Best tiny sunglasses for women

While summer is a while away, that doesn’t mean we can’t plan ahead by snapping up the hottest shades on and off the catwalk.

If you haven’t heard already, tiny sunglasses are the only shades you'll be needing in your accessory arsenal. Just ask Kim Kardashian, who recently received an email from her husband Kanye West telling her to stop wearing big sunglasses, writing that “it’s all about tiny little glasses”.

And he couldn’t be more right. Designers including Balenciaga, Anya Hindmarch and Adam Selman sent models down the runway sporting the 90s trend and the likes of Kendall Jenner, Rihanna and Gigi Hadid (to name a few) have given their seal of approval.

Ready to make the switch? Here are our favourite miniscule sunglasses, from high-street to high-end.

Le Specs' 'The Last Lolita' sunglasses

A collaboration between Adam Selman and cult Australian label Le Specs, these exaggerated cat-eye frames are made up of soft charcoal-tinted lenses and thick black acetate frames. We love how the sleek angular points bring attention to the eyes. Providing 100 per cent UV protection, they’re a hit with Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Leandra Medine. They also come with a tough protective case, making them handbag-friendly.

Here, dark-tinted lenses are met by slim arms with curved temple tips and moulded nose pads for a comfortable fit. You get some slight UV protection, but not enough for bright sun rays.

PrettyLittleThing White Thin Retro Sunglasses

Here’s a budget-friendly dupe of the Andy Wolf frames worn by Rihanna at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. Featuring teeny tiny frames that Kanye West would no doubt approve of, this design pairs well with pastel-coloured clothing – think lilac and light blue.
