Get the look
What came as a surprise to absolutely no one, wraparound sunglasses in all shapes, sizes and colours dominated fashion week. With many testing the waters with dark coloured wraparounds when the eyewear trend started to take off, it seems we are now well and truly comfortable enough to go beyond black frames by experimenting with white and coloured frames and even mirrors. For the effortlessly cool Y2K look, we've rounded up a few of our favourite wraparounds that push the boundaries of what's considered fashionable.
