THE NEXT EYEWEAR OBSESSION: LAB GLASSES
Oversized and shield-like shades that resemble goggles from chem class are in vogue.
What next following a heady year for teeny-tiny, ’90s-influenced sunnies that became a touchstone for every self-respecting fashion KOL? The exact opposite, of course (fashion designers can be a mercurial bunch): oversized and shield-like, so much so that they resemble the goggles from chem class. While they’re the antithesis of what the Hadids and Jenners popularised in 2018 in style, expect them to draw the same attention (can’t miss them), divisive views (they’re best on those with round or heart-shaped faces – and an equally bold dress sense), and Instagram ubiquity (every label from Loewe to Miu Miu has one in S/S ’19 – and Kylie Jenner’s already been seen in a pair). – IJ
