Scroll on to view all of our favorite SS19 sunglasses.
Square Frames
Angular, square frames are a classic that will always have a place in the steezy shades game. Adding a chic touch to any fit, this shape is best loved for its suitability to a diverse range of face shapes, and fortunately enough, the more experimental, fashion-forward trends haven't stopped some of our favorite labels from producing some four-point masterpieces.
Rectangular & Oval Frames
Much like recent years, smaller rectangular and oval frames remain the shape of choice for some of fashion's most in-the-know. Taking a page from ’90s and early ’00s style, these uber-slim frames may not provide as much coverage or UV protection as a pair of sporty Oakleys, but they're guaranteed to give you that "they know's what's up" vibe.
A Little Extra
If you're looking for eyewear to match your personality, a pair of "extra" sunglasses could be exactly what you need. Whether you're into uber-thin, retro-style sunglasses or futuristic shades that'll make you look like you're living in 3024, boutique sunglasses brands are killing the statement shades game right now.
Sports Sunglasses
Cycling and sports-optimized sunglasses emerged as a huge trend, but past output's shown that they were merely in first gear. Leading the trend so far are a slew of boutique, high-end cycling brands, along with luxury labels who have included their own version of the goggles in their latest shoppable collections.
