80s Sunglasses

• What kind of lenses did 80s sunglasses actually have?

  80s sunglasses often feature unique lenses. Mirrored lenses are a major trend, giving sunglasses a bold, futuristic shine. And gradient tints—where the color subtly fades from dark at the top to lighter down below—were also incredibly popular.

• How do I choose the right pair of 80s sunglasses for my face?

  First things first, pick the frame style you love, whether it's oversized square, chunky Wayfarer, or classic aviator. Then match it to your face.

  
  
  

  Round faces: go for angular shapes like Wayfarers or squares.

  
  

  Square faces: softer fits like aviators work well.

  
  

  Oval faces: you're lucky! Nearly any 80s style will suit you.
