One of the biggest accessories trends to grace the runways lately has been for decorative sunglasses. No longer limited to plain black or brown frames, sunglasses are taking on a life of their own. From flower embellishments to dazzling jewels, designers are getting crafty and bedazzling sunglasses this season. Liven up an outfit with any of the following decorative sunglasses.
1 Bug and Flower Detail Sunglasses
Decorative sunglasses are a great way to glam up your look. A few embellishments on the corner of your frames will take your sunglasses from zero to hero in no time at all. These chic white sunglasses from ASOS feature gold bee and flower details at the corners. They’d look great worn with a pastel printed dress come spring.
Frequently asked questions
2 Jewelled Cat Eye Sunglasses
If flowers aren’t your thing, try sunglasses with jewel embellishments. They can come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, and a range of jewels as well. Jewels that match the colour of the frame can be quite subtle while more noticeably colourful jewels are much more statement-making. While the Prada jewelled sunglasses are quite pricey, these Topshop ones are a dead ringer and a fraction of the cost of a designer pair.
3 Pearl Embellished Sunglasses
If the latest Chanel collections are anything to go by, pearl embellishments are oh so in right now. Luckily, you don’t have to blow the budget to pull off this trend. A pair of pearl embellished sunglasses is a simple way to incorporate this trend into your outfit. At $30 a piece from ASOS, these sunglasses are a fun trend-based buy.
4 Round Glitter Sunglasses
Round glasses are really popular right now. They can be tricky to pull off, but generally larger sized frames are more flattering. Choose a pair of round sunglasses in a glitter finish to glam up your everyday look. Check out ASOS and Topshop for a range of round glitter sunglasses.
5 Filigree Detail Sunglasses
Another trend we’re seeing right now is for filigree details on sunglasses. The look can be quite opulent and decorative. From over the top designs by Jeremy Scott to chain store buys from ASOS, filigree decorated frames seem to be a fashion forward choice. Wear them with a chic outfit of a white silky blouse and fitted pants for a glam everyday look.
6 Metal Frame Sunglasses
Keep things sleek and minimal in a pair of metal framed sunglasses. Look for sunglasses with cut out details and interesting shapes, like these ones from Nasty Gal. You can also find similar styles at ASOS and Topshop in the $30-$40 price range. They’re quite an unusual shape so try styling them with a simple outfit at first and see how you go from there.
7 Embellished Retro Sunglasses
No shape of sunglasses is immune from embellishments right now. Here, the classic Clubmaster shape is given a do-over with some jewel embellishments. These ones will set you back around $20 from ASOS and come in two different shades. Wear them with a plain black tank top and flared jeans to complete the retro inspired look.
8 Flower Embellished Sunglasses
Flower sunglasses are a fresh and fun look for the spring and summer months. Made popular by Dolce & Gabbana, you can now bag this look at stores like ASOS and New Look. Team your floral sunglasses with a flirty dress for a sweet spring look.
These are just some decorative sunglasses to try out this season. If you’re handy with a glue gun, I’m sure many of these sunglasses could be simple DIY projects. What do you think of these decorative sunglasses?
