Sunglasses indoors? The fashion rules are changing

Wearing sunglasses indoors used to be the territory of rock stars, hangover sufferers, or people trying very hard to look important. But lately, it’s simply about fashion. The rules are changing, or, rather, we’re collectively deciding to throw the old rules out. At London Mole, we firmly believe that our sunglasses are so good that they should be worn all the time, so honestly, we're here for this.

Whether you’re in a dimly lit restaurant, scrolling in a café, or just doing your weekly M&S run, sunglasses have become the ultimate power accessory, inside or out. What may once have been considered an affectation is now a bona fide ‘look’.

So, how did ‘sunglasses indoors’ become a thing?

There’s no single answer, but several trends are converging. We’re all more screen exposed than ever, meaning a little lens shielding (hello, blue blockers) can feel both stylish and functional. There's also the influence of celebrities and designers giving sunglasses the all hours treatment- think Kendall Jenner’s barely there wraparounds or A$AP Rocky's retro bug eyed sunglasses worn with nonchalance at fashion week.

And let’s not ignore the appeal of a little mystique. The new ‘sunglasses indoors’ are a bit cheeky, a bit bold, and importantly, totally self aware. They say: “Yes, I know I’m wearing these in here. And yes, they look great.”

Sunglasses too good to take off

Which brings us on to London Mole. Our sunglasses are designed to make you feel like the main character, and when they look this good, why would you ever take them off?

From chunky tortoiseshell frames that scream vintage luxury to slick, sculptural silhouettes that whisper “I work in fashion” (even if you don’t), London Mole sunglasses are built to turn heads in any lighting. They’re not just UV protection, they’re personality.

If sunglasses indoors are wrong, we don’t want to be right. Fashion is meant to be fun, and has always been about pushing boundaries. It’s about expressing exactly who you are, even if that person happens to be wearing oversized cat eye sunglasses while picking up almond milk.

So go on, wear the sunglasses. Indoors. Outdoors. Wherever you like. London Mole approves.
