Statement Sunnies for the Winter Season
We round up the best eyewear for sunless days.
Even the chilly winter months still call for cute sunglasses that are not confined to seasons. Rocking a pair of sunnies is often the final touch to a head-turning look, and though the sun may not always come out to play during this time of year, it’s still important to stay protected from its UV rays.
If you aren’t sure where to find sunglasses that can mesh with both your summer and winter wardrobes, keep reading — we’ve rounded up the best sunglasses (including some hot new drops) to wear in the winter, and all year round.
JB3 x Parke Official Oval Sunglasses
These JB3 oval sunnies are the cherry on top of any layered, fall or winter look. Handmade in Italy, in collaboration with Parke Official, they have the potential to be an evergreen piece in your collection year after year — no matter the season. The Black colorway is a timeless option, but the collab also comes in a dynamic tortoise option and a more playful deep green shade as well.
Gentle Monster Gummy PC12
Gentle Monster‘s recently dropped Gentle Jelly collection nearly broke the internet, generating excitement among fashion fans and eyewear enthusiasts alike. Like many of the avant-garde brand’s drops, the collection features eyewear options that really put the fun in functionality. The Gummy PC12 style literally looks good enough to eat — and they are the perfect accessory to bring a sense of joy to some gloomy winter days.
Ganni x Ace & Tate 2.0 Twiggy
Ganni girlies…this one’s for you. A brand new collab that just launched on February 7th, GANNI x Ace & Tate 2.0 brings forth an eyewear option that oozes futuristic coolness. B Corp-certified Dutch eyewear label Ace & Tate teamed up with Ganni to create an accessory that meshes both brands’ commitment to sustainability. Every pair is crafted from Recycled Acetate and Acetate Renew Bio, and the launch shows off five chic models in five separate colorways. The Twiggy is a classic, effortlessly wearable pair that we’re co-signing for winter.
Pucci Rectangle Glasses
Valentine’s Day comes every year just as winter begins to transform into spring, giving us a cheerful boost until we welcome sunnier days. If you’re still riding on the high of the Barbie pink fad, these pink acetate sunnies are for you. They sport the signature Pucci emblem on both sides and are the perfect pair to sport during Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Lowercase Steeplechase
The Lowercase Steeplechase in a fanciful Lilac colorway looks ahead to warmer spring days while bringing a sense of whimsy to bundled-up looks. Their cat eye shape would look adorably chic styled with a knit balaclava.
Lexxola Alba
“Dorky” glasses are having a moment right now, ushering in the dark academia trend and spurring many to pick up their thin-rimmed prescription glasses that previously sat collecting dust for ages. The Lexxola Alba style is the cutest way to lean into this trend. You can rock these with or without a prescription and they’re sure to level up any winter look.
COVRY Merak S Honey
COVRY‘s Merak S Hunny sunglasses let you see life through brighter lenses, no matter what time of year it may be. The honey-hued frames bring a sense of warmth during the colder season. Aside from some other distinctive shapes and colorways, what really sets COVRY apart is that the brand creates inclusive eyewear, as it is an AAPI-owned brand that aims to cater to diverse face shapes.
QUAY x Danielle Guizio Balance
QUAY rolled out its first-ever eyewear collab last week, and it’s definitely one for the it-girls. Teaming up with Danielle Guizio, one of the internet’s favorite brands when it comes to belt-sized micro mini skirts and feminine dresses, the brands released a collection of 10 staple styles. The Balance is a showstopping pair that will not only shield your face from harsh winter wind, but they’ll command attention wherever — and whenever — you wear them.
