The secret to elevating your look is with the right fashion accessory. A nice pair of sunglasses for example, can totally change an outfit’s vibe.
Etro’s new eyewear collection offers elegant designs in standout angular shapes.
Materials like acetate and metal make for an edgy combination – one that defines modern sophistication.
Slightly oversized frames are popular right now. You can also consider a wraparound model, which celebrities tend to favour.
Colour sunglasses are no longer considered retro. With the 1960s trend making a comeback, big stars like Dua Lipa, Kaia Gerber and Kendall Jenner have embraced it.
Even Jeff Satur, Ray-Ban’s ambassador for Thailand, is on board with this. He appears in a campaign wearing square shades with rose-tinted lenses.

For less-than-conventional designs, look for collaborative collections. Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna Gvasalia, conceptualised a unique one for Italian singer Mina.
The lens (made out of one continuous piece) – inspired by Mina’s signature eye makeup – come lasered with her autograph on the inside of one temple, alongside an exclusive QR code that unlocks a new music track L’Amore Vero.
To borrow looks from the runway, there is the shades from Fendi. Models wore it during the Autumn/Winter 2024 fashion show in Milan.
This chic design features a flat-top design with a metal bar, which is both timeless and eye-catching.
For those who are a little more sporty, there is the Carrera Ducati collection. It takes inspiration from the iconic design of Ducati’s most high-performance bike model, the Panigale V4.
Each design from the brand is perfect anyone searching for a bold yet sporty accessory to complete their everyday look.
