    Spring vacation plans might be off the table right now, but while you’re indoors, staying safe at home, it doesn’t mean your accessories can’t transport you elsewhere. Swap out your classic black Wayfarers for jazzy reflective lenses, glitter, and retro shapes to get you in the mood for a virtual vacay (and ready-to-go when the beaches re-open). If you need a little inspo, we asked some models to pair this season's best sunnies with their ideal getaways. It's as easy as adding a sweep of bronzer, a photo of paradise for your Zoom background, and (if you ask us) a homemade rum punch to get this house party started.


    Hip to Be Square

    This shape looks so good on everybody. The key is keep it oversized and slightly transparent for a laid-back '70s vibe.
