Colored lenses are everywhere this season, from the runways to social media. What began in the ’70s with John Lennon and Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing has grown into a trend beloved by celebrities like Jennifer Lopez in the ’90s and Bella Hadid today. Plus, social media stars like Sofia Richie and A$AP Rocky can’t get enough of them either. From yellow to blue to pink, colored lenses are way to see life through a filter—literally. And even better, for those looking at you, they add a pop of color to your getup. Gucci’s Alessandro Michele is partly to thank for the resurgence of the trend, as his collections include every color under the sun. But other eyewear brands have caught on as well, from Retrosuperfuture to Acne Studios to Gentle Monster. There are endless colors and styles to choose from. Shop the best and brightest of the colored lenses trend, here.
