Unique & Weird Sunglasses Worth Trying On

Author: Anna Barden

What comes to mind when you think of unique sunglasses? Is it an exciting frame shape, lens tint, or frame color? Maybe you picture the signature crazy sunglasses that Elton John has performed in over the years, or something on the cover of a high-end fashion magazine.

Of course, “weird” and “crazy” can be subjective when it comes to style, and eyewear is no exception. So, whether you feel daring in a pointier-than-normal cat-eye frame or edgy with some bold colors, the right pair for you is out there.

Here are our favorite unique sunglasses, broken down by what makes them stand out: shape, bling, or color.

Irregularly Shaped Frames

An unconventional frame shape demands a double-take; subtle at first but more interesting the longer you look. From exaggerated curves to overly sharp cat-eyes, unusual frame shapes are a favorite in the category of unique or crazy sunglasses. (Or for a lighter fashion statement, consider a fun frame shape in a more neutral color.)

Embellished Lenses and Frames

A little glam goes a long way. Consider a pair with a branded emblem or gems to add to your signature flair. Sunglasses with chic decorative pieces can be dressed up or down, so you can feel a bit elevated at both casual and fancy events.

A Good Old-Fashioned Pop of Color

Nothing draws quick attention to your look like a splash of color. And when it comes to sunglasses, you can find color in both your lenses and your frames. Consider bold, blue frames with subtle lenses or transparent frames with colored mirrored lenses for your next exciting pair.

Go Bigger and Bolder with Unique Sunglasses

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a little extra umph in your eye wardrobe. Extra-large pilot sunglasses and graffiti-patterned frames are some of our favorite picks for unique sunglasses. Chunky rectangle frames are also a great way to steal the show.

Glasses.com offers prescription lenses for sunglasses and an array of lens features. Not only will you feel unique in a pair of “weird” or “crazy sunglasses” — you can also enjoy a pair customized with your vision prescription.

Your creativity doesn’t have to end with your eyewear. Pair your unique sunglasses with a leather jacket or vintage dress and keep the rest of your wardrobe casual to help them stand out. Don’t be afraid to let your crazy sunglasses turn some heads!
