The fashion team has already approved these sunglasses, and now it’s been proven that everyone is searching to shop them — it’s all about rectangular pairs this summer…
Protecting your eyes from the sun’s powerful rays during a heatwave, or summer in general, is of course essential. But you can also look pretty damn stylish in the process if you choose the right sunglasses.
We would hope you already own a pair of sunnies at this time of year, but if you’re on the look out (see what we did there) for a new pair, then we have the ones for you. In fact, we’ve found the ones that apparently everyone is eyeing up (sorry) lately. The shopping platform liketoknow.it has told us that searches for one particular pair has spiked, so much that it’s up 2,400% at the moment. The style is all about the 90s favourite sunglasses shape: rectangular.
The spring/summer 19 catwalk was filled with the pairs that are creating nostalgia among us, from Celine and Hugo Boss to Moschino. Naturally, they have since filtered into the A-lister’s accessory collections with Rihanna, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner (to name a few) all wearing the retro shades.
Not only are they flattering on most face shapes, you can also snap them up (depending on your preference and budget) at everywhere from H&M and Mango to Gucci and Karen Walker. Continue to see our edit of the best rectangular sunglasses to go with all your latest summer wares.

£17.99, Mango
Le Specs square-frame acetate sunglasses

If you think about the cost-per-wear over the years they’ll always end up being a justified purchase.
£270, Gucci
Dmybydmy orange Preston rectangular sunglasses
Rectangular sunglasses: Dmybydmy We’re imagining these with a linen dress, effortless flip flops and a mini bag. Alternatively, they look just as good with a statement floral maxi dress.
£130, Dmybydmy

Rectangular sunglasses: H&M In this season’s key shape, in classic fail-safe black and under £10. This H&M rectangular pair is a sure-fire accessory win.
