Whatever, I'm late to the club, but yes, I've been getting into sunglasses lately! To clarify: I've always had a couple in my arsenal (I reach for my Chanel sunnies whenever I'm traveling). But TBH, I was the girl that steered clear from sunglasses in general because I wanted to show off my face and/or didn't want to mess up my makeup. You know when you remove your sunglasses and there's that line on your nose that just messes with your face beat so you have to carry your foundation brush with you? Yeah, h8 that. These days, I don't mind the sacrifice too much...just because these trendy sunglasses are that good.
There are the obvious benefits of sunglasses: they're a great shield against the sun's rays, they're a handy mask for the times you pull an all-nighter, they instantly make you look chic, and if you wanna feel mysterious, a huge pair can make you incognito in no time. Honestly, the list can go on but let's just focus on the aesthetic for now, kk? From designer to boutiques and affordable in-betweens, I've got 33 amazing pairs for you to choose from and shop.

What to consider when shopping for trendy sunglasses:
You should consider a few things when it comes to choosing your sunnies.
1. What best fits your face?
The cool thing about this digital age of ours is that we don't even need to be in store to figure it out! Thank ya, digital try-on. So many stores and retailers have this option. And even if the website you're looking at doesn't, try on a similar style pair at another retailer to get an idea!
2. What's your vibe?
As you can see from this list, there are so many styles to discover! It can be an adventure if you're into the "more is more" lifestyle or it can be overwhelming if you're a one-and-done kind of gal. If you're into quirky styles, then you should def go for eccentric shaped lenses. Love experimenting with hues? Try fun prints and/or acetate colors. Are you a minimalist? Begin with some neutral pairs, for sure! If you love to make a statement, opaque aesthetics in bold colors are your best bet. Look through this list and see what speaks to you the most.
