Faces are like art, they deserve a gorgeous frame. Now that Spring has well & truly arrived, it’s time to check out the latest trends in sunglasses. I always turn to my Instagram feed for inspiration on what to buy. There are so many styles to choose from be it aviator, wayfarer, oval or cat eye. However, it’s always wise to invest in a pair of shades that are not only stylish but suit your face shape. It’s worth taking your time & experimenting with different styles to find the one that suits you.
The hottest brands on Instagram currently are Junkyard (Swedish), & Dillards (Australian). As a Brand Ambassador for the Sunglass Galleria, I highly recommend their brand. I bought a pair of fifties-style, vintage cat-eye shades last November that I can’t wait to wear this season. Get 25% off with code SAVE25 on the first pair you purchase which also includes free worldwide shipping! Keep reading to see my pick of the hottest trends in sunglasses for S/S ’19:
1. Vans Dunville Sunglasses
Most fashionistas are aware that Vans Off the Wall are a shoe brand but the good news is that they also do sunglasses. These oval shaped sunglasses with 100% UV protection come with a cheetah tortoiseshell frame. The pricetag is a very affordable €19.95 & can be ordered directly online from Junkyard.
2. Quay Australia Zeus Sunglasses
If you love simplicity & comfort in your sunglasses, try these plastic wayfarer frames in rose gold (€56.94). They are perfect for a small face as they don’t look oversized when you put them on. Available to buy online from Dillards.
3. Luna Leopard Frame Sunglasses
If you’re looking for some sexy sunglasses that will make a statement this season, look no further than the Sunglass Galleria. Look as glamorous & chic as Brigitte Bardot or Audrey Hepburn with these vintage, fifties-style cat eye frames (€35.62). The frames also come in a wide range of other colours including black, white & red. Take advantage of the free worldwide shipping.
4. Wooden Aviator Sunglasses
If you’re looking for a more eco friendly & affordable brand, Etsy stock these Wooden Aviator unisex sunglasses (€14.06 with free delivery to Ireland). You can get them personalised & they come with optional bamboo sunglasses box. It’s the ideal gift for either groomsmen or bridesmaids! These can be made to order & shipped to you within 3-7 business days.
5. Original Wayfarer Classic Sunglasses
You can’t beat a classic pair of Ray Bans as they are the most iconic & recognizable sunglasses brand in the world. Since its initial design in 1952, Wayfarer Classics gained popularity among celebrities, musicians, artists and those with an impeccable fashion sense. You will always pay more for an authentic pair of Ray Bans, but they are so worth it. These classic black frames here are €142 & are available to order directly from Ray Ban.
There’s such a wide range of trendy & affordable sunglasses available for S/S ’19. Like I always say, you can never own too many shades. So now that the sun’s out, get you glares on!
Great ideas, love the wooden ones! X
