Zendaya was recently photographed wearing a pair of Le Specs Honey Pot sunglasses, priced at $75, styled with jeans and a T-shirt for an off-duty look.
The slim, Y2K-inspired frame has a softly rounded profile and hybrid shape meant to suit a range of face shapes. Zendaya's choice marks a shift away from the bug-eye shields and dramatically oversized frames that dominated eyewear this past summer, toward a slimmer, retro-leaning silhouette for fall.
Why Fashion Week Matters for the Trend
New York Fashion Week takes place each September and gives a preview of the fashions that will arrive on runways next spring, though the street style captured outside the shows often signals what people are already wearing right now. Stars seated front row frequently wear flash-blocking sunglasses, and retro frames like Zendaya's are tipped to be a common sight at New York Fashion Week as a result.
Unlike a fleeting runway trend, slim, retro-style sunglasses are versatile enough for both days off and dressier occasions, and each of the pairs below retails for under $100.
