It’s mid-July—the sun is bright, and the days are long, so let’s talk about sunglasses. They’re obviously an essential accessory in the summer, but they’re also a year-round staple, so investing in a great pair is important. Sunglasses are also an accessory that you don’t really need that many pairs of at a time (unless you like to have options), but you probably need to replenish your collection from time to time. They tend to break, get scratched, and get left behind quite a bit, sadly.
Stylish celebrities are a great place to look for sunglass inspiration, so I did some research. I found a handful of very chic pairs from the past several months to perhaps inspire your next purchase. Bella Hadid, Jennifer Lopez, and Angelina Jolie (to name a few) have great taste in sunglasses, so I found the exact pairs they wore on these recent occasions. Scroll to shop them, in addition to a few other pairs I think you’ll like.
