# Chic Collapsible Sunnies The Garret Leight Van Buren Folding Sunglasses Have a Lightweight Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-02-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-sunglasses References: [odditymall](http://odditymall.com/van-buren-collapsible-sunglasses) & [garrettleight](http://www.garrettleight.com/sunglasses/van-buren-sun/?130=199&131=183) Although folding sunglasses have a reputation for being a little on the utilitarian side, the Garret Leight Van Buren sunglasses are far from this. Featuring a collapsible style aesthetic that enables the glasses to become minuscule in size, the Garret Leight Van Buren sunglasses are unisex in design for more fluid adoption. While nearly all sunglasses on the market have a rounded set of lenses, the Garret Leight Van Buren sunglasses sunglasses have a flat aesthetic to make the folding process more enhanced. The minimal, lightweight style enables users to place the folding sunglasses in a variety of places that traditional sunglasses would otherwise be damaged or broken. The Garret Leight Van Buren sunglasses can be purchased in different lens tints to suit different style preferences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collapsible Sunglasses:** The trend of collapsible sunglasses provides an opportunity for innovative design and convenience in eyewear. - **Unisex Design:** The rise of unisex sunglasses allows for more inclusive and versatile fashion choices. - **Enhanced Folding Process:** Improving the folding mechanism of sunglasses opens the door for more compact and portable eyewear options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Eyewear:** The eyewear industry can leverage the trend of collapsible sunglasses to create innovative and space-saving products. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the unisex sunglasses trend by offering more inclusive and gender-neutral designs. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore ways to improve the folding process of sunglasses, creating new possibilities for lightweight and compact products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Practical Stylish Foldable Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/editions-pliables.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Wooden Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delray-se-sunglasses.md) - [IR-Blocking Sleek Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kolari-shades.md) - [Collaborative Summertime Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jins-x-snow-peak.md) - [Classic Sporty Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vallon-daytrippers.md) - [Hybrid Cyclist Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunski-velo.md) - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [Laidback Fashion Brand Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-sunglasses.md) - [Elevated Overzied Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-vintage.md)
