Sheer Shades

Step over solid wayfarers, in the spotlight this summer are your colourful cousins, the translucent sunnies. From Marc Jacobs and UNIF (shown above) to Lucky Brand and Forever 21, clear tinted sunglasses are popping up everywhere. Remember Balenciaga's spring collection of 2007? Each of Nicolas Ghesquière's looks were paired with clear frames inspired by The Terminator. Taking a more vibrant stance this summer, plastic returns to grace your face in bright, but not overwhelming hues. The tint subtly adds colour to your outfit without being too distracting. Want to try out the trend this summer? I've picked out five pairs from Urban Outfitters to get you started.
