All The Reasons Why '90s Sunglasses Have Returned

They say trends are recycled every 20 years, and right now, we're having a '90s renaissance. Everyone from Ace & Tate to Adam Selman have thrown our sunglasses style straight back to one of fashion's most significant decades. So what are the archetypal '90s shades?

(With a little teenage Olsen twins sprinkled in for good measure). Though summer is coming to a close, there's still time to score a few pairs for yourself — and wear them into the fall, too.
