Dude, styling in the summer is lame. In two hours, your hair is full of salt, stuck to your face, or wilted down and glued to your backsweat. What’s a gal to do? Ditch the fancy French twists for a month or two and opt for easy-peasy style: white sunglasses.
Are sunglasses a hair accessory? You bet your ballerina bun. Here’s some familiar faces of celebrity ladies looking low-effort chic in white sunnies:
Emma’s not the only celeb in love with white Wayfarers – we’ll always have Paris:
As do Drew Barrymore and Hayden Panettiere:
But what does the other Emma do for white shades?
Coat is Gucci Resort 2007, floral.
Christina Aguilera digs white sunglasses, both in this ultra-femme va-va-voom hairstyle…
…and rockin’ a wee hipster influence with Bettie-Page-but-choppier bangs, a 90s-worthy flannel and White Super Classic sunglasses.
Of course our girl Taylor Swift, who adopts and destroys literally every style, has rocked this look six ways to Sunday:
Taylor’s even gone the white Wayfarer route (though her best publicized Wayfarer looks are cherry red and light pink):
Ariana Grande does a different take on the look with this super retro pair, but she kept her standard high-ponytail hairstyle…
But how can you style it for a summery look that’s so 2015 and not J.Lo-circa-Bennifer-1? Here are a few general tips aside from copying the celebs above:
- Wear a mid-high ponytail. It doesn’t have to be Ariana level, but that 50s-cheerleader effect is super charming this way.
Wrap it in a scarf or headwrap. Think Hitchcockian heroine in a convertible – rawr.- Don’t skip the (spray) tan. Skin cancer is very un-chic, but everything white looks better with a tan, so go Mystic up and then rock these shades.
- Go strategically sleeker or messier. Street/beach style calls for a messy bun, ruffles and shrimpy shorts with your white shades, but if you’re channeling that St. Tropez resort life, a retro wrap one-piece, wedges and ultra-pulled back hair is a must. (Remember Mia Wallace at the end of Pulp Fiction?)
What do you guys think of the white sunglasses look? Is it the go-to summer hair accessory for lazy gals like me?
Thank you! I LOVE white sunglasses, they are my summer resort style go to. SO glad they are back in!

Agreed. Thanks for reading! *muah*
this is so great! I am going to an all white, flash mob, dinner party in two weeks. These will be perfect for that event.
Fully! Which style were you thinking? I’d like the bigger ones for such an occasion, personally. Thanks for reading!
White sunnies aren’t for me but I love any shades that are oversized for certain! Thanks for linking up with us on Start the Week Stylish

Sunglasses are my secret to a bad hair day! Resting them on your head like a headband makes everyone ignore your hair. Love this collection of stars all sharing their love of the classic summer white sunglasses. I used to have a pair – guess I’ll need to get ’em again. Thank you for sharing at Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party, I am pinning this.
