Peep the 2000s sunglasses with a chic upgrade this season

In the early 2000s, shield sunglasses dominated the streets and every It girl was wearing them – think the rimless sunglasses that Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and the Mary Kate twins wore on red carpets that covered half their faces. 

And while these sunglasses seemed like a mistake to leave in the past, street style stars have opted for a version that boasts a chic upgrade. What’s new about the 2020 remake? These sunnies now see a more angular, less face-hugging frame. The shield sunnies of today are bold and the perfect statement piece in wardrobes, keeping your peepers protected from UV rays. 

Below,  the styling inspiration, and where to get your own pair of these shades.
