These sunglasses are totally hot! The oversized design will suit most face shapes and the one lens visor style will add a cool retro edge to any outfit.

Tommy Hilfiger Aviators
These Tommys are designed for men but they are also suitable for women if you have a wider face or need a larger lens size (eg: there are lots of women who shop for the ‘Large’ Ray Ban aviator because the ‘Small’ and ‘Regular’ do not fit).
Featuring a classic red, white and blue plastic full rim and super thick nose bridge, these boyish frames are kinda too cool for words. Get the Tommy Hilfiger TH 1316/S sunglasses now, available in 4 funky designs!

Did somebody say “70s”? These shades are very Don Cheadle-esque and teamed with some funky boho prints and big 70s hair (think Farrah Fawcett), you’ll be a chic catwalk throwback.
