The Dior “So Real” brow bar sunglasses have been the most coveted shades for the past year. They are so popular, they have an entire Vogue story dedicated to them. I think they are really cool, but they are so stylized, I have a feeling they won’t be cool for that long.

When it comes to designer sunglasses, I try to stick with classic shapes and colors so I can wear them for several years. These purple suede Miu Miu’s were an exception for me, but only because I found them at a resale shop for well below retail price.

I personally couldn’t fathom spending over $600 on a pair of the Dior “So Real” brow bar sunglasses because I just don’t think the style has long-term staying power. If you want to get in on the trend without dropping an entire paycheck, I think these Romwe shades are such a great option at only $11! The Romwe version lets you experiment with a cool sunglasses trend while saving your pennies for something worth investing in (like a classic designer handbag!).

Dior – $595
Romwe – $11

What do you think of the brow bar sunglasses trend? Yay or nay?
