Best known for its big, bold and beautiful sunglasses, Gucci has been the epitome of cool for over a century. The brand started life in Florence in 1881 but didn’t launch its iconic eyewear range until the 1960s. While the brand has enjoyed perennial popularity, the release of the American biopic, House of Gucci, this year has sent searches and sales soaring. Now, it seems, is the time to invest in a pair of those much sought-after frames. With hundreds of styles to choose from and designs to suit every face shape and preference, we’ve rounded up seven cool Gucci sunglasses for women.
Gucci Statement Oval Sunglasses – GG0208S
Gucci’s signature oval sunnies are a steal at Sunglasses Hut, where you can pick up a pair for less than $300. Dramatic, timeless and infinitely glamorous, the glasses feature a chunky acetate frame available in tortoiseshell or sleek black. The oval glasses shape will soften and flatter more angular features too, which explains their universal popularity. The frames feature a metallic applique design on the arms with a matching bee element at the tips for added character. The lenses offer 100% UV/UVB protection. From $247.50.

These sleek octagonal glasses are both big and barely there. The glasses combine a thin gold metal frame with an almost transparent lens. It’s actually made of a photochromic blue light coating that is specifically designed to reduce the amount of blue light that reaches the eye. The lenses will remain transparent in normal to dark light and darken in bright light, which means they’re just as suitable for the office as they are for the beach. The simple gold frames feature embellished details for a designer touch too. If you purchase a pair from Fashion Eyewear, you can choose from three jewel-toned velvet cases. From $357.

Lenses offer 100% UVA/UVB protection and also feature a photochromic filter, which means they change from light pink to burgundy when exposed to sunlight. From $360.
