Fashion Girls Agree—These '90s Sunglasses Trends Are Back (and Better Than Ever)

The resurgence of the '90s in the fashion world is so widespread today that even when I was looking into the trends to feature in this story, I forgot that some were throwbacks and not something particularly new. I shouldn't be surprised, since fashion is circular and trends are always coming in and out of style, but the '90s hold on the fashion world is strong—and it's not letting go anytime soon, especially with eyewear.

With one look through red carpet and street style imagery from the past, you'd find plenty of sunglasses to add to your wardrobe for good. From Jennifer Lopez's rectangular frames to the almost-identical pairs today spotted all over Instagram, the revivals are happening, and I have a feeling they're staying for a while. I bought a pair of Adam Selman sunglasses based on the '90s vibe a few years ago, and they're still in my accessory rotation today, so I promise you'll get solid use out of the styles below. 

The rectangle shape has been having a moment this year and basically took over our Instagram feeds. It makes sense; they flatter practically everyone. Level up your sunglasses game with a fun-colored version because there's plenty on the market right now.

While I haven't seen circular shapes on the fashion scene in quite some time, oval frames are still around. They're a classic '90s style. Plus, who doesn't want to channel a little nostalgic Brad Pitt?

I personally never thought I'd be able to pull off sunglasses without a structured frame, but I think I may have to try it out again soon.

These may not be for everyone, but they're definitely one of our favorite "ugly" trends that have bubbled back this year. We saw them across the runways of Sportmax and Bottega Veneta, and there's no doubt they were influenced by the unique shapes music artists often wore in the '90s.

While tinted lenses surged in the '70s in oversize silhouettes, the '90s added their own flair to the style with tinier and more oval shapes.

The cat-eye is a classic in the realm of eyewear, but it's recently gotten an update to the '90s iteration. The current style going around has a more structured and angular shape rather than the curved one from before.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
