9 popular Garrett Leight sunglasses of 2025
Eyewear tended towards the extremes in 2025, with many designers showcasing either bold acetate frames with an oversize silhouette or understated, minimalist frames. Colour was big this year too, with both frames and lenses boasting standout shades. As a brand with its finger continually on the fashion pulse, Garret Leight has offered up sunglasses to suit a variety of styles in 2025. Here are nine of the designer’s most popular frames from the past year.
1. Wilson M Sun
Metallic frames with an understated aesthetic remained popular among those looking for a sophisticated and chic accessory for their summer style. The Wilson M Sun delivered not only elegance, but also a choice of colourways to suit every preference.
2. Sierra Sun
With its retro cat-eye shape, softly curved bevels and charming colourways, the Sierra Sun proved that bold is beautiful in 2025. This frame was the perfect fit for those with a penchant for bright colours, statement pieces and head-turning aesthetics.
3. Agnes Sun
In line with the oversize trend, the fashion-forward flocked to buy Garrett Leight Agnes Sun this year. This bestseller’s retro-inspired 1970s square acetate frame enhanced bold, feminine looks and added charm with gradient lenses in hues ranging from Blue Tide to Amaretto.
4. Julien Sun
Similarly bold, the Julien Sun draws on 1960s fashion, blending vintage charm with contemporary flair to create a playful and jaunty aesthetic. With lens colours including Blackberry, Plum Gradient and Sapphire Gradient, this frame brought a cheerful touch to many a Garrett eyewear fan’s outfit, proving popular throughout the summer.
5. Brooks Sun
A timeless classic, the Brooks Sun is a beloved frame of celebrities and trendsetters alike. Previously spotted on the noses of Bruno Mars, Niall Horan and Noel Gallagher, this model from GLCO’s original collection remained popular with those seeking effortless style and everyday durability.
6. Van Buren II Sun
GLCO took minimalism to a new level with the Van Buren II Sun, a reinvention of the aviator with a single top bar and lightweight metal frame. The absence of a nose bridge tapped into the desire for long-lasting comfort - perfect for long summer days soaking up the sun.
7. Bentley Sun
Tailored for wide faces, the Bentley Sun has been a popular oversize frame in 2025. The masculine silhouette complemented the relaxed tailoring and ‘90s revival styles of the summer, and with a wide variety of colourways, there was a shade to suit every preference.
8. Sherwood Sun
With its compact, tailored square frame and ‘50s-inspired design, the Sherwood Sun was a favourite with those who embraced retro luxury this year. Unlabelled vintage pieces were the ultimate status symbol, and this frame proved the perfect accessory to complement them.
9. Ace Sun
Bold hues and textured fabrics created a striking aesthetic this year, so it’s no surprise that the Ace Sun was a bestseller. With its square silhouette, refined details and tinted lenses, this frame epitomised the sense of whimsy and nostalgia that enveloped the UK in 2025.
