Oversized Sunglasses - A Timeless Silhouette

Oversized Sunglasses - A Timeless Silhouette

With all the new and different sunglasses silhouettes you have seen lately, the thought may have crossed your mind that oversized sunglasses may be out of style. Call it maximalism or the effects of the pandemic, but oversized glasses frames are, in fact, very much on trend. From young adults to the elderly, people of all age groups love to wear these oversized glasses. While some wear these glasses just for fashion, others wear oversized prescription glasses. Not only do big sunglasses look good, but there are other benefits to wearing this style that you may not realize. 

Oversized Frame Benefits

Covering more of your face helps with sun protection. And these large lenses do a good job of eliminating glare from things like water, snow, and other bright surfaces. Furthermore, oversized frames have a way of making eyes look larger and more expressive. This technique has been used in celebrities' looks as well as others who want to either hide their identities or increase their cool factor. David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe, and Jennifer Anniston have all made oversized glasses look great with their signature looks in their films (Bowie in the Man Who Fell to Earth), fashion appearances (Monroe’s iconic oversized cat-eye look), and street style (Jennifer Aniston’s various casual chic looks) respectively. 

If these reasons are not enough to pick a pair of oversized frames the next time you are getting ready, here are some of our favorite looks for a big, bold statement.

Red Lenses

In the mood to make a statement with your eyewear? The Dennis Star Cruisers in Red Moon is the look for you to choose. These gorgeous shades feature a bright red lens that will definitely get you noticed. The versatile, classic square shape means that this silhouette will flatter most face shapes, making it an easy choice. If you want to get noticed with a pair of oversized frames, along with a statement lens color, this is without a doubt the pair of sunglasses for you.

Round Oversized

The Salomé silhouette in smokey blue from Nessy Khem is our efforts on a redefined oversized round sunglasses look. These sunglasses, handcrafted in Japan, are made from 24 karat gold, silver, and black coated stainless steel.
