Bigger is often seen as better, and the only way, when it comes to sunglasses but now a newer, smaller trend is turning heads on the streets and the runways – and it is all too familiar. Cast your mind to the world of science-fiction and The Matrix, more specifically – Neo. His skinny-frame sunglasses are making a big splash in the fashion world.
The super-slim sunglasses were first spotted at Akris’ Spring/Summer show in 2016, and they soon became adored by street-style stars worldwide. Once Kendall Jenner was spotted donning Balenciaga’s take on Neo’s frames, it didn’t take long for other industry heads and celebs a like to start sporting the trend. How sun-smart they are is debatable, but slip, slop and slap with a hat and you can be flaunting the latest sunglasses trend.
Need some more inspo? Here’s our favourite pair and the well-known faces who make us adore the trend.
Sunglasses company District Vision has developed two new sunglasses styles specifically for athletes.
The two styles, Yukari Windshield and Nako Multisport, were put through a rigorous testing period that took into account different athletes’ eyewear requirements.
The result is two frames that will not only keep your eyes protected from things like wind, dust and UV rays, but will actually improve your training. The Windshield is designed with an extra-wide lens to enhance your peripheral vision, while the rounded top of the Nako Multisport extends the wearer’s upper field of view.
What’s more, they also look good. The sunglasses range from $199 to $219 and are available via District Vision’s store.
