Wondering if oversized designer sunglasses are still in fashion? They sure are! This season, large sunglasses are a must-have accessory for those aiming to look classy with that certain hint of movie star allure. Women’s oversized sunglasses are (pardon the pun) huge right now. However, there are some really cool men’s frames out there too from brands like Cazal. Whether you’re looking for oversized polarised sunglasses or oversized mirror sunglasses, we have something for you!
What Are Oversized Sunglasses?
Oversized sunglasses are large framed specs, often seen as a fashion statement or a way of getting around town with a low profile. While oversized sunnies are quite popular today, oversized shades gained vogue status in the ‘60s. Style icons like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy famously wore oversized sunnies – the latter even has a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses named after her!
How to Wear Oversized Sunglasses
The first step in buying a good pair of sunnies is making sure you like them and they suit your face. At SmartBuyGlasses, you can do all this online from the comfort of home! Try before you buy with our realistic Virtual Try-On tool, available for all of the sunglasses below.
