These fun shades go full circle – literally. Clearly 70s inspired, this pair – designed in collaboration with popstar Zayn Malik – adds a modern, edgy twist to the infamous round frames, and comes in an array of color combinations. Make them yours if you wanna add a sophisticated pop of color to your otherwise monochromatic looks – though it appears the transparency of the lenses is fashionable rather than functional. They might make up for that with their holistic devotion to sustainability.

Now, these are really not for the faint of heart (or the broke). But anyone who loves to draw a little bit of attention to themselves and loves a good Naughties re-enactment will fall in love with these Versace shades. Complete with Medusa logo and a head strap, this right-off-the-runway piece is for fashion aficionados and aficionadas only. Versace is on the forefront of fashion’s ethics and sustainability conversation, though this apparently pertains more so to their clothes and leather goods, not yet to other accessories.

✔️Unique Frame

✔️Large size (XXL (60-16))

Not unlike an aforementioned model, these QUAYs encompass the now. Their reflective aquamarine-ombré lenses and thick frame emulate the kind of urban-cyborg-on-vacation-vibe that you’re seeing on every magazine page these days. Unfortunately, the ratio of customers complaining about flaws and defects is high in comparison to the other vendors here, and with the sheer amount of styles and collabs, one can’t help but think they are more so on the fast fashion side of eyewear, and thus not particularly green.
🟩Price : £57

✔️Polished frame
✔️Mirrored lenses

Another highly stylish offering comes from the famed house of Armani. These razor-sharp shades are sure to help the party girl wearing them protrude from the crowd. The geometrical, high design-look of these green, blue or violet glasses work for raves as much as they do for strolls along the promenade. So far, the brand’s sustainability efforts apply to specific capsules, and are not yet overarching.
🟩Price : £178
Specifications:
✔️Acetate frame
✔️Polyamide lenses
✔️Narrow fit – High bridge fit
