Following the comeback of the 90s hair accessory, the scrunchie, teeny tiny sunglasses are the next retro trend that celebrities have been jumping on.
Stars like Rihanna, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner are constantly spotted in these micro shades that seem to barely serve a purpose from shielding your eyes from the sun.
Even Kim Kardashian has gotten the memo after receiving an email from husband Kanye West saying that she isn’t allowed to wear big sunglasses anymore, and that “it’s all about tiny little glasses”. He also proceeded to attach a range of 90s photos of people in tiny glasses for her reference.
These micro frames hang from the middle of your nose bridge and exude a cool girl vibe. They aren’t troublesome at all as you don’t have to remove them when you are indoors as most of them hardly even cover your eyes.
Here are our top picks to help you rock this trend effortlessly.
