15 must-have designer sunglasses to invest in now

No summer outfit is complete without a statement pair of designer sunglasses. However if you’re living in Dubai, this wardrobe staple is a non-negotiable all-year round, no matter the season.

Here, Emirates Woman breaks down the designer sunglasses trends and frames to consider when snagging a new pair, along with the hero styles you need to be investing in.

Square Sunglasses

To balance out a rounder face shape, opt for square frames to balance out your features – and will never go out of style.

Rectangle Sunglasses

If square sunglasses looks a little too formal for your taste, you can’t go wrong with rectangle frames. It adds a little bit of edge and attitude to an otherwise structured silhouette – Kendall Jenner is a big fan.

Oval Sunglasses

Alternatively, if you have stronger facial features such as a square face shape and a strong jawline, reach out for oval sunglasses to soften the harsh and sharp lines.

Take style inspiration from the likes of Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber and go for micro oval frames for something more fresh and contemporary.

Oversized Sunglasses

Looking for something to add a bit of drama to amplify your style or just simply want to go incognito? Oversized frames will do just the trick.

Cat-eye Sunglasses

This universally flattering shape is suitable for anyone.

Aviator-style Sunglasses

A tried-and-true classic, aviators are not meant for those with longer and oblong face shapes, but rather suited for those with smaller, square faces – like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Y2K-inspired Sunglasses

Tap into the early 2000s to add a bit of character and nostalgia to your summer outfits. “These shades are more than a passing fad, they embrace a timeless allure adding a touch of your own personality to any occasion” says Valentine Turbian, Head of Marketing Sunglass Hut MENA.
