10 New Sunglasses We’ve Got Our Eyes On

What kind of sunglasses will you choose to protect your peepers?

(Not-so) Fun fact: Your eyes can get sun burnt, just like your skin. I found this out recently after getting my first eye test in years. After this warning from my optometrist, I vowed to protect my peepers. The next step? Finding a pair of sunglasses to protect my eyes that I’ll actually want to wear on the regular.

This summer, smaller sunnies have been swapped for larger-than-life styles. Gucci led the charge for oversized square frames, dropping them throughout their runway shows. These sunglasses have been found on the street style elite, but it’s not the only trend we’re contemplating.

Kim Kardashian just may have single-handedly started the sporty sunglasses trend, with pieces designed in collaboration with Carolina Lemke Berlin that look like they’ve come straight out of a Daft Punk music video. Brands like Quay Australia and Balenciaga quickly leapt on this style and have sporty sunnies in every colour of the neon rainbow.

Finally, if you love a golden embellishment and an unexpected frame shape, try the butterfly shades from Poppy Lissiman. This Aussie designer has released so many unique shapes and designs, it’s no wonder she’s taken over the fashion world. When Bella Hadid has her shades in every colour, you know you’re doing something right!

So, what sunglasses camp are you in? Scroll through the most on-trend sunglasses below and pick your eyes’ new shield.
