The Ultimate Fashion Accessory for Effortless Style – Statement Sunglasses

The ultimate fashion accessory for effortless chic would have to be a pair of Statement Sunglasses. Firstly, fabulous sunglasses can make almost any outfit look instantly and effortlessly more stylish: a simple dress, jeans and a white tee, a monochromatic ensemble or even the ever-popular athleisure wear. Secondly, you can also hide or distract from almost anything with a pair of statement sunglasses, making yourself look instantly pulled together.

If you are searching for the one fashion accessory for an effortless and elegant look. Then you can’t really go past a fabulous pair of statement sunglasses.

Fashion Icons and Statement Sunglasses

There are several fashion icons whose style transcends time. They evoke timeless, elegant, chic, classic and effortless words. There are no more so than the following fashion icons who all love a gorgeous pair of statement sunglasses;

Jackie O

Firstly, statement oversized sunglasses became popular in the 60s when First Lady Jackie Kennedy started wearing them to keep a discreet profile. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, after her marriage to Aristotle Onassis, Jackie O created a timeless style statement that was clearly adored. To this day, her unique style continues to inspire designers. Her signature look was oversized sunglasses, and they were so popular that Ray-Ban® created two pairs of sunglasses in her honour,  Ray-Ban® Jackie Ohh and Ray-Ban® Jackie Ohh II.

Audrey Hepburn

There was also the iconic Audrey Hepburn, who knew what it meant to be simple, classic, and effortlessly chic. Who could forget her in Breakfast at Tiffany’s wearing her gorgeous oversized sunglasses?  Even now, her timeless style is truly inspirational.

Meghan Markle

There is no secret that I’m a huge fan of Meghan Markle’s (the Duchess of Sussex’s) effortless style. Meghan has been spotted wearing Karen Walker’s Northern Lights Sunglasses. Below, Meghan is wearing Le Specs – Air Heart style sunglasses before her baby shower in New York in February 2019. These sunglasses are incredibly similar to Audrey Hepburn’s in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” above; they have a fantastic price point and notoriously sell out as soon as they are released.

Amal Clooney

One of my favourite current fashion icons is the epitome of elegance and effortless style. She is a lawyer, author, activist and wife of George Clooney, the stunning Amal Alamuddin Clooney. There is no doubt that she always looks incredible and that oversized sunglasses are her trademark.

The Summary

A fabulous pair of sunglasses is a must-have in my minimalist wardrobe! More importantly, it is an essential investment-splurge item if you can! I’m not featuring the truly budget versions here; however, almost every high-street fashion label has a huge range of cheaper versions similar to the following.

Lastly, if you are worried that they will overwhelm your face, remember that statement sunglasses are available in different sizes and frame thicknesses. Therefore, there is definitely a pair for you! Just wear them almost everywhere and with confidence!

I hope you can find some inspiration for Statement Sunglasses, the ultimate fashion accessory for effortless chic, within my favourites below!
