Gone are the days when you would wear a pair of black or tinted aviators with every outfit, and call it look! Come on, your shades don’t have to be shady 😉
Agree or not, a pair of “The New Cool” sunglasses can make or break a solid look.
From celebrities, to runway, from streetwear to magazines, we have been seeing sunglasses dominate the fashion universe and we’re so in for it. We asked content creators and influencers what their favourite trending sunnies were, and we curated a chic list of 5 must haves — so you can channel the baddie inside you and also be kinder to your eyes.
So, grab a notepad and a pen so you can write down everything that needs to be added to your cart, right now!
1. A classic cat-eye magic
Ever heard of “being mysterious while being cute”? Well, the classic cat eye sunglasses do just the thing! For day outs, picnic dates or even a party at your favourite club – the cat eye sunglasses add the perfect hint of high-fashion editorial vibe to every occasion. Pair these with a basic plain tee and flared denim, or go for a solid black mini dress with bold accessories, or wear a cute chequered dress with these sunnies. Remember how Margot Robbie did it Barbie-style?
2. The Geometric frame drama
Now these take home the prize when it comes to adding drama and making a style statement. Geometric frames look their best when opted in colour so you can effortlessly pull off a sexy look. We bring you 2 ways you can style these the best:
1. Go for a monotone look, say, orange swimsuit, with loose cargos in brown and chunky gold bracelet in one hand and finally your orange tinted square frames.
Or 2. You can go for a more formal yet out-of-office on a coffee run vibe — style a white tank, with black oversized trousers and a blazer, accessorise with a headband or head scarf and pull off tinted green or orange geometric frames to add a pop of colour.
3. Wrap it around like your life depends on it
What is better than hiding your eyes? Hiding your entire eye line, from left to right! No, but for real, the wrap around glasses have been making quite a buzz and celebrities have been papped wearing these biggies like a statement. What is the best thing about these? Apart from the fact that these can make you feel comfy yet like a video game character, these sunglasses are an absolute unisex fashion game changer. These gender neutral sunglasses can be worn by everyone on multiple occasions! Buy a pair of wrap around glasses, preferably black or silver and rock it on a party look, going to uni, coffee dates, fun lil photoshoot or anywhere!
4. Neon is “The New Cool”
Listen before you miss it! Netizens and Payppy believe in the power of neons. Life is too short to be running in a boring, generic monotonous vibe. The new cool fashion is about adding colours and owning them. We understand it is a huge deal when you’re just starting to experiment with colours, but we’re here to help! If you are someone who wears basic outfits, more like the staple neutrals, blacks, whites, beiges, peach and blues — introduce a hint of personality with coloured, tinted and jewelled fancy sunglasses.
5. Step into the future:
Who wants to live in the FOMO, when you can simply tap into the future of eyewear fashion? Loewe and many such brands are headed towards bringing back the Y2K sunglasses trend and making it sci-fi, futuristic, polarised and like never seen before! This is for everyone who wants to be the talk of the town and be gushed about when you pass by. One styling tip? Try pairing these sunglasses with sleek back hair, and if you have shorter hair, gel them back , to make your futuristic sunnies the main character. And if possible, always keep your outfit either in the colour palette of the glasses or go with a basic muted wardrobe.
