The White Company A.KJÆRBEDE Kaya Aviator Sunglasses
Dupe for: Burberry BE4474U Aviator-Frame Tortoiseshell Acetate Sunglasses
Burberry’s aviators lean into one of spring 2026’s biggest eyewear trends — chunky, square aviators with a vintage 1970s feel. The tortoiseshell finish softens the bold shape, while the double-bridge detail gives it that slightly directional, designer edge.
This version from The White Company delivers the same aesthetic — oversized, warm-toned and structured enough to elevate even the simplest outfit.
Buy from The White Company for £30.
H&M Cat-Eye Sunglasses
Dupe for: Saint Laurent SL M103 Rectangular Cat-Eye Acetate Sunglasses
If you’re investing in just one new pair of sunglasses this spring, make it a cat-eye. Sharp, sculptural and instantly flattering, this silhouette is everywhere right now — bringing a polished, slightly retro edge to even the simplest outfit.
The Saint Laurent version is a fashion-editor staple, known for its clean lines and subtly dramatic lift.
This H&M pair captures that same energy perfectly. With its angular shape, glossy tortoiseshell finish and slim arms, it feels directional rather than overly vintage — exactly where spring 2026 eyewear is heading.
New Look Gold Tone Gradient Square Sunglasses
Dupe for: Dolce&Gabbana DG2242 Women’s Square Sunglasses
If you’re looking for soft glamour, this is it. Oversized but refined, these square frames strike the perfect balance between statement and sophistication.
The thin gold-tone frame gives them that elevated, almost jewellery-like feel, while the gradient lenses soften the look — making them ideal for everyday wear (rather than full-on paparazzi shielding).
They tap directly into the Y2k aesthetic championed by Dolce&Gabbana.
Lipsy Brown Chunky Slim Sunglasses
Dupe for: Gucci GC002405 Women’s Square Sunglasses
This is your shortcut to instantly elevate any look with a dash of old-money aesthetic.
The thick tortoiseshell frame, dark lenses and subtle gold detailing on the Lipsy sunnies mirror the bold aesthetic of Gucci’s signature square style. Pair this with slicked-back hair for the off-duty model look.
Mango Resin Frame Sunglasses
Dupe for: Miu Miu MU A06S Sunglasses
One of the most coveted pair of sunglasses this summer, these Miu Miu dupes from Mango are a masterclass in understated cool. The slim oval shape directly channels the 1990s revival dominating eyewear right now.
The tortoiseshell finish and warm brown lenses soften the silhouette, making them feel less throwback and more modern-day minimalist.
Decathlon Adult Category 3 Cycling Sunglasses Perf 500 Light
Dupe for: Oakley OO9208 Radar EV Path
Sporty sunglasses continue to trend this spring, thanks to the rise of off-duty, athleisure-inspired styling.
Oakley’s futuristic frames are a favourite among influencers — but Decathlon’s version offers the same sleek look as well as the full UV protection.
Buy from Decathlon for £29.99.
