Glam sunnies - what brands?

54 replies

FancyShades · 12/04/2026 12:38

I’m looking to buy a very glamorous pair of sunglasses.

In the past I’ve had Tom Ford Whitney in black, which I really liked, and I’ve got a pair of aviators from Tiffany that are lovely. I don’t suit Ray Bans. I’ve got a sporty pair of Oakley’s for sports.

Any ideas? As mentioned, looking for a glamorous pair. Not thinking of a budget at the moment. I don’t mind a bit of bling, but not too much!

I like my Prada ones.

Glam sunnies?

Are you going to a retro event featuring Glam rock bands ?

That's the only excuse for using a term like Glam sunnies surely?

Everyone needs a pair of glam sunnies! I don’t have any at the moment despite having about 10 pairs but I’m on the look out!

I will never understand how people like you stray onto this board.

Gucci do the best big sunnies.

Chanel. Massive. Black. Chanel.

I bought mine in Paris and because my eyes water in wind and cold I wear mine most days. I bloody love them!

Because when I go to the MN website my home page is Featured.
And sometimes the top Featured item is one from the Style and Beauty Board.
As this one was today.

And I was just so taken aback that an adult would actually use a term like Glam Sunnies I commented.

Generally I avoid the Style and Beauty topic because I find it truly depressing.
But I honestly think some of the fashionistas on the board need a few comments from ordinary people to balance their obsession.

I don’t understand what is wrong with the term ‘glam sunnies’? It communicates well what the OP is looking for.

@Classiclines you genuinly are being incredibly rude.

I have massively sensitive eyes, so wear sunglasses even when cloudy. Windy days reduce me to tears quite literally. Am sure there are judges, but I don't care. Am building up a collection via Vinted, with different colour frames to suit whatever outfit I'm wearing.

My favourite pair were from Chloe. Absolutely devastated to lose them somewhere and never been able to find any I like since. Keep us update OP I bloody love a big glam pair of sunnies

PRPrincess · 12/04/2026 14:37

I love Tom Ford and Prada but I’m excited as one of my favourite influencers, Hannah Saunders, is bringing out her own range of sunglasses. She is so chic and stylish so i expect great things from her.

Saint Lauren
I've got cat eye prescription ones and I love them.

Thank you for your concern but we are all okay thanks 🤩

I have Chloe, Prada and Givenchy glam ones. The latter was picked up in TK Maxx and had diamanté lettering on the side (a lot of which has now worn off!). I lose sunglasses too though so just buy cheapies too.
