Who says you have to pack away your designer sunglasses come fall? While you’re thinking about cashmere, coats and new knits, we’ve rounded up the best designer sunglasses to add to your fall wardrobe and compliment any fall outfit.
Fall is synonymous with fashion. Neutral tones, bold textured accessories and Fashion Week. One thing it’s not synonymous with? Sunglasses. When the days get cooler and we break out the layers, we typically put our sunglasses in their cases to rest after a long summer.
TOTEME Havana Aviators
Thanks to brands like The Row and cultural phenomenons like Succession, we’ve seen a rise in the popularity of quiet luxury – the art of wearing non-fussy, elevated basics. TOTEME is the epitome of timeless, minimal, high quality pieces and these sunglasses are no exception. Aviators are a classic silhouette, and paired with tortoise shell frames, these glasses scream understated elegance.
How to wear them? Aviators have been around since the dawn of sunglasses and can often make an outfit seem… ordinary. Try mixing things up by pairing them with a knee length denim short, high boots, a white tank and blazer for a mix and matched fall look.
Acne Studios Metal Frame Sunglasses
Post grunge is here to stay with Acne Studios FW23 campaign. Shot by Carlijn Jacobs and featuring reality star and makeup mogul Kylie Jenner, the campaign features denim, purses and of course, one of our favorite designer sunglasses for fall.
Kylie wears both the clear and black pair in the campaign, and while black is the obvious choice for fall, we’re loving the look of clear frames with a classic fall fit.
How to wear them? Sunglasses this unique deserve an outfit that allows them to be the star of the show. Pair these with an oversized pair of black jeans and a white tank, and layer with an off-black leather jacket for the perfect futuristic fall look.
Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1969C Sunglasses
In a year where trends like “quiet luxury” and the “old money aesthetic” have rained supreme, Khaite has cemented itself as the brand to wear in 2023. Between perfecting denim and creating cashmere sweaters to die for, they’ve released one of the best collaborations of the year – their sunglasses line with Oliver Peoples.
Our favorite ‘It Girl’ Sofia Richie was recently spotted wearing these frames in black and gold, and they’ve been on our wishlist ever since.
How to wear them? These glasses are effortlessly chic. Pair them with an off the shoulder cashmere sweater, low-rise flare denim, a pair of boots and a mid-sized tote bag for that off-duty model look.
Bottega Veneta Angle Acetate Cat-Eye Sunglasses
Cat eye frames are back with a vengeance and we love these Bottega Veneta’s. They’re a classic silhouette with a modern twist – the black frames are subtle enough to pull off on your way to the office, or go green and head to an art gallery opening with friends.
These frames come in a range of colors and are sure to spice up any outfit and bring a little fun into your otherwise muted, everyday fall wardrobe.
Le Specs Tres Gauche Sunglasses
If you’re looking to up your designer sunglasses game, Le Specs is synonymous with eyewear and a necessary edition to any wardrobe.
This pair is our most quintessential pick for our favorite designer sunglasses for fall. They are classic tortoiseshell frames with tinted green lenses, and would look perfect paired with a crisp white t-shirt, your favorite pair of denim and a blazer or your go-to leather jacket.
Every pair of Le Specs is hand polished and exceptionally manufactured, ensuring your new sunnies will last you a lifetime.
How to wear them? These frames are perfect for an every day outfit. We’d suggest pairing them with a denim mini skirt, brown knee high boots, well-fitted white tee, a light brown shearling jacket and your favorite gold jewelry for the perfect quintessential fall outfit.
What to Look for in a pair of Designer Sunglasses?
Make Sure They Fit Into Your Wardrobe and Lifestyle
A good pair of designer sunglasses is a staple piece in any wardrobe that if taken care of, can last you a lifetime. When making the decision to invest in a pair of designer sunglasses, be sure they fit into both your wardrobe and your lifestyle. There’s nothing worse than meticulously putting together an outfit, and realizing your sunglasses don’t fit into the wardrobe you’ve curated.
While it can be tempting to purchase a pair of sunglasses simply because of their designer label, make sure your pieces fit into your wardrobe, can be worn with a multitude of outfits, and will be wearable for decades to come.
