The tiny-sunglasses trend has quite possibly reached its zenith. Bella Hadid is rarely seen without a petite pair sitting on the bridge of her nose, her friend Kendall Jenner has adopted the style, and even stars like Angelina Jolie have tried the Matrix-appropriate shades out for size. And if your Instagram feed is anything like ours, even scrolling for just a few minutes will result in countless pairs of eyes peering out at you from those seemingly inescapable miniature frames.

Given the hegemony of the diminutive style, it’s easy to forget those days when Paris Hilton would pose with a pair of massive frames and a tiny chihuahua in her hands. But there’s a middle ground between the two extremes: the classic square cut. Trends will come and go, but the full-coverage style has stood the test of time, from framing Audrey Hepburn’s perfect cheekbones to adding a chic touch to Madonna’s leather-heavy ensemble.

Below, shop 13 pairs of square-shaped sunglasses that will give micro shades a run for their money.
