The best sunglasses depend on what suits your face shape best–from oval and heart shaped to square and diamond shaped. As trends come and go easily, sunglasses are always a staple in accessorizing an outfit. Not only does it take an outfit to another level, but it also serves as eye protection from those pesky UV rays. Speaking of leveling up, the trend this season is to revamp classic sunglasses in a more modern approach. On one hand, you have cat eyes gone extreme, on the other, you have tiny sunglasses that appear to be taken out of The Matrix. Scroll down and see which real sleek shadies are best suited for this summer season.

Retro is the theme for Chloé’s Spring/Summer 2019 sunglasses.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney launched her own fashion house under her name in a partnership with Kering as a 50/50 joint venture and showed her first collection in Paris in October 2001. 18 years later, her collections include women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, accessories, lingerie, eyewear, fragrance and kids. Stella McCartney loves playing with scale in her eyewear collection. It is quite like paying homage to the iconic band, The Beatles. This aviator style has over-sized square frames made from coated metal tipped with the label’s bio-acetate. The contrasting yellow lenses will add a pop of color to neutral outfits.
