While there are many components that make up a good wardrobe, there's one item that makes or breaks a look like no other — sunglasses. They're relatively small in size compared to voluminous dresses and practical denim, but they have just as much impact. Some of today's biggest style stars consistently wear them on and off duty, from Rihanna's love for Gucci tinted frames to Hailey Bieber's go-to black shades as she enters her mom era.

The eyewear game on the Spring 2024 runways also dictates some of the year's biggest trends. Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton's latest presentation elevated cowboy core with deconstructed suits paired with 70s-esque black and yellow sunglasses. While Rick Owens and The Row emphasized the staying power of black sunglasses through 3-D lenses. Dsquared2 continues fashion's obsession with futurism as models wore oversize shades.
