Stylist Winter Sunglasses Picks for 2026

Just because summer is over, it doesn't mean it’s time to put your sunglasses into hibernation. Winter sunglasses are a huge ‘yes’ this season. They're essential for tying together those cosy, layered looks, from chunky knits to structured winter coats. This winter, make a statement while keeping your eyes happy and protected.

How to style winter shades

Winter brings plenty of opportunities to complete your look with a pair of seasonal sunglasses, whether that’s a trip to the Christmas markets, a spot of aprés-ski, or a wholesome wintery walk. Whether you choose rich red, brown or green tones or a bold tinted lens, winter sunglasses outfits are perfect for making a statement.

From chunky boots and knitted scarves to oversized jumpers, winter sunnies are a must to complete your winter wardrobe.

Winter sun safety

The Winter sun may not be as warm as in Summer, but it is still dazzling. In fact, the sun is lower, sharper, and more intense in the sky during the winter months, which is why remembering your sunglasses is essential.

Whether you’re out on a frosty walk or going for a drive, a pair of sunglasses is a must to ensure your eyes are protected.

Polarised sunglasses are the perfect choice for the winter months, as the lenses are designed to reduce glare from light-reflecting surfaces like snow.

Don't compromise between eye health and looking great.

They offer a luxurious, comforting contrast against a snowy backdrop or a neutral coat.

The Azizi sunglasses add a warm touch to your cold-weather wardrobe.

The pilot-style lenses, slim gold metal frames and tortoiseshell tips pair perfectly with neutral knitwear, a chunky scarf and boots.

Golden Hour Sunnies

The winter sun's low position means we get an extended golden hour, every stylist's favourite lighting trick, and your frames should reflect it!

Look for features that catch the seasonal glow, making sure you look photo-ready in that beautiful, low light.

Get the golden hour glow with the Quiksilver Sun RX 02 shades.
