Pearls, gems, and rhinestones, oh my! The latest trend amongst sunglasses is made for those who want to stand out. Bedazzled, bejeweled, and beautiful, glasses with bling are a great way to update your regular shades.
While there are plenty of over-the-top options for those ready to make a statement, there are just as many subtly sparkly substitutes. Use them to update your jeans-and-tee combo or set off your latest Instagram-ready outfit. This summer, the blingier the sunglass the better!
Updated cat eye
Everyone knows the classic cat-eye is a no-fail style that works hard to flatter most faces. The upward angle helps lift and show off cheekbones. Now we’re seeing a bold and much-needed upgrade. Glam it up with completely bedazzled shades or keep it subtle with tiny gold star details. Regardless, you’ll be making a statement.
You can take a more subtle approach to this trend with the classic shape accented with just a few rhinestones for a look that’s not as overwhelming. If you’re looking for a glamorous take on the feminine look, these Miu Miu frames are for you.
These Dolce & Gabbana glasses add layer after layer of oomph for those not afraid of being bold. In addition to an elaborate, gold detailing, the glasses are complete with oversized pearls to accentuate the sharp angle of cat-eye.
There’s nothing subtle about these clear acetate frames from Jimmy Choo. From the exaggerated oversized cat-eye shape to the tonal gemstones, these glasses pack a punch as well as the subtle Choo charm.
Accented rimless

Retro round

An oversized oval frame keeps these Kurt Cobain-inspired shapes from looking too ‘90s inspired grunge. Instead, the layers of rhinestones work perfectly against the tortoiseshell for an effortlessly glam, yet still edgy look.
