Celine’s Disc Statement Sunglasses Are Making Round Shades Warm-Weather Must-Haves

There’s been an ongoing game of musical chairs on the fashion front. Designers are being shuffled between fashion houses to the point where you almost need a diagram to keep up with all of the changes. Especially since new players keep entering the arena as Marco De Vincenzo just departed from Etro and Harris Reed is leaving Nina Ricci. After Hedi Slimane bid adieu to Celine, Michael Rider took over the role of creative director and he’s quickly making a name for himself. His colorful silk scarf styling tricks at the brand’s Spring 2026 and Summer 2026 runway shows are worthy of applause. Another accessory is proving popular: the Celine Disc Sunglasses. The covetable shades are hard to track down, although we managed to find a few pairs, but the fashion powerhouse doesn’t own the exclusive rights to round sunglasses.

Celine’s shades aren’t exactly cheap at a little over $420. There are several lower-cost alternatives that offer the same style boost. (Which is good since next spring and summer some other shape may be trending.) Take Le Specs’ Armada sunglasses in a lovely and seasonally-appropriate lilac hue for $85. Free People is a great option because the mid-priced brand supplies numerous numbers. See the retailer’s toasty Spencer Round Sunglasses for $30 and the lemon lenses-enhanced Juni Oversized Round Sunglasses, also $30. Don’t sleep on Jimmy Fairly, either. The brand has an array of sartorially-minded frames, including The Lily for under $150.

If you have your heart set on a high-end designer label, there are some deals to be had. Our favorite pick from Tiffany & Co. is $368 and has Tiffany Blue tips. Dries Van Noten’s $345 blue frames come closer to teal. Versace’s hot pink embellished take will run you just over $200, while Loewe’s marbled acetate shades are $420. You can even get a great deal on Alaïa of all things. Its transparent round-frame sunglasses are a clear winner at $425.

Your best bet is to either invest in one pair of designer shades or a few of the less expensive varieties. Not only does the latter let you express yourself in different ways on different sunny days, if you’re in the habit of misplacing or damaging your sunglasses, you’ll have a couple of backups.
