Key to protecting the eyes from the harsh sun, a good pair of sunglasses also effortlessly helps elevate one’s fashion game. As the classic oval-shaped sunnies from the ’90s come back in style, one cannot help but gush over the timeless charm of some of these retro and contemporary designs.
A good, sensible pair of sunglasses is an investment but then, anyone with half a brain and an opinion can tell you that much. We are here to explore some of the best looks for the season, possibly with enough closet currency to last a few years.
Oval
We wanted to start with classics and what better than some ’90s oval sunnies that fit the bill? Oval or spherical-shaped glasses best suit a squared or diamond-shaped face, helping to balance the angularity with its rounded edges.
Thanks to the diversity it offers with regard to shape and size, even in its own niche genre, this versatile accessory has a timeless charm that extends well beyond the next season.
Elongated styles from Loewe Eyewear are season favourites that one can look up for reference.

Cat-eye
Oh, the passionate urge to reach for a pair of classic Cat-eye glasses! Looking at the bold accessory in all its glory, it is easy to see the pull and allure of the timeless, yet contemporary piece.
Best on heart-shaped faces, they highlight the cheekbones and give off the illusion of a long face. The frame has the power to instantly lift any outfit, thanks to its directional designs.
Fashionistas can either go for an OG Bottega Veneta pair or choose from the DIOR Eyewear collection. Or, they can visit local stores and recreate the look for cheaper.

Fashion is fun in 2023, and it is not a year to shy away from bright colours. Whether one is looking to make a statement or liven up an understated capsule, no outfit is ever complete without the playful, colourful frames. Choose a frame that suits your features the best and go all out for colours such as bright green or yellow, or even pastel shades of powder blue or pink.
Classy, colourful pairs to look at are Outta Love by Le Specs and Linda Farrow’s newest.
