8 Outdated Trends Meghan Markle Was Caught Wearing

Sunglasses are more often in fashion than other accessories, and for good reason. After all, they’re an important part of the look, drawing attention to the face before the rest of the outfit is even considered. Aviator sunglasses have largely stood the test of time, first becoming popular in the ’70s and ’80s. Like many famous faces, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is known for wearing a pair from time to time. time. The problem ? These are not the most fashionable glasses these days. While aviator glasses saw a big resurgence in popularity in 2017, their popularity has since dropped. So when Meghan donned her gold-rimmed sunglasses at the Invictus Games in 2022, she was a few years too late.

In 2020, ’90s sunglasses reigned supreme and in 2024, retro sunglasses remained popular, albeit with a modern twist. According to Refinery29, colored lenses, sports glasses (imagine: ski goggles without the slopes), small metal frames, oversized and chunky sunglasses, ovals and cat eyes are all dominating trends in 2024.

We’d love to see the Duchess take a risk and put the aviators in the drawer for a while so she can make best-dressed lists in just her glasses!
