Shop these sunglasses worn by your favourite Korean celebs

Accessories, especially sunglasses, are unsung heroes that are often overlooked. In fact, sunglasses do more than just shield our eyes from the damaging UV rays that cause signs of ageing (crow’s feet, anyone?). They also serve as embellishing pieces that can elevate any look for any situation.

In light of our recent craze for all things Korean, we spotted some sunglasses that look super cool on our favourite Korean celebs. To cop these stylish looks, keep on scrolling.

But if there’s one thing we can’t stop gushing over about, it’d have to be the pair of shades that she was wearing that completed her whole look. While the original pair (Her 01 square-frame Sunglasses) is currently out of stock, you’ll be able to find something similar from Gentle Monster. Take, for instance, the Dreamer 17 01 square sunglasses.
