Move over Wayfarer, there’s a new shape in town! For quite a while now the default celebrity sunglasses were those boxy little 80s-reminicient Ray-Bans. And while they were cute on some, the complete saturation of the style made it a little bit predictable (i.e. boring).
Thankfully, the tide is turning and and celebs are opting for fuller, rounder styles. One such style is the Aviator. They are a classic style that never really goes all the way out of fashion. Aviators are also a good fit for a season when military style is super trendy. This year there’s a big variety of sunglasses that aren’t aviators in the purest sense, but have shapes that are inspired by the style.
These former Disney princesses have each officially made the leap from child cuties to Hollywood hotties. Accordingly, they sport the latest and trendiest fashion right down to the ever present celebrity essential – their sunglasses. Below, from left to right: Vanessa Hudgens is wearing Gucci, Lindsay Lohan is wearing Chloe, and Miley Cyrus is wearing Balenciaga.
Kim Kardashian is the virtual queen of sunglasses. The women seems to have an endless supply of shades in a variety of styles, but with preference for over-sized frames. Below, from left to right: Kim wears YSL, Guess (affordable!), and Chanel glasses… she must have closet for her sunglasses alone.
The celeb mommies below show off their maturity and experience in their eyewear choices. They show that you can still surf the trend while having especially refined taste. Below, left to right: Gwyneth Paltrow wears Stella McCartney, Gwen Stefani wears AM Eyewear, and Angelina Jolie wears YSL.
With the exception of Kim’s Guess pair, all of the above are designer brands that will cost to in the rang eof $300 to buy. Luckily, the aviator shape can be found in many brands at various price points. Below, from left to right: ASOS – $17; Kenneth Cole – $64; Marc by Marc Jacobs – $110.
