10. Michael Kors
There are two things that make Michael Kors a current favourite for eyewear and accessories; affordability and accessibility when it comes to trends. If you want a look that is fresh and ‘now’, Michael Kors is a great brand to try out. With everything from glamorous and chic to totally ‘out there’, or celebrity-inspired looks that are just très instagrammable. Right now, we’re loving the MICHAEL KORS 0MK5017 frames as inspired by social media’s favourite model, Kendall Jenner.
