Playful sunglasses are this year’s street style must-have and there are so many styles, colours, shapes and designs to choose from if you love this trend as much as we do! Inspired by the runways – but formulated on the streets – the ‘funglasses’ look is all about being light-hearted and carefree with your eyewear choices. The perfect opportunity to delight your inner child – it’s fun, it’s playful, it’s anything but serious.
Think primary colours that take you back to kindergarten. Exaggerated silhouettes that are both simple and bold. As well as big chunky frames that make you stand out from the crowd. Funglasses turn heads….pick the right pair and you can transform an outfit in an instant.
Looking to be inspired? Here are some of our favourite playful sunglasses for spring/summer:
Moschino MOS128/S
We simply cannot talk about funglasses without Moschino. Renowned for its playful take on fashion, this popular house has always delivered in terms of accessories. These Moschino MOS128/S frames have become an icon in the eyewear category, making a comeback year after year. Because love never goes out of style darling!
Giorgio Armani AR8178
Invest in a pair of showstoppers this summer with the Giorgio Armani AR8178 playful sunglasses. Designed with an exaggerated top bar for ultimate drama, with a seamless frame front that ties the whole look together. Plus a modernised tortoiseshell to add some transitional edge to your outfit.
These sunglasses are a must for anyone who likes to be different, or if you want to elevate your wardrobe in 2023.
Swarovski SK0380
With the recent passing of the late (and great) Paul O’Grady, it only makes sense for us to celebrate his life with a pair of Lily Savage sunglasses (after his drag alter-ego). The fun, flirty and flamboyant Swarovski SK0380 sunglasses are crystal-studded for extra stage pzazz and presence, and come in three fabulous colours to suit your wardrobe.
Prada PR 15YS
We love the colour lensed Prada PR 15YS sunglasses with a chunky all-black frame front. With a cool geo silhouette, they’re perfect for framing your face and highlighting your cheekbones. They’re also made with a certain level of simplicity in mind, meaning ‘youthful’ and ‘grown-up’ can now belong in the same sentence.
These playful sunglasses are definitely on trend for 2023, but we think they’ll go the extra mile when it comes to matching with more timeless outfits. Trust us – you’ll get plenty of wear out of them!
Karl Lagerfeld KL6088S
Primary colours are great for the playful sunglasses trend. They remind us of simpler times and have an air of innocence about them. They’re also ideal for adding a fresh pop of colour to a monochrome ensemble, instantly brightening up your vibe for the spring/summer season.
We think these Karl Lagerfeld KL6088S frames are totally versatile too, giving you ample opportunity to show them off.
Versace VE2235
Green is a fun colour to try this year, with a whole spectrum of greens that could work with your day-to-day attire. This Versace VE2235 frame is a funky take on funglasses, combining metal and plastic for a unique hybrid shell, a runway-ready transparent frame front and temples, finished with a classic Versace logo.
