Fancy yourself a noughties icon? Then it’s time to bust out your shield sunglasses

Get into a sporty-meets-futuristic frame of mind with the up and coming shield sunglasses trend that will be sure to protect your eyes

by Margaux Levy  /   May 30, 2022

Just like how activewear has spilt over into our wardrobe, sporty shield sunglasses have increasingly become a popular choice among those who want to up their accessories game today.

Originally worn by cyclists, skiers and the ilk, the typically rimless, wraparound and oversized eyewear style have swapped their utilitarian and high-coverage factor for a cool retro-futuristic vibe, co-opted by street style fiends and brands such as Gucci, Blumarine and Burberry this season.

To jumpstart your collection of these big sunglass frames, we have selected some options out in the market right now. Scroll on for a look.
