Summer must-haves: oval sunglasses

Now that summer is (finally) just around the corner, we’ll all be reaching for our favourite pair of sunglasses to complete our looks and make us feel great. And this season, it’s oval frames that are the must-have design. Whether you’re looking for something chunky and retro, or want a more sleek, rimless silhouette, we’re here to give you a style rundown and help you find your perfect pair of oval sunglasses. 

Oval sunglasses style history

A firm 90s favourite, retro oval sunglasses are making a comeback this year, but where did this classic style come from?

Moving away from the oversized frames of the 70s and 80s, the 90s brought sleek silhouettes into fashion, epitomised by the era’s oval-shaped glasses. With softly curved lenses and usually tiny frames, the oval design experimented with a more minimalistic style and quickly became an iconic vintage look. With celebs today back on the retro oval trend, what better time than now to find your own pair of vintage oval sunglasses?
