Here are the top five Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses this season.
Marc by Marc Jacobs 076 Violet
As soon as Katy Perry was spotted in these violet sunglasses, everyone had to have them. Besides the attractive purple tone, the shades are similar to several other pairs of sunglasses in this collection because of their signature solid colored frames and large, boxy lenses. This style does have a slight kickback to the 50’s sense about it with the upturned outward edge of the frames.
If you are looking for this exact pair of sunglasses they can still be found at select retailers and online retailers, like sunglass-shop.co.uk and retail for around $150. Similar styles from Marc Jacobs are available in other colors or even a darker shade of purple.
Marc by Marc Jacobs 061/S
If you like the classic sold framed sunglasses in this collection, but feel the frames are just a little too big or dominant for your face, take a look at the same style in a smaller metal frame. The metal frames paired with the big boxy lenses gives you the same style with a lighter feel and look to them. Depending on the color frames you choose, there are four difference gradient lens colors to choose from. Lenses and slimmer frame combined make this style a very sleek option for those that love this designer look but cannot always pull the style off as well because of different face shapes.

Marc by Marc Jacobs 063/S
This pair of sunglasses is an all around classic with the signature lens size in a timeless tortoise shell frame. What I like about the frames though is that the design is a very light tortoise shell design so that you can almost see clear through the frames. Detailed open metal hardware, in gold, connects the frames to the side pieces, and deep brown colored gradient lenses finish off the look. (www.dreamshades.com, $120)
Marc by Marc Jacobs 004/S
Another signature look in Marc Jacobs sunglasses designs are the popular aviator look. I like that the designer does not go full on aviator style though and plays with the looks a little. Instead of a gradient lens, solid lenses are used. The thin metal frames are made from aluminum and are super light and comfortable to wear. The frames are also available in different colors with matching lenses. (www.coolframes.com, $90)
Marc by Marc Jacobs 028/S
These frameless Marc Jacobs shades are popular with both men and women because they are so versatile and go with just about anything. The style comes in four different shades and even though gradient lenses are used, the change is so subtle you can hardly tell. What I like about this frameless pair, is that they re not entirely frameless, but only the sides and bottom are without a frame. (www.frames direct.com, $76)
