There’s a reason certain shapes never go out of style. If you’re looking for that timeless elegance aesthetic, look no further than Lily-Rose Depp. Spotted in Chanel, she proves that a structured frame is the ultimate power move. To achieve this look, you can try the Chanel rectangle sunglasses in black acetate and gold, featuring grey gradient lenses for a soft, sophisticated transition. For something a bit more avant-garde but equally polished, you could also try the Courrèges Reve oval sunglasses, which provide a sleek, retro-modern edge that screams effortless luxury.

For a versatile choice that flatters most face shapes and works equally well for both men and women, follow Addison Rae’s all-black everything approach. A solid, dark square frame is one of the most universally flattering styles in eyewear — it looks good on almost everyone, regardless of personal style or gender. Opt for the square-frame Saint Laurent sunglasses or the bold Gucci aviator-style acetate pair. Both make excellent shared pieces that suit men and women effortlessly.

Sometimes, the best way to wear sunglasses is not to wear them at all. Take a cue from Pink Pantheress, who uses her frames as a functional hair accessory to keep her look effortlessly casual. For a pair that looks just as good on your head as it does on your face, you can try the Loewe eyewear rectangular-frame tortoiseshell acetate sunglasses. Another standout is the Celine Triomphe XL acetate sunglasses.

Vintage retro trends continue to dominate, and FKA twigs has masterfully pivoted from futuristic to nostalgic with her choice of vintage Dior pilot sunglasses. This look is all about drama, scale and bold presence. To capture that same retro-meets-high-fashion aesthetic, try the Bottega Veneta Eyewear Scudo Shield sunglasses for maximum coverage and a striking, sculptural finish. For a more classic yet versatile option, the Tom Ford Eyewear pilot frame sunglasses deliver the perfect masculine-meets-feminine balance.
