7 Not-So-Obvious Sun Protection Tips

1. Shutter Shades

Plastic Shutter Shades

These plastic frames peaked in the late 2000s, in the height of sleazy party culture – and they’ve been a symbol of those times ever since.

White Shutter Shades

While they can look cool for very specific times and occasions, but let’s be real – without actual lenses, shutter shades offered zero sun protection and were more of a novelty than a functional fashion choice.

2. Brightly-Colored Lenses

NastyGal Yellow Tinted Lens Sunglasses

Brightly tinted-lenses like yellows, pinks, and blues definitely had their moment for adding a playful pop to any look. Over time, though, they began looking increasingly cheap-y.

Classic tints like browns and blacks are certainly more in-style now. Plus, they’re way easier to match with your outfits!

3. Cat Eye Frames

Michael Kors Harbour Island Sunglasses

When we say ‘cat eye frames,’ we really mean the ultra-sharp, exaggerated versions that dominated the fashion world in the late 2010s. Due to their dramatic angles, cat eye frames don’t always flatter many face shapes and can oftentimes look too costume-like.

Oversized Cat Eye Sunglasses

Smoother, more organic sunglasses shapes have taken center stage these days – which we are very thankful for.

4. Flip-Up Sunglasses

Frienda Flip-Up Sunglasses

If we had one word to describe this “outdated” sunglasses trend, it’d be ‘quirky.’ Flip-up sunglasses were once really cool for the novelty aspect, but in reality, they’re bulky, impractical, and easily breakable!

Dollger Double Lens Clip-In Sunglasses

The same thing goes for clip-in sunglasses. Nowadays, we’re so glad prescription sunglasses were created for a more seamless wear.

5. John Lennon Sunnies

Joopin Retro Small Round Sunglasses

The appeal of tiny, round wire-frame sunglasses has undoubtedly worn off. While they stunned in the 90s and early 2000s, they truly look awkward on most face shapes.

Poraday Classic Circle Glasses

Plus, their ultra-small lenses offer little actual coverage from the sun. Unless you know for sure you can rock these, try opting for bolder, larger sunnies.

6. Heart-Shaped Frames

Anthropologie Heart Sunglasses

While there can be a time and place for these cutesy heart-shaped frames, they’re not exactly suitable for everyday wear.

Polarized Heart Shaped Sunglasses

Over the decades, they’ve earned themselves more of a novelty status than a style-forward one. Try on some more sophisticated pairs that’ll suit your own (grown) age.

Munn shared with TODAYthat she didn't initially plan to show her scars on the set. The campaign was focused on her recovery post-breast cancer diagnosis, but the makeup artist had a hard time covering up the scars throughout the shoot. She explained that she took a look in the mirror and thought, "I’m done being insecure about my scars." From there, she took the idea to show them off to the SKIMS team — and the rest is history.

And while she was scared to be so vulnerable on camera, this was ultimately a really empowering move for Munn. She elaborated that there are "so many women that have these same scars" who feel just as insecure as she did about them — and she really hopes those women see this ad. "Skims is so iconic and associated with beauty and sex appeal, and cancer really doesn't have that same connotation," she said. "So I just really hope that other women who have gone through my same path feel a little better after seeing it."

The star also took to Instagram to give a behind-the-scenes explanation of her experience. She reiterated that she was "done being insecure" about her scars. "Every mark life has left behind on my body is proof of how hard I fought," she wrote. "I hope other women who have been self-conscious about their scars see these photos and feel all the love I’m sending."

She also shared that SKIMS will donate 10% of their bra sales (except bralettes) to Susan G. Komen® — a charity dedicated to finding a cure for breast cancer — from October 23-31 in stores and online. "It’s really meaningful to be part of an initiative that supports research and helps countless individuals impacted by breast cancer," she said.

All of this comes on the heels of Munn's announcement earlier this year that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She revealed the diagnosis came after recently tested negatively for well-known breast cancer genes and had normal results from her annual mammogram — but her doctor to check her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. The test showed Munn had a 37% risk of breast cancer, so she pushed for more answers that eventually lead to her diagnosis.

Since then, Munn shared with PEOPLE that she had 4 surgeries in 10 months and underwent medically-induced menopause — all the while juggling being a new mom with husband John Mulaney. She shared, "I'm lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options. I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day."

After that March announcement, it's clear Munn is dedicated to raising awareness for women's health — and particularly their options. While chatting about the SKIMS campaign, Munn told TODAY, "You've got to go your doctor and you inundate them with information and you don't stop until they give you the test you need."

If you want to test your own risk for breast cancer, the National Institute of Health has resources here.

Did the Beach Read movie already find its Gus and January?

When Paul Mescal and Ayo Edebiri started posting selfies together, fans immediately picked up on their chemistry — and started calling for the two actors to star in a rom-com together. "The Paul Mescal and Ayo Edebiri romcom is imminent," one X user tweeted.

And when Emily Henry reposted one of their selfies on her story? Fans of the author's first romance novel immediately fancast the two actors as Gus and January. And with their personalities, and the way they complement each other, there's literally no one else I could see playing these roles at the moment.

While Emily "can’t confirm or deny anything with casting for any movie," the author did admit that "they would be amazing. I actually saw them being discussed [online] for several different roles — and I definitely have a favorite. But it’s fun, because different adaptations would either have one of them playing to type, or one of those adaptations would have them both playing to type, and one of them would have them both playing against type. It’s an interesting thing. I mean, they’re great, they could do anything.”

Are Paul Mescal and Ayo Edebiri in a rom-com together?

Paul Mescal and Ayo Edebiri haven't officially joined a rom-com together, but after Paul told Awards Watch he wants to do a romance movie with Ayo in "the next five years," The Bear actress agreed she's game...on one condition.

"If somebody writes us a good script," she says. "It has to be in an About Time vibe. Something that’s got, like, a heart, so he can still flex his drama muscles where it’s like, the covert rom-com. Like, still a rom-com, but we got to get something inventive."

Is Beach Read going to be a movie?

Yes, the Beach Read movie is coming soon! Writer-director Yulin Kuang told Brit + Co exclusively that she "really cares" about giving fans of the book a good experience.

"I truly believe that art belongs to the audience once it's out in the world," she says. "And so saying too much, it feels prescriptive, you know? So I hope they enjoy it. I hope that they know that a lot of care is going into the adaptations. I remember what it's like to be watching with anxious hearts about the announcements of all my favorite adaptations. And so that's the main thing. I hope they know that I really, really care."
