SUNGLASSES

THAT WILL ELEVATE YOUR LOOK

- BY FUNKE BABS-KUFEJI

If there’s one accessory you can never (and we mean never) have too many of, it’s sunglasses. From cat-eye to aviators, there are just too many incredible styles from which to choose - so we say snag them all. You never know which vintage styles will have a resurgence or what colours will be seen on influencer­s and celebritie­s, which is why keeping up to date with all the 2020 sunglasses trends is majorly important. Once you see which sunglasses styles are on-trend, you can collect sunglasses like a pro - and for those of us who own upwards of 30 pairs, we can safely say that each and every trendy style has their moment! Keep every style available on-hand, because odds are, it’ll eventually start trending.

CHAINED UP

Tired: sunglasses without chains. Wired: sunglasses with chains. Though a few years ago you likely associated glasses chains with librarians or your grandma, they’re ontrend for summer 2020 in a bigway. From the sleek and sophistica­ted to the chunky and bold, sunglasses chains are the accessory you didn’t know you needed.

ITTY-BITTY RECTANGLES

Tiny sunglasses have had a major moment in the last few years, and for 2020, they’re sticking around in one particular style: the rectangle. Think every pair of sunnies Bella Hadid has worn since

2018 meets The Matrix.

Dark and mysterious while - at the same time - effortless­ly cool. We used to have our doubts about this trend, but we have to admit it’s worn us down. Bring on the itty bitty rectangula­r sunnies, baby. J

CLASSIC AVIATORS

If you’re not really the type of person who likes to play around with trendy or over-the-top sunglasses styles, have no fear. Classic aviators are definitely trending for summer 2020. Aviators never seem to go out of style - and for good reason. They look good on just about anyone, and you can easily pair them with any ensemble. Plus, whether you want to go with a simple aviator or spice it up with some on-trend maximalist details (like coloured lenses!), there’s a pair waiting for you this season.

MODERN VINTAGE

This is where old school silhouette­s meet funky on-trend colours and patterns with the modern vintage sunglasses styles available right now. Whether it’s a vintage pair of rectangula­r sunglasses amped up with some bright neon or classic cat-eyes made modern, this sunglasses trend is beyond cute.

There’s a little something for everyone, too, so no matter

COLOURFUL LENSES

Sure, classic lenses get the job done, but candy-coloured and fun lenses are what will set your sunnies apart this year. From itty-bitty sunglasses to oversized aviators, colourful lenses are available in all different styles - so you can choose your favourite and go from there. If you’re in need of major sun protection, though, opt for a darker lens. These colourful sunnies are best when it’s a little cloudy.
