After staying indoors for the longest time, many of us have been in search of new sunnies to sport while we’re out and about. A pair of good sunglasses is almost like an art piece, elevating the look and feel of every ensemble. Not only do they shape how you see the world, but your choice of frames also dictates how others see you and can be a subtle indicator of your personality. 

If there’s a style that’s reigning supreme this season, it’s the ‘90s inspired micro sunglasses. Barely covering your eyes, the minimalist shape is both sporty and chic at the same time. Think Cindy Crawford, Julia Roberts or Jennifer Lopez from the 90’s era. Celine Dion even made a case for sunnies on the red carpet, finishing off her outfit with a star studded pair at the 1999 Oscars.

From iconic oval shapes to futuristic rectangular silhouettes á la Neo in The Matrix, tiny sunglasses have been spotted on the noses of everyone from Dua Lipa to Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid to Hailey Bieber. Rihanna has favoured both the rimmed and the rimless versions all year round, while Mira and Karisma Kapoor put a spin on the trend with cat-eye opticals from Christian Dior.
