Elevating Your 2023 Winter Holiday Outfits with Sunglasses
Any fashionista would agree that even cold, frigid conditions can make for optimal moments to showcase your sense of style. For example, holiday parties give you a chance to dress up and embody the festive season through fully accessorized outfits. A previous post shows you how to achieve this through jewelry trends like glamorous long chain necklaces and statement-making one-sided earrings.
But besides parties, there are also winter holidays to look forward to. Whether skiing in the Alps or visiting popular cities like New York for Christmas, you’d want to wear equally fashionable and functional outfits so you can look stylish and still stay warm. Fortunately, sunglasses meet these exact demands, as these timeless accessories also help shield your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays that are present not only in the summer but all year round. Read on to discover styling tips for sunglasses this winter.
Tinted Frames for a Pop of Color
Among the top eyewear trends throughout 2023 are tinted frames, from bright yellow options from Loewe to the transparent pink and violet sunglasses that graced Tom Ford’s collections. This means if your outfits consist of minimalist or monochromatic pieces like a black leather jacket or a knit sweater in neutral tones, wearing beautifully bright tinted frames can add a pop of color. The frame material can also influence how bold and colorful your sunglasses would look, with acetate being a notable example of vividly transparent frames.
Polarized Sunglasses to Balance Style and Practicality
Instead of simply getting a regular pair, consider wearing polarized sunglasses with lenses that block glare for improved visual clarity and color contrast. This feature makes them suitable for winter holidays that involve outdoor activities like skiing and skating since they can reduce glare from reflective surfaces like snow. Top eyewear brand Ray-Ban offers polarized options for timeless frame styles like the Aviator and the Wayfarer, helping you balance style and practicality when wearing equally classic winter pieces like fur-lined coats, dark trousers, and suede boots.
Statement Shades for Something Bold and Fun
If you’re going somewhere far away, like a foreign country, for your winter holiday, it’s the perfect opportunity to experiment with your looks and try something bold and fun. This means replacing your basic black frames with statement shades, like the ones popularized by none other than Beyoncé throughout her highly acclaimed Renaissance tour. Queen Bey matched her bedazzled Tiffany & Co sunglasses with a sparkly bodysuit, but you can opt for a cold weather-friendly ensemble by wearing a long sequined dress or flare trousers to shopping days and candle-lit dinners.
Cat-eye Sunnies to Stay Chic and Classy
Lastly, you can never go wrong with a pair of cat-eye sunnies from designer brands like Miu Miu, Prada, and Versace. Not only do they suit all types of face shapes and features, but they also add a touch of elegance to vintage-inspired winter outfits. If you spend the rest of your holidays in a romantic European country, you can perfectly channel your inner Audrey Hepburn by pairing staples like trench coats, silk scarves, and gloves with neutral-toned cat-eye frames.
As you see, you have many frame styles and lens options to choose from when it comes to accessorizing your winter holiday outfits through sunglasses. For more style guides and advice, continue reading Love Happens Magazine.
