How to embrace a nineties look with rectangular sunglasses
After aviator sunglasses, sporty designs, and oversized frames, Numéro has selected 13 pairs of rectangular sunglasses that are perfectly designed to tap into the trend set to define our summer.

Why we love rectangular sunglasses
Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid in vintage Chanel, Jennifer Lawrence in Oliver Peoples at the Die My Love photocall during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival… Many celebrities are confirming the return of the rectangular sunglasses trend.
Characterized by ultra-thin metal frames and often smoky rectangular lenses, this type of eyewear that major fashion houses have championed, such as Miu Miu during its memorable in the Fall/Winter 2025-2026 show, is part of the much-talked-about revival of 1990s and 2000s silhouettes.
With strong Y2K vibes at Gucci and Gentle Monster, rectangular frames proudly channel that vintage flair. While some brands, like Ray-Ban and Cartier, dare to ornament their creations with blue or purple lenses, others take a more understated route, such as luxury eyewear label Dunhill.
In short, if you want to spend the summer embodying Keanu Reeves in The Matrix (1999), the message is clear: pick your favorite pair and make them yours right now.
