oversized sunglasses

Large tinted lenses

Oversized sunglasses are sunglasses with frames and lenses noticeably larger than standard styles, often covering much of the upper face.

The look became iconic through mid-century Hollywood glamour and remains associated with celebrity style and paparazzi avoidance: She hid behind oversized sunglasses at the airport.

The exaggerated size offers more sun protection but primarily serves as a fashion statement.
