Pictorial 1 Dramatic, bold, eye-catching and fierce. Those are just some of the adjec- tives that can be used to describe oversized shades, which are a hot fashion accessory right now. The Vision Council’s Eyeces- sorize campaign says exag- gerated frames, funky shields and chic wraparounds are among the eyewear styles that have been spotted on fashion runways in New York, Paris and other fashion capitals. Oversized sunnies can also be a great way to protect the eyes from the sun’s powerful ultraviolet rays, which are just as dangerous in the winter months. 2 3 And the lenses of most big, bold shades feature a striking colour, which can cast a striking glow on the wearer’s face. Here are some exciting oversized frames that are now available in the Canadian marketplace. 4 5 1. Fendi Freedom FF 0382/S by Safilo. 2. Quentin Mestdagh + KOMONO glasses by KOMONO. 3.
