Can anyone remember a time before round sunglasses?! The quintessential style for anyone looking to make a statement, the round frame is thought to be the original prototype for sunglasses, developing through the ages to give us the classic frame we love today! From the roaring ‘20s where they were spotted on bright, young celebrities, to John Lennon in his hayday, to the present day where they can often be seen gracing musicians and artists' faces!

Good news - the utterly chic cat-eye frame suits all face shapes! For decades this sultry, feline-inspired style has been the go-to, from screen legends, to celebrities, to everyday women. The perfect way to pull a look together in one fail swoop, these stylish sunnies are feminine, timeless, and iconic - which is probably why they’re loved by many, from Hailey Beiber to Audrey Hepburn!

Narrow enough that it showcases the browline, the D-frame style (named as it resembles a ‘D’ flipped on its side) has become an absolute classic frame for men and women alike. Sported by rock stars, actors and influencers, the likelihood of you, your besties AND your family owning a pair is very high. Easy to wear, this effortless style is available in a range of frame colours to cater to your look.

First invented in the late 1940’s and peaking in popularity in the ‘50s, both women and men alike opted for these stylish specs to protect their peepers (or just make a style statement!). Securing themselves as wardrobe staple, these frames get their name from their design; the upper portion of the frame is thicker than the lower portion, drawing attention to the wearer’s natural brow line.
