At the start of the summer we noticed a distinct trend in eyewear – one that was being aggressively promoted on social media by “influencers” like the Kardashians. This trend was for micro sunglasses, those super narrow, modern cat eye styled frames that were inspired by the 1990s.

Now summer has fully arrived and the sun’s rays are stronger, more people seem to be tending towards a different shape of frame. As seen on celebrities like Taylor Swift in recent days, circular or round-framed sunglasses seem to be gaining in popularity.

We are happy to provide options and we would never dream of making you choose, which is why we carry both styles in our Le Specs range. The Australian brand which launched in 1979 offers both micro styles such as The Last Lolita and The Scandal through their collaboration with US designer Adam Selman and round frames like the Ovation under their main line.

The choice is easy.
