—even if you don't wear prescription lenses.
These delicate frames are the perfect complement to champagne-hued pants and a blazer.
