Trending Now: Oversized Clear Sunglasses

Go big or go home, right? That's the ethos with oversized sunglasses. Outsize frames are a little larger and much bolder. Plus, they're comfortable, go with any face shape, and are ideal for both lazy sunny days and busy party nights.

You don't have to just get dark sunnies to enjoy the oversized sunglasses trend. Clear lenses are coming back in a big way.

Read on to discover my favorite clear glasses collections with brash, oversized frames you can wear anywhere.

Why are Oversized Shades so Popular?

Oversized glasses have been in and out of fashion for years, but mostly "in." They're a great way to capture a timeless look, enhancing your eyes and turning heads effortlessly. Cat-eye glasses echo sultry makeup looks, while chunky square frames hark back to the '70s for a truly vintage look.

The Rise of Clear Eyewear

Clear eyewear is so popular because of its minimalist styling. Rather than colored lenses that hide your eyes, you get to show off your natural beauty.

Pair that with stunning, oversized frames and you've got a look that people won't be able to turn away from. Stars showcasing the oversize style include Paris Hilton and Amber Rose. I expect this trend to stick around for a long time to come.

Styles I Love

What's on my mind when it comes to clear glasses and oversized designs? Well, I recently added two new collections of clear eyewear to the Giant Vintage site packed with a variety of options for clear lens fans. I'm so happy with how these collections turned out and think you will be too.

Since every pair is stunning, it's hard to pick out my favorites. However, I love the angular stylings of GRETCHEN, named for the smart yet sweet character from Recess. I'm also a huge fan of ARTHUR, and who knew a cartoon aardvark had such style? These clear aviators are designed to help you stand out from the crowd.

Oversized Frames: Our Collections

We've got two main collections of oversized clear glasses at the moment but check back frequently as I'm always updating my top picks. Despite their chunky frames, most of these glasses are lightweight, versatile, and easy to wear on any occasion.

Oversized Clear Eyewear

The Oversized Clear Eyewear Collection offers a huge variety of transparent glasses in big, bold styles.

Did Clark Kent really fool anyone by hiding behind those cute glasses? Maybe, maybe not. But we're certain you'll draw the right attention with the KENT Tortoise Clear Glasses. Take a stand against evil or, you know, just rock a world-changing outfit. Despite clear lenses, these glasses offer full UV protection to keep you safe in the sun.

Steve Urkle was the king of nerd chic back in the late '80s. He'd probably be shocked that this style is now bigger than ever and growing in popularity. These URKLE Clear Round Horn-Rimmed Glasses give a nod to the Family Matters character while remaining super stylish. The frames come in ginger, clear, or black, and the horn rims help you look effortlessly sophisticated.

Edna might have drawn the line at capes, and who can blame her? However, she was never seen without her iconic glasses. Inspired by the fiery "The Incredibles" character, the EDNA Clear Cat Eye Chunky Glasses come in black or three versions of tortoiseshell. Ideal whether you're on vacation or trying to save the world, or whatever.

Surprise Drop: Oversized Clear Glasses

Another collection of oversized sunglasses with clear lenses, these have just dropped and are sure to fly out fast. Get to the Surprise Drop Collection before anyone else does.

Jump in the Mystery Machine and investigate choices like the VELMA Clear Square Chunky Glasses. These oversized, horn-rimmed, square glasses will make you look super smart and ultra hot. They also offer full UV protection. Get VELMA in matte black, gloss black, brown, or funky tortoiseshell for a touch of '70s nostalgia.

Unleash your inner scientist with the DEXTER Clear Big Chunky Glasses. You don't need to work in a laboratory to enjoy these clear frames and lenses, ideal for both women and men. These are one-of-a-kind vintage-inspired originals. Plus, they've got a healthy blue light blocker to protect your eyes from too much screentime.

Ms. Frizzle took those Magic School Bus kids on some pretty wild adventures. You can echo her style (if not her magic powers) with the MS.FRIZZLE Clear Chunky Square Glasses. When The Friz wears shades, they're always big and chunky, just like these. Get them in black or tortoiseshell, and take a look at that gorgeous gold decoration by the temple. These are limited edition so grab them while you can.
