Three sunglass trends to cool off on

1 Ginormous, Olsen twins-style shades
Sunglasses that swallow half your face are not only ­
a little dated, they’re un­comfortable to wear in really hot temperatures too. No one likes the feeling of sweat collecting underneath those big lenses.

2 Massive logos
As the economy changes, so does fashion. In this climate, large, shiny designer logos look plain gaudy.

3 Shutter sunglasses
Kanye West’s Pastelles have spawned a throng of knockoff “shutter shades,” making the hip-hop accessory to 2008 what the trucker hat was to 2003: played out.
