In the sunglasses world, you have got classic aviators (Ray-Ban 3025), iconic wayfarers (Ray-Ban 2140), historic Clubmasters (Ray-Ban 3016), glamorously oversized pieces (Dior Glossy 1) and then there are visors. Speaking in absolute honesty, visors are a little weird but wonderful. What other sunglass references to Marvel superheroes, Olympic athletes and Hollywood stars in a single glance? Associations aside, the simple truth of visors they can be subtle, protective or attention-grabbing accessories. This makes them extremely attractive to celebrities, so it comes as no surprise that visors are still hanging on.

When it comes to wearing visors, we have spotted many celebs that have sported visors well to showcase your style options. In 2009, Lady GaGa wore a Versace visor, sequined shorts and a blazer upon arriving in Heathrow. Fergie wore her sunshield, a cape and leather trousers in 2009, also choosing a flattop option like GaGa. Finally, Will.i.am sported Carrera visor sunglasses, plus a military-inspired ensemble in Washington, USA.

Thanks to sun visor hats and futuristic elements appearing on the SS2012 catwalks, there are loads of great visor shades for your purchasing pleasure this season. Check out Bvlgari, Victoria Beckham and Dior for their fashionable take on this versatile style. Or you can take a gander at some of our favourite visor sunglasses below.
