The half cat-eye glasses

Just when we thought we couldn’t adore cat-eye sunglasses any more, Balenciaga, Kendall Jenner and Rihanna recently deepened our love by bringing the sexy back with half cat-eye shades.

A statement accessory piece on the runway at the Balenciaga Autumn/Winter 2017/2018 show, the half cat-eye is a deviation from the large-rimmed glasses we’re accustomed to, but we find them equally as fabulous and 2017 appropriate. 

Rihanna was shot wearing a white pair of half cat-eye glasses in Cannes this year. Her look simply proves that these babies can literally be worn with any outfit for every occasion.

Yellow-lensed sunglasses

Coloured lenses have always been popular, but the colour yellow seems to be the darling child in fashion right now. Yellow lenses are easy to find in all sizes and frames for every facial shape.

The subtle yellow touch means that you can totes get away with wearing your sunnies indoors as well.
