Designer Brands That Offer Spec-tacular Sunglasses for Women

Summer Dresses. Flip-flops. Sunnies. Yes, it’s that time of the year again!

It’s the season to finally show-off that beach body that you’ve been working on during the quarantine. Or that radiant skin that’s been subject to your little skincare experiments. Or your freshly bleached hair, or your new ink, or whatever you want the world to see. You can finally go out there and have fun under the sun.  

Just make sure that you put your sunnies on wherever your feet will take you. You may love some sunshine, but your eyes don’t. That’s why sunglasses, especially this summer, are as essential as your sunblock, wide-brimmed hats and water bottle.

If you’re on the hunt for a new pair, what timing! We’ve curated some of the best designer brands whose eyewear games are so strong that they can make the summer yours for the taking. 

But if you’re just looking for a sign whether or not to buy a pair, this is it. Go add those feisty cat-eye frames to your cart, girl! There’s no such thing as too many sunglasses, anyway.

Le Specs

Le Specs has been our long-time favourite. Even before female celebs like Rihanna, Gigi and Bella Hadid were seen sporting the Adam Selman x Le Specs collection in 2017. Although these collaborations with the big names in the high fashion industry really propelled the brand, our admiration for the Le Specs go way, way back.

Since its foundation in 1979, Le Specs has proven to us that women’s sunglasses can be innovative, playful, and iconic. We love Le Specs, not only because it’s a homegrown Australian brand, but also because of their unapologetically unique designs. Any lady who wants to bring out their bold and flashy side at least once in a while will certainly love a pair of Le Specs.

Here are only some frames that we’ll never get tired of wearing:

1. Le Specs Electricool

Le Specs Electricool

Le Specs Electricool Matte Black Grey (1902020)

This is not your usual elongated sunnies. It’s angular shape coupled with the aviator-style double bridge pays homage to the timeless classics but at the same time, exudes futuristic vibes that are perfect for ladies out there who are gunning for a very modern and fashion-forward look.

2. Le Specs Liar Liar

Le Specs Liar Liar

Le Specs Liar Liar Polarised Matte Black Grey (1802485)

We’re lying through our teeth if we say this model is not a piece of beauty. It’s sharp and ironically sexy despite its thick frame and oversized lenses. It may be an everyday pair of sunglasses that can effortlessly match any style but there’s something with it that’s alluring and sweet-talks you to buy it. It could be the smoked lenses, or the distinctively 90s shape, we’re not sure. And we’re leaving it for you to find out.

These babies are also available in a Tortoiseshell Frame – check them out here.

 

3. Le Specs Teen Spirit Deux

It takes the regular rounded silhouette and transforms it into a classy and modern-looking pair of sunnies that can keep up with today’s fashion standards. The Teen Spirit Deux is also available in a Tort Frame with a Brown Gradient Lens and Gloss Black Frame with Smokey Lens.

Kendall + Kylie

If you’re not familiar with these two sisters, you must be living under a rock. They are the stars of the hit reality US TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, along with other family members. The show was so successful that the family name became almost synonymous to glam, fame and everything that comes with. Including a string of controversies.

But like all courageous women do, Kendall and Kylie decided that they will pave their own path and build their own name and unsurprisingly, their own fashion empire. And they did just that when they unveiled their debut line of sunglasses in 2017. Simply named Kendall + Kylie.

It features a great collection of sunnies that perfectly represents the hip and trendy fashion the two sisters love and follow. From retro aviator silhouettes, to oversized cat-eye frames, Kendall + Kylie designs are bound to complete every style you’re gunning for. These modern designs transcend age brackets as they cater to both the young and young-at-heart generation.

We’re head over heels in love with these models from the sisterly collab:

1. Kendall + Kylie Trinity

Kendall + Kylie Trinity

Kendall + Kylie Trinity Shiny Black Grey (4038-001)

Don’t be surprised that a cat-eye makes the cut. They are just that fashionable, especially for women. The Kendall + Kylie Trinity is on a whole new level, though. This funky cat-eyes always screams attention. Its sleek and polished metallic frame and lenses that are slightly bigger than the rims give this piece that distinctive and daring look. Check them out in the Gold Gradient Flash here.

2. Kendall + Kylie Lancer

Kendall + Kylie Lancer Shiny Gunmetal Green (4035-060)

These beauties are nothing short of cool and classy. While rectangular-shaped silhouettes have been a favourite ever since they were conceived, the Kendall + Kylie take is a special one. This pair comes in a very solid yet lightweight frame to make sure comfortability goes hand in hand with style. If you have a round or oval face shape, a Lancer will perfectly enhance those gorgeous facial proportions. You can get these ones in a classic Black Frame as well. 

3. Kendall + Kylie Helene

Kendall + Kylie Helene

Kendall + Kylie Helene Light Gold Gold Flash (4039 717)

 

The Helene pieces may look like typical aviator shades at first. But give it a second look and watch how the ingenious design unfolds in your face. It’s surprisingly a cat-eye lens in a double-bridged aviator frame! In theory, that would’ve been a disaster. But look just  how gorgeously it came out.

If you’re torn between going classic and going perky, you can always get the best of both worlds with a pair of Kendall + Kylie Helene! These ones come in a variety of colours including the Satin Electric Blue Frame with Grey Lens, the classic Matte Black with Grey Lens pair and teh stunning Light Grey Rose Frame and Grey Silver Flash Lens.
