Bad Bunny's sunglasses prove the power of statement accessories

May 17, 2023

We want to channel all things Bad Bunny energy with our sunnies...

It's official, Bad Bunny's sunglasses are our new accessory obsession for summer 2023—here's why his eclectic styles should inspire some statement eyewear in your own capsule wardrobe.

While Bad Bunny's girlfriend situation is something of a mystery (is he dating Kendall Jenner? Your guess is as good as ours!), the question of whether he suits every style and shape of sunnies certainly is not—because yes, yes he does. If you've ever seen Bad Bunny wearing sunglasses, you'll know exactly what we mean.

The Puerto Rican hitmaker, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, is not often seen wearing the same pair twice and much like with Emma Chamberlain's sunglasses aesthetic, he never shies away from a statement lens or frame. In fact, he rocks everything from yellow- and red-lensed aviators to chunky, rectangle shades. So, if you want to channel a bit of Benito's street style—and confidence—this summer, here's how to recreate his sunglass look, on a budget, of course!

So, first things first, what shades does Bad Bunny wear? Well, that's not exactly a straightforward answer. The singer (and in our opinion, style icon) sports a number of brands, from Gucci to Jacques Marie Mage—he even wore a pair of Ray-Bans for his role in Bullet Train.

As for his preferred styles, you can spy Bad Bunny wearing everything from simple, black rectangle sunglasses (a shape he has in common with his supposed girlfriend, Kendall Jenner's own sunglasses style) to yellow- and red-lensed aviators and even silver-framed, Y2K-esque angled sunglasses. So, no matter your own aesthetic, you're likely to find a Bad Bunny pair you vibe with.

Naturally, if you're looking to own an official, Benito-approved pair of shades, it will probably cost you nearly a month's rent—but hey, nothing can put a price on having something in common with your fave celeb, though some of these designers do try...

Luckily, you don't have to fork out $$$ to copy Bad Bunny's eyewear style and we've even rounded up a few cheaper swaps for you...

Weekday Cruise Squared Sunglasses

RRP: $30

If you love the recent snaps of Bad Bunny's black sunglasses, these rectangle shades from Weekday are a great swap. They feature the same black tinted lens and matching frame and create that sharp look. These yellow and metal sunglasses from Weekday are also perfect!

& Other Stories Oversized Square Sunglasses

RRP: $39

We feel these would definitely get the nod of approval from Bad Bunny, with their red-tinted lens and retro shape.

Madewell Acetate Linford Aviator Sunglasses

RRP: $69.50

These aviators also feel very on theme for Bad Bunny, with their yellowish tortoiseshell frame and matching yellow lenses.
