Trend Report: Statement Sunglasses

Images L to R: WhoWhatWear, Karen Walker, Fashion Vibe

Forget your classic Rayban Wayfarer and aviator styles, when it comes to sunglasses right now it's all about making a statement; the crazier the better. This season retro cat-eye and round shapes take centre stage, as spotted on all of your favourite celebrities and fashionistas. Look for something with a bit of a twist; maybe it's a fun colour or pattern, or just something slightly unusual. Even with the simplest outfit, a great pair of statement shades will make you stand out.

For something quirky that won't break the bank look no further than local designer Karen Walker who's eyewear fan list includes style icons like Rihanna and Alexa Chung. Aussie brand Ksubi also have some great frames too - for something a little different try the Rana in animal and Bellatrix styles.

Here's some eye candy inspiration. Enjoy ...
