If you look like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, you’re wearing them right. Micro lenses, reminiscent of something we would have worn in the ’90s, are back. It doesn’t come as such a big surprise, considering crop tops and mom jeans have made comebacks already. With celebs rocking these pieces on the regular it’s only […]

Scrolling through Fellow Earthlings’ Instagram feed gives new meaning to the hashtag #goals.

Look at any street style star and you know the finishing touch to any great #OOTD is a pair of sunglasses. However, not all of us can afford a pair of designer sunnies — especially when they are so prone to getting damaged or lost. But that doesn’t mean a love for sunglasses has to be […]

I may have just learned the expression throwing shade (I’m hopelessly late to the party), but it couldn’t be more appropriate on National Sunglasses Day. Shades are a vital fashion accessory. They’re the keys to defining a summer look, and now is the time to get in on the action. Wooden frames are trending, and […]

We’ve gotten real comfortable with ’90s trends making comebacks in the last few years—so much so, that they’ve actually been confused as full-blown current trends. Crop tops, chokers, baggy plaid shirts—how often have you been like, “excuse me, teen, but I had that exact outfit 20 years go!” (before crying in the bathroom)? Well, it […]

I was devastated to find out I needed glasses back when I was 13. How could I possibly look stylish behind a pair of frames? The horror! Rest assured, I grew to love my specs and I’m constantly trying to make sure to keep up with the latest eyewear trends. Bright coloured frames? Check. Cat-eyes? […]

It’s officially summer here in the northern hemisphere—and that means lots of sun exposure. We all know the importance of protecting our skin from the sun (countless products containing SPF, and hats abound), but the lesser known, though equally important, sister to this health obsession is eye protection. Fortunately, eye protection can be as stylish […]

While the nineties may have been the decade de rigueur for the past few seasons, that doesn’t mean you should give up the ultimate sixties face-framer: the cat-eye. Synonymous with classic Hollywood celebs like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn (who while polar opposites, both suited the style so well), the cat-eye gets an update in […]

When it comes to Spring 2013’s sunglasses trends, frames need not be boring. In fact, the louder the better because statement sunglasses are all the rage as the sun begins to come out from winter hibernation and shines bright. We’ve always loved sunglasses for their health benefits (going blind due to sun damage isn’t very cool) but recently we’ve been embracing bold frames in a big way. We DIYed our very own Prada floral pair and found 14 of the best and most affordable frames around and now we’ve asked our Style Panel to teach us a thing or two about styling the latest sunglasses trends without looking like a clown.

Karen Walker sunglasses proved to be a fan favourite with the likes of Stephanie Sterjovski and Krystin Lee of Suburban Faux-Pas with their super oversized and thick-rimmed tortoise frames. And if you’re not ready to embrace over the top shapes then perhaps a printed leopard pair will be more up your alley like Whitney Cosgrave, who kept it simple pairing leopard print with a basic black tee.

If there’s one take away from the Style Panel’s statement sunglasses tips, it’s to keep your look simple so your shades can truly shine.

The easiest way to update your wardrobe is by adding a new accessory. This season, designers updated old classics to create new statement pieces that can take any outfit to new heights. Everything from jewels to shoes and even sunglasses has been given an overhaul for a fresh take on Spring 2013 accessory trends.

Jewellery is always a go-to for putting the finishing touches on any look. After previous jewellery trends such as the statement ring and the statement necklace, this spring all eyes are on oversize earrings. Another summer must-have – sunglasses – have also been updated. Prada’s quirky frames have been decorated with graphic floral prints. While at Missoni and Just Cavalli, sunglasses were designed in vibrant hues.
