When it comes to sunglasses this season, subtlety is out and unapologetic attitude is in. The question isn’t do they suit my face shape it’s do they make an entrance? If your sunnies don’t stop traffic, cause a double take, or spark an unsolicited compliment at brunch, you’re doing it wrong.

Statement sunglasses are the ultimate outfit elevator. You could be in a plain white tee and yesterday’s jeans, but throw on a pair of bold, borderline obnoxious frames and suddenly you’re giving fashion editor on an espresso run. Think shield shapes, tinted lenses, jewel embellishments, or ‘90s nostalgia in XL form.

From Loewe’s bug-eyed lenses to Balenciaga’s futuristic visors, big personality shades are having a moment. So next time you’re shopping for sunglasses, ask yourself: Are these fabulous or forgettable?

Go bold or go home!
