1. Rose-Tinted + All Black
This look is giving model-off-duty. She’s wearing rose-tinted, slim-frame shades with an all-black outfit, simple, clean, a bit edgy. With her beverage in hand, it’s the type of outfit that feels effortless but styled. The small-frame glasses soften the dark base while keeping the whole look modern.
2. Vintage Chanel Wraps + Fringe Boots
One of our favorite takes: a coordinated black look with a matching skirt and jacket, styled with vintage Chanel wrap-around sunglasses. It’s sleek and elevated, but the real standout is the footwear, fringe boots that move with her as she walks through SoHo. A good example of statement shades done right.
3. Reader Frame + Daytime Denim
This one leans more casual. She’s wearing clear-lens reader-style glasses, not for sun but for shape, giving structure to her face. Paired with a cheetah print sleeveless top and oversized blue jeans, it’s a strong day look that’s playful but intentional.
4. Micro Shades + Bold Flats
A classic mix done well: black mini sunglasses, a white blouse, and blue jeans. Simple, yes…but the outfit turns up with bright red ballet flats, which tie the look together and add a standout element.
NYC girls are using shades to set the tone of their entire outfit, whether it’s oversized, minimal, tinted, or vintage. The takeaway? Find a pair that works for your face and mood, and let them do the styling for you.
