It’s the little things that make or break a look, and it’s especially true of sunglasses. Throw them on, and you instantly look cool, edgy and mysterious. But a statement pair of sunnies isn’t just a fashion accessory—tinted lenses with UV protection (along with sunscreen, of course) are a must year-round to protect you from the sun as you go about your business. From a twist on classic aviators and sleek cat-eye shades to trendy rectangle frames, this year’s best styles are all about nostalgia. Here, we’ve rounded up sunglasses to match every outfit and occasion.

Incredibly cool, yet easy to wear, these sunnies are made from recycled plastic.

Channel your inner Barbie with rose-tinted lenses.

Geometric cat-eye frames make a statement in a soft pastel blue—the perfect frame to pair with the viral ‘blueberry milk nails’ manicure.

These sleek aviator frames by Canadian jewellery maker Jenny Bird were given a Y2K-inspired update with an angular silhouette.

There’s nothing more timeless than a pair of black oversized sunnies, and we’re partial to this pair from Canadian brand BonLook, which is perfectly balanced by a thick acetate frame for all-day comfort.

Swimwear label Nana the Brand now dabbles in sunglasses, offering trendy, budget-friendly options like these olive green frames.

For round sunnies that give ’70s chic vibes  (over, say, Harry Potter ones), opt for a hexagon frame with opaque lenses in an elevated metal finish.

A hit of sunshine yellow is guaranteed to brighten up your outfit—and your day.

The fun pattern on the frames gives these aviators a contemporary update.

A tortoise shell cat-eye frame is guaranteed to be a timeless addition to your eyewear collection.

Sweet scallops elevate this simple oval frame and bring a touch of whimsy.
