#TrendAlert: Big, bold, and fabulous sunglasses reign supreme on the Winter/Fall runways

Large and over-the-top sunglasses seem to be the latest addition to the 'once-forgotten trends staging a comeback' bunch. Oversized sunglasses have long been a lasting symbol of coolness—championed by all, from Audrey Hepburn to Bella Hadid. The epitome of fashion and function, bug-eyed glasses add a certain mystique that’s hard to resist. What could the wearer be concealing? I guess we’ll never know! The likes of Anna Wintour and even Jackie Kennedy have sworn by this eyewear to observe everyone whilst remaining hidden. Though lenses may have downsized in the ‘80s and ‘90s, the 2000s saw a resurgence in the trend. The Olsen twins, Kim Kardashian, and Paris Hilton have all admittedly taken refuge behind colossal shades, especially when evading paparazzi. 

It seems as though no one is immune to the old Hollywood glamour of oversized eyewear—with the fall-winter fashion week season in full swing, off-duty models are trading in their itty bitty shades and taking to the streets (and ramps)! The Diesel show in Milan, the Michael Kors show in New York City, and the Burberry show in London prominently featured models strutting the ramp while sporting this accessory. Even Beyoncé donned a pair as she sat in the front row at the Luar show in her Gaurav Gupta ensemble! 

Our favourite celebrities have heralded larger-than-life sunglasses as a wardrobe staple—especially when it comes to their airport looks. The verdict is in—big, loud, and fun sunnies are the only way to throw shade this season. In fact, they’re going to be the number one must-have accessory in the upcoming spring-summer season. It seems like a new dawn of oversized accessories is coming, and luckily our eyes will be shielded enough to see it.
