Seeing as the weather is warming and breaking out a less-layered wardrobe is becoming more frequent for most of the Fashionistas/os here in Charleston, this Fashionista stood out to me immediately. Apart from the ease of her look, the simplistic low messy bun contrasting her bold, tortoise circular sunglasses grabbed my attention instantly. When thinking about the trend of circular glasses, audacious, brave and edgy is what you are reaching for, and this Fashionista did exactly that.

Pairing bigger, bolder glasses with the ease of black on black layering and your favorite fit jeans is a prime example for looking fashionable, but doing so with simplicity. With the fast fashion world we are living in today, new colors, shapes and sizes of glasses is extremely apparent. So are these new age John Lennon shades worth spending on for spring? Popularized by many of our favorite celebrities, round glasses add a funky and extremely modern look to any outfit. The oversized glass, contrasted against a hairstyle like this messy bun, is the perfect walk to class, day time shop, brunch with friends addition to any outfit.

Playful and interesting, pair these fun shades with distressed jeans and a white T-shirt and tie your hair up in a quick top knot; you’ll be styling your way to class within minutes. Appearing in many colors, these circular must-haves are a staple piece for this Fashionistas spring style.
