Year after year, the outfits on and off the runway at the annual Australian Fashion Week just seem to get better. With another year wrapped and the chaotic week slowly disappearing from our IG feeds, we thought we'd share some of our favourite sunglass styles sported throughout fashion week and where you can find them - just in case you missed it.

Spotted on more faces than one, it seems that the reign of the Wayfarer is well and truly back. Perhaps with the likes of Hailey Bieber and other celebs sporting the famous Ray-Ban style, the wayfarer trend has come full circle, and we're here for it. When thinking of effortlessly cool eyewear, the wayfarer certainly comes to mind. For the no-fuss pair of sunglasses that you know will compliment anything and everything in your wardrobe, you can't go passed the RB2140, available in a range of eye sizes and colourways to suit everyone.

Combining several of the biggest eyewear trends into one style, the VE2226 sunglasses are an all-in-one style to accentuate any outfit.

Another event, another spotting of the Prada PR17WS sunglasses. With the demand for the sleek Prada style remaining strong, the PR17WS sunglasses are showing no signs of slowing down in popularity. So what makes this style so sought-after? Not only incredibly comfortable, but the lenses also sit at the perfect height, complementing a wide range of faces while the Prada Symbole adorned on the temple gives this style the high-fashion allure.

What came as a surprise to absolutely no one, wraparound sunglasses in all shapes, sizes and colours dominated fashion week. With many testing the waters with dark coloured wraparounds when the eyewear trend started to take off, it seems we are now well and truly comfortable enough to go beyond black frames by experimenting with white and coloured frames and even mirrors. For the effortlessly cool Y2K look, we've rounded up a few of our favourite wraparounds that push the boundaries of what's considered fashionable.

Forget the lineup, when Coachella rolls around, all eyes are on what everyone is wearing and discussions on social media around which trends triumphed. While we've loved the Coachella highlights from Harry Styles' epic performance in a head-to-toe Gucci ensemble and Billie Eilish's night altering set, our conversations drifted to who wore what and most importantly, what sunglasses they were matching with their out-there fits. If there's one prevailing theme we found across what sunglasses were worn in the hot Palm Springs desert, it was that futurism trumped with larger than life wraparound shades and modern shields - both practical for the all-day wear and fitting for the extravagant fashion that is Coachella. Keep reading to see our favourite fits from the weekend and the sunglasses you can steal from their look.

Spotted on not just one influencer, but two (or possibly more), Nitsan Raiter Fluxgold wears the ultra-glam and ultra-futuristic VE2241 sunglasses by Versace. Nobody does over-the-top style quite like Versace. Combining a metallic lens with a super sleek shield wraparound shape, and of course, a bold Versace emblem adorning the temples, these shades have caught our attention in more ways than one. The VE2241 sunglasses are one of our favourite accessories seen in weekend one, encapsulating our favourite wraparound trend in the most glamorous way.

Wowing fans with her outfit choices all weekend long, it seems everyone is talking about Emma Chamberlain's effortlessly cool day one look. With many claiming the YouTuber as best-dressed, Emma's metallic romper and modern waist bag are perfectly complemented by her light-lens futuristic shades, proving that the best outfits only need a few core pieces that tie in well together. Staying on theme with the popular wraparound shield trend, Emma's light rimless shades share the same warm tones as her romper through a light brown gradient lens. Practical, comfortable and perfect for both sunshine and shade, we can't get enough of Emma's choice of eyewear. Emma wears a vintage pair of sunglasses, however, you can steal her look with the Guess 7737 sunglasses.

What comes as no surprise, the always in-demand Prada PR17WS sunglasses were spotted all over Coachella, suggesting that the on-trend style isn't slowing down in popularity any time soon.

TikTok star Noah Beck wears the PR17WS with a casual outfit that's perfect for long days spent inside the festival, these sunnies are the perfect mix of casual and trendiness which elevates his outfit effortlessly.

Honourable mention to the eyewear style that graced our IG feeds and the faces of anyone and everyone over the weekend; the wraparound sunglasses. The wraparound takeover is well and truly underway with celebrities and influencers opting for the comfy and protective style to complete their outfits, no matter how casual or out-there they were. Seen on the likes of Sydney and Devon Lee Carlson, Charlotte D'Alessio and Emma Chamberlain to name a few, wraparound sunglasses in all sizes and colours reigned supreme.

Going off the high demand for fashion sunglasses with coloured lenses, it seems tinted lenses will be bigger than ever in 2022. Naturally, we reach for the darkest shades in our wardrobe as a safe option to pair with any outfit. Yet, with "it girls" like Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Devon Lee Carlson opting for tinted lenses over extra dark shades, colour blocking with sunglasses will soon be the new norm in elevating your look.

Not only are they a fashionable accessory, but tinted lenses also hold mood-boosting properties with each colour having its own set of benefits to evoke a positive response to your mood. If you need another reason to invest in a pair of coloured lens sunglasses, you can achieve the model-off-duty look while boosting your mood all in the name of self-care.

Perhaps the most sought-after tinted lens colour of them all, yellow lenses have held a fondness among models, influencers and celebrities alike for some time. Aside from their fashionable look, what are yellow lens sunglasses for? Yellow lenses have colour enhancing properties that brighten detail and colour on cloudy days. Combined with positive effects on your mood, yellow lenses are your best bet for brightening up your day and your look.

Yellow lenses have had multiple moments over the decades and have well and truly made a comeback, with a certain nineties nostalgia that has the fashion world in a chokehold, we're confident that yellow lenses are here to stay. Gracing your Pinterest and Instagram feed daily, there is nothing that says "it girl" more than a pair of square black frames with yellow lenses.

If you can't get behind brightly coloured lenses just yet, blue tints might be the move for you. Possessing a Y2K Britney Spears vibe, lenses in baby blue hues are subtle enough for everyday wear while still being playful. Best of all, sunglasses with blue lenses go with just about anything, with honourable mention to a classic pair of blue jeans and a white tee.

The colour blue is known to have a relaxing and calming effect, and blue lenses are no different. Great for wearability and all-day comfort, step out in a pair of black sunglasses with blue frames, or go for a colour contrast with tortoiseshell frames for a striking, fashion-forward look.

A surprise to some, the latest tint to peak in popularity is none other than fiery red lenses. What was once Elton John's tint of choice has re-emerged in the fashion world, making a statement on the runway with powerhouse brands like Gucci and Versace incorporating the all-demanding shade into high-fashion frames. And as trends to go, we've seen an influx of fiery red and rose tints pop up in other eyewear brands following suit.

It's true what they say about rose-coloured lenses: warm lenses can help you live your day in a mindset filled with love and gratitude. Personally, we can't get enough of this colour, they warm up every look while giving a girl-boss vibe unlike any other tint; we're confident we'll continue to see more red and rose lenses to grace our feeds.

Style Focus: Sunglasses Seen on Hailey Bieber

Known for her effortlessly cool street style, forever muse, Hailey Bieber, has been spotted in her fair share of sunglasses. From luxurious, high-end styles to budget-friendly shades, if there's one thing for sure, Hailey is always ahead when it comes to eyewear trends. Frequently spotted in black designer shades or colourful rectangular sunglasses, we've done the hard work for you and have compiled some of Hailey's go-to styles so you can steal her look.

From LA to Paris, Hailey has been papped all over wearing the SL 276 MICA sunglasses by Saint Laurent. So much so that this popular style continues to sell out time and time again. Featuring a sweeping cat-eye shape with the lenses flattened at the bottom of the frame, the MICA provides all the coverage while maintaining a high-fashion look. It's not hard to see why Hailey is spotted in these so often; they're the perfect day-to-day pair while being trendy enough to elevate any outfit.

A fan of the classics, Hailey wears the latest Ray-Ban style, the Lady Burbank. Ray-Ban's have long been a wardrobe staple for celebrities and influencers. It comes as no surprise that Hailey is spotted in the chic Lady Burbanks, the perfect model-off-duty style. Hailey is known for her casual and comfortable looks and this Ray-Ban cat-eye style perfectly complements her casual attire. We expect to see more of the Lady Burbank gracing our IG feeds as nothing beats a pair of little black sunglasses.

While a master of the neutral aesthetic, Hailey is known to elevate her looks through bright pops of colour in the form of shoes and accessories. Hailey wears the GUCCI 0516S sunglasses in a bold, neon yellow colourway which are the perfect statement accessory to any neutral ensemble. While the neon yellow colourway has sold out, you can steal Hailey's look with the 0516S sunglasses in the black or grey frame. The GUCCI 0516S sunglasses are the ultimate cool-girl style featuring the brand's iconic "GG" logo adorned on the temple of the slimline rectangular frame.



Swapping her signature black frames for lighter shades, Hailey wears the Xray Spex sunglasses by Reality Eyewear. Not only does this on-trend style tie into her lighter outfit effortlessly, but they're also at an affordable price point. Hailey isn't the only one spotted wearing these rectangular specs, this style has also been worn by Gigi Hadid and Emily Ratajkowksi, proving that the Xray Spex is the ultimate model-off-duty pair. The colourway Hailey is wearing is discontinued, however, the Xray Spex come in an array of fashion-forward colours, including tinted and polarised lenses.

A celebrity favourite, Hailey wears the Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer sunglasses, proving you can't go wrong with the classics. The wayfarers have long been associated with understated coolness while offering the perfect amount of coverage; it's no wonder these timeless shades continue to be so in-demand. Once again opting for a pair of black shades, you can steal Hailey's look with this easy-to-wear unisex style that comes in a variety of colourways and sizes.

Sunglasses the Cast of Euphoria Would Wear

Season two of HBO's Euphoria has finally aired which means the internet is once again in a frenzy discussing the show's iconic fashion moments and otherworldly makeup looks. With character Maddy Perez's New Year's Eve outfit in episode one kicking off the year's most sought-after outfit, it's clear that the carefully curated wardrobe of the Euphoria cast members has immense power to influence today's fashion. With many of us turning to season two's edgy looks for our next outfit splurge (guilty), we've put together sunglass styles we think the cast of Euphoria would wear so you can steal their look.

Perhaps the most fashionable character on the show, Maddy Perez played by Alexa Demie, has major main character energy with a wardrobe to match. Her style is a mix of contemporary and Y2K, blended with vintage and high-end pieces from independent designers, which is what makes Maddy's looks so playful. Her poolside appearance on episode two wearing a pair of vintage Jean Paul Gaultier sunglasses sent viewers abuzz searching the web to copy her look; unfortunately, the retro-style sunglasses are no longer available. You can steal Maddy's look with the Reality Eyewear Orbital sunglasses which feature a similar oval shape and blue-tinted lenses.

Stealing the spotlight through her Emmy-worthy meltdowns, Cassie's evolving style is a significant factor in her character development this season. Adopting Maddy's look (for all the wrong reasons), Cassie, played by Sydney Sweeney, also shares a love for Y2K style with a softer look than her BFF, Maddy. Cassie's very curated wardrobe alludes to her character's innocent demeanour as she often opts for light blue and pink pieces with a feminine feel. In the same scene above, Cassie lays poolside with Maddy wearing a light pink bikini to match her pink-tinted rectangular shades that have a very early 2000's feel. Get Cassie's look with the Reality Eyewear Faster Love sunglasses with a heart diamante feature to complement her signature diamond-adorned makeup.




The protagonist of the show who struggles with sobriety throughout series one and two, Rue Bennett, played by Zendaya, has a carefree sense of style that reflects her character's defiant nature. Dressed for comfort over style, Rue has an androgynous look that breaks the barrier between men's and women's clothing. With her turbulent lifestyle showcased throughout the show, Rue is spotted wearing oversized sunglasses that diverts attention away from her self-destructive behaviour. As someone who prefers to remain in the background, it makes sense that Rue opts for oversized black sunglasses for comfort. We think Rue would go for a unisex style like the Chimi 4L sunglasses that offers just the right amount of coverage while remaining fashionable. 



Known for her whimsical style and otherwordly look, Jules, played by Hunter Schafer, continues to serve avant-garde looks that work effortlessly for her character. Not one to be afraid of mismatching textiles and layering, Jules's style matches her free-spirited attitude perfectly. As Jules's aesthetic is a mix of fantasy e-girl with an 80s daydream feel, we think Jules would gravitate towards a pair of eccentric sunglasses that exemplify her cool-girl persona. We can see Jules wearing the Epokhe Trinity sunglasses, which play on the very-much-in sci-fi wraparound trend.




Unlike his other fashionable cast members, Nate, who is played by Jacob Elordi, isn't known for his out-there sense of style. Instead, he dresses casually and simplistically, which coincides with his elusive, dark personality. Nate's sense of style is typical of an American high school jock whose effort doesn't surpass a t-shirt, jeans and low-top sneakers. For this reason, we think Nate would go for a more classic style that maintains an element of coolness. We could see Nate wearing the Ray-Ban New Wayfarer sunglasses, which complements his perplexing demeanour a little too well.

Lexi, who is played by Maude Apatow, is one of the most underrated characters on the show who we can all agree needs more air time (plus we want to see more Fez and Lexi). While not the most prominent figure in the show, her understated sense of style and relatable personality keeps the audience captivated. Unlike her friends, Lexi is the type who likes to stay in the shadows, but that's not to say her style is any less interesting than her fashionable cast members. Lexi's sense of style is classic and feminine as she frequently dresses in vintage-looking dresses and tailored pants paired with statement-collar tops. For a pair of sunglasses that have a vintage feel while remaining on-trend, we could see Lexi wearing the Le Specs Work It! sunglasses in the tortoiseshell colourway - a chic 90s oval pair with unmatched sophistication.



Played by Barbie Ferreria, Kat Hernandez, more than any other character, has had the most dramatic fashion evolution throughout the show. Finding a sense of self was a strong focal point in Kat's character development in season one. We saw her quiet and insecure character flourish into a sassy and all-commanding personality as she found a new sense of confidence through her dominatrix alter-ego. Her new outlook on life was reflected through her choice of clothing, where she embraced her body and let her clothes show off her very best assets. Rocking small independent designers with a gothic element to her look, Kat would go for a dramatic pair of small cat-eye shades to compliment her unique style. We can see Kat wearing the Valley Dayze sunglasses, a sharp cat-eye style that reflects the brand's signature glam-goth style.




The Internet's latest crush, Fez, played by Angus Cloud, is the resident drug dealer and close friend of the show's protagonist, Rue. His too cool for school demeanour and laidback personality is reflected through his signature streetwear style, comprised of vintage pieces like 90s Coogee sweaters and skate brands like Supreme and Palace. Not afraid to accessorise, Fez is frequently spotted with gold chains to compliment his underground sense of style, which is why we can see Fez wearing the Versace VE4361 sunglasses, a nod to hip-hop icon Biggie Smalls. The VE4361's have an opulent gold Medusa feature on the temple completed by an on-trend geometric shape. 




Season two of HBO's Euphoria has finally aired, we've put together sunglass styles we think the cast of Euphoria would wear so you can steal their look.

What better way to celebrate love than looking back at the most loved and iconic sunglasses worn throughout history. From the famous round sunglasses fondly referred to as the "John Lennon glasses" to Hunter S. Thompson's signature aviator's that made their way onto the big screen, these are some of the styles that played a part in shaping pop culture and fashion alike.


Keep reading to find out more about these famous sunglass styles and those who wore them as we break down their influence on fashion and where you can steal their look.

Jacqueline Kennedy's tortoiseshell sunglasses

Former first lady and style icon of her time, Jacqueline Kennedy was the fashion inspiration for many women due to her sophisticated and polished look. One of Kennedy's most distinct fashion accessories were her oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses that she was frequently photographed wearing. While her chic shades were from the french brand François Pinton, many brands have made renditions of the wildly-popular style including Ray-Ban, which subsequently named their version after the American socialite herself, the Jackie Ohh RB4101 and the Jackie Ohh II RB4098.

Get the look with the Ray-Ban Jackie Ohh II RB4101 sunglasses



Perhaps no other pair gives us Nineties nostalgia quite like the white sunglasses Kurt Cobain famously wore in a photoshoot with photographer, Jesse Frohman in 1993. Much like the grunge band itself, these sunglasses had a hold over the young, angsty teens of the 90s. The distinct "alien" style shades quickly became the most recognisable totem of Cobain's rebellious persona, becoming a symbol for the misfits and eccentric nonconformists. In recent years, the original designer of the iconic sunnies, Christian Roth, decided to bring back the white sunglasses. While difficult to obtain the limited edition style, many brands have continued to take inspiration from the lead singer of Nirvana's iconic look. 



Get the look with the Raen Ashtray sunglasses



Lennon's eyewear of choice were small rounded sunglasses. This simple accessory worn frequently by the famous singer's became a key component of his look, as well as frequenting the music videos of the Beatle's most popular songs. While the tea shape style sunglasses had certainly been around before Lennon's time, he remains strongly associated with round metal sunglasses due to their profound influence on pop culture and fashion in the early 60s and onwards. Today, round metal sunglasses remain as popular as ever, whether that can be accredited to the famous Beatle or the flattering style itself.


Get the look with the Ray-Ban RB3447 sunglasses



Breakfast at Tiffany's gave us a multitude of iconic looks that perfectly encapsulate fashionable femininity. From the perfect up-do, the little black dress, the adornment of pearls, and of course, her signature cat-eye sunglasses, Hepburn's appearance in the 1962 film has remained a prominent reference for fashion. Her large tortoiseshell sunglasses complimented her outfit perfectly, adding an element of mystery and allure while remaining a glamorous accessory to tie the look together. Like Hepburn's look, oversized cat-eye shades are truly timeless.


Get the look with the Oliver Peoples Filu OV5472SU sunglasses



American movie star and one of the best-dressed men of all time, Steve McQueen, famously sported a pair of Persol sunglasses in the original 1968 film, The Thomas Crown Affair. Originally, the acetate pilot-style sunglasses were never intended on the big screen, but when McQueen stepped on set wearing his pair of Persol 714s, the producer decided to incorporate them into his character's style. Naturally, the effortlessly cool shades became one of the enduring images of the film, embodying a dapper, understated style. Recently, Persol brought back the legendary style named after the actor, the 0PO0714SM Steve McQueen sunglasses which come in a variety of colourways.


Get the look with the 0PO0714SM Steve McQueen sunglasses



Hunter S. Thompson's yellow lens aviators

Known for many things among his gonzo-style journalism and his turbulent lifestyle illustrated in the film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp, one of Hunter's most defining characteristics is his yellow-tinted aviator sunglasses. The distinct yellow sunglasses fitted with Bausch & Lomb Kalichrome C Yellow lenses were first developed specifically for shooters and hunters, however, Thompson famously made them part of his everyday look. Named the "Shooter" style, the aviators feature a circular hole on the nose bridge which Thompson used to hold cigarettes. The famous Ray-Ban style is still available to shop as the Ray-Ban 3138 Shooter sunglasses, however, if you're after the signature yellow lens look, we suggest the pair below.

The Most-Loved Shades of All Time | Just Sunnies Australia

Fashion in 2021 was all about refresh and reset, grasping for normality and a positive outlook after the events of the year prior, resulting in vibrant and colourful clothing and accessories that dominated the industry. Larger than life sunglasses were in and small were out, while brightly coloured frames trumped the neutral-colour supremacy. Towards the end of the year, the "post-pandemic" optimism held so tightly at the beginning started to shift, as did our approach to fashion.

With ongoing uncertainty, time became a valuable commodity. Dressing fabulously for any occasion while maintaining a look of simplicity and ease became a priority. In 2022, the mentality for fashion and accessories is that "anything goes", blurring the line between what's "in" and "out" for trends. Nothing is too outlandish or casual this year, hence the resurgence of a few eyewear trends some may be surprised to see.

Our top picks for little black sunglasses

In 2022, anything goes when it comes to fashion. Read our predicitions of the biggest sunglass trends we expect to see this year.

Love or loathe her, there's no denying that Kim Kardashian knows how to create a buzz in the world of fashion and pop culture. Last Monday, Kim stepped out of the car and onto the Met Gala red carpet, concealed head to toe. While most were confused with her interesting outfit choice at the biggest fashion event of the year, many praised her for her innovative adaptation of the American-based theme.




While not much to gather fashion inspiration from, her after-party look showed a slightly more revealing outfit by pairing a form-fitting catsuit with black mask-like sunglasses. We predicted that shields would make a comeback in 2021.  However, when it comes to this daring shape, it seems that big and bold is better according to the queen of social media, and we're not mad about it! Get the Kimmy K look with our favourite oversized shield styles from brands like Versace, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana.

Kim K Met Gala After Party Shield Sunglasses | Just Sunnies

Kim Kardashian's Met Gala After Party Look: Oversized Shields

Structured power suits, a well-balanced blend of black and leopard print, gold-plated everything and slightly provocative leather; 90s fashion was a revival of luxury merged with sexy sophistication and sharp tailoring. In the era of supermodels, grunge and minimalist elegance, there is no denying that fashion in the 90s had an extroverted and confident demeanour. 

No other fashion powerhouse of the time matched this energy quite like Versace who arguably redefined fashion's contribution to pop culture. In the height of hip-hop, no one showed more loyalty to Versace than rap icon Notorious B.I.G who was regularly spotted wearing Medusa-embellished thick black frames. Recently, Versace has brought back their iconic frames that personified 90s high fashion, including a take on the shades Biggie frequently donned. Keep reading to get an insight into Versace's nostalgic sunglasses that remain as fashionable now as they were thirty years ago. 

The Versace VE4361 sunglasses evoke the opulent style of the Notorious B.I.G through thick frames and the heritage Medusa symbol adorning the temples. Biggie wore his signature frames in many of his interviews and public appearances, he even wore them in a few of his music videos including the clip for one of his biggest hits, "Hypnotize". 


Biggie's infatuation with Versace is well noted, he attended many of the runway shows in Paris and became good friends with Donatella Versace. Biggie bridged the gap between urban style and high fashion and was credited with championing the brand by Donatella herself. 

Reminiscent of Versace's Spring 1996 collection comprised of a neon-bright palette of bright greens, oranges, yellows and pinks in monochromatic clothing and sunglasses, the Versace VE4361 sunglasses are also available in eye-catching neon colours.



The Gold-Tone 90s Vintage Logo Collection

Revisiting the revival of luxury in the 90s, the Versace VE4377, VE4378 and VE4379 sunglasses feature a gold-tone vintage logo on the temples. Versace is known for opulent masculine and feminine silhouettes; these sunglasses emulate the iconic style of the Versace powerhouse and assure us that the 90s revival is here to stay.

Going back to the 90s, see the Versace sunglass styles that influenced fashion and pop culture of the time.

The countdown is on. In only a few months, thousands of people will flock to the North Byron Parklands in November for one of Australia’s most iconic festivals; Splendour in the Grass. A festival that gathers some of the biggest local and international acts for a three-day extravaganza of sun, dancing and music.

As is the way with any festival, fashion is a crucial part of the vibe. Typically, Splendour draws a boho look that echoes the aesthetic of the neighbouring towns such as Byron Bay, Lennox Heads and Bangalow. However, there is certainly no shortage of glitter that goes around as well.

For a full day in the sun, your sunglasses are absolutely essential. Not only do they offer the practical benefit of protecting your eyes, but they also add a crucial element to your festival look. Looking at the trends from earlier festivals this year, here are our top sunglasses picks for Splendour in the Grass.

Tinted shades are all the rage right now. A call back to an era gone by, if vintage is your style then these sunnies are totally for you. The Bang sunglasses by Valley are an oversized aviator shape with an on-trend orange tint that will make you the envy of all retro fashion lovers. These shades have the ability to transform any outfit and have an effortless cool-girl vibe. 

Who better to honour at a music festival than Kurt Cobain? His iconic shades have made a comeback in style and Raen brings them to life with Figurative. The classic rounded shape is impossible to miss and will undoubtedly have heads turning when you get grooving at Splendour. 

Step aside roundies, there is a new player in town.
