Tiny sunglasses are back in style, replacing oversized frames. Celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Rihanna are leading this retro revival.
Last time, we chronicled the very Kanye moment of Kim Kardashian being sent an email from her rapper husband to ultimately ban her from wearing oversized sunglasses. Knowing how much of fashion junkie the power couple are, it was only a matter of time before they started changing the way the accessorized based on the season’s trends. If you’ve noticed, all the rage has been surrounding one ‘90s staple—tiny sunglasses.
It girls like Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, and Suki Waterhouse have been obsessed with this trend. Bella Hadid even took it to the red carpet several times from Dior shows to Off-White.

A quick look through nostalgic photos of Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, and Destiny’s Child will give you an idea; with smaller frames, it’s a nod to futurism and of course, an ode to minimalism.
