For those of you who are enjoying the sunny and warm spring days, and to those who are still waiting for them to arrive (I include myself in the latter group), there is one accessory you shouldn’t be without; sunglasses! Not only do they shield your pretty eyes from the bright sunlight, but they are a fun way to add a little excitement and mystery to an outfit. There are endless varieties of types and styles to choose from, but here are some of this season’s top picks.
Round
Circular frames have been popping up more and more lately, being seen everywhere from the runways to the street and are quickly becoming one of this season’s hottest styles. With a nod to John Lennon, adding a pair of round frames to your look will immediately give you a 1960’s vibe. Metal frames with colored lenses directly reflect rockin’ groupie style while oversize acetate offers a fresh, modern take on the trend. It’s up to you to decide which way to rock these head turning shades.
Oversize
For ample sun protection and a bit of a mysterious yet glamorous flair, oversize sunnies are the way to go. Opt for square or round shaped frames for a classier look or go daring in sporty shield styles or edgy cat-eye. Stick with black or tortoise shell to subtly complement their bold size or go all out in bright colors or prints! Either way you choose, these oversize sunnies deliver oversize impacts to your outfits.
Wayfarer
These shades have made an explosive comeback and it doesn’t seem like they will be fading out anytime soon. Coming in a variety of styles from complete throwback vintage originals that have you feeling like you just stepped out of an 80’s flick, to more streamlined modern styles that still offer that retro vibe with a fresh attitude. They also come in a multitude of colors from your trusty black and tortoise shell all the way to extreme neon hues. With wayfarers, there’s no doubt they will offer you that certain cool factor.
Aviator
These reliable shades are the go-to when looking for that pair that will go with everything in your closet. They offer great protection from the sun while still looking chic. Their streamlined and simple form complements any wardrobe making these a must have for spring and summer. There are different varieties of aviators as well from traditional wire frames with light or mirror lenses to funky acetates version. These versatile shades will not disappoint!
