Retro Flattop
For those wanting an edgy look to their eyewear, a pair of flattop sunglasses will do the trick. These frames from SUPER by RETROSUPERFUTURE at Nordstrom (1453 Saint Louis Galleria, 314-884-4900; West County Center, 47 West County Center, 314-255-2000) feature a matte, black acetate finish and lend a retro vibe to whatever you’re wearing. Square-top frames have been popular for the past few years, and the trend continues to grace the fashion runways. Aside from their looks, these glasses provide plenty of coverage and shield the upper-half of the face from UV rays and autumn's swift breezes. What to wear? Go casual and pair them with a beanie, plain tee, denim, and a leather jacket.
Futuristic Aviators
Reflective lenses aren’t just for the heat. Consider these chic “Dior Technologic” shades by Christian Dior (dior.com), which seem to be on everyone’s list for the fall and winter months. Black temples and metal rims make them ideal for winter, while the bridge and exaggerated top bar lend a fashion-forward look. It's a futuristic twist on the classic aviator style shade with silver mirrored lenses. Wear them to make a bold statement, or as an everyday shade. Pair them with an oversized wool coat and you're ready to go!
Cat-Eye
From the runway to Main Street, cat-eye sunglasses have been all the rage this year. And there’s no need to store them for the season. While the shape is most flattering on those with a heart-shaped face, there are plenty of sunglasses that incorporate a cat-eye lens without an upwardly slanted frame. These tortoise shell shades from Express (2460 Saint Louis Galleria, 314-863-4433; West Country Center, 158 West County Center 314-984-0966) feature a rounded bottom and will therefore suit most face shapes. Go modern and rock them with a long fur gilet and leather leggings on chilly mornings.
