With actress Meghan Markle and Prince Harry making their first official public appearance together at the games this year, we couldn’t miss taking a look at their eyewear!
Meghan wears some gorgeous round retro style sunnies, with tortoiseshell frames. They look great teamed with her oversized shirt and jeans combination. You can get her look with the Carducci Sun CD1049. These are a very similar style and probably at a much more reasonable cost!
Harry is wearing a tortoiseshell pair of wayfarer sunglasses, which once again have a retro feel to them. These style of sunglasses are super easy to wear and make a great everyday go-to pair.
Get the look with the Polaroid PLD 2049/S. These havana print sunnies also have green tinted lenses, which are fab for very bright light conditions.

You can’t go wrong with a decent pair of wraparound sports sunglasses which are great for an active lifestyle. Take a look at the American Air Force competitor above wearing a pair of white sports sunglasses during his running event.
Get the look with the Bolle Highwood. These sunglasses are made from a soft grip material which will keep them in place during a workout, and blue polarized lenses which will help protect eyes from glare.
