As instant outfit updaters, a good pair of sunnies is an invaluable fashion investment. And while the classic styles — we’re talking wayfarers, clubmasters and aviators — will forever have a place on our dressing tables, the enviable street style at NZFW has us feeling the need to ramp up the drama and treat our peepers to something a little out of left field. So, turning to who else but Elton and Edna for inspiration, we’re stepping up our eyewear game and giving something snazzier a go with these fab frames. Unapologetically out there, you know what they say — go big or go home.
