The highly-anticipated series of Love Island season 12 is officially underway, and despite being so early we're already beaming at the endless fashion potential. No, we're not just talking about the show's unforgettable outfits and statement swimwear - one thing that's on our mind is Love Island sunglasses.
While the show’s popularity undeniably stems from its entertainment value (otherwise known as drama), I’d be lying if I said that heated arguments and fire pit chats were the only reason I’d be tuning in to watch the show every night. The other reason? Accessories. More specifically, sunglasses.
Over the years, we've seen the Islanders wearing an array of luxury eyewear, with brands like Prada, Miu Miu (the brand's Glimpse Acetate Sunglasses have made countless appearances) and Celine featured in almost every episode. The show's designer shades have quickly become synonymous with the sought-after accessories seen on the show, much like Gemma Owen's Tiffany necklace that caused quite a stir.
It's not only that, we've previously spotted an abundance of sunglasses from affordable high-street brands, including Free People and River Island, which is great if you're looking to replicate the style of your favourite Islander without having to reconsider your summer budget.
So, here's where you can shop the exact Love Island sunglasses, as featured in the most current series.

10 of 22Meg Moore's Aire Sunglasses

12 of 22Toni Laites' Quay Sunglasses
Bombshell Toni opts for this pair of Soundcheck Sunglasses from Quay, a brand we've seen many times on the show before. They have a bold, tortoiseshell frame and come in a typical aviator shape. Throughout the episode, we spot glimpses of Quay's branding on the arms.

Wearing the same pair as fellow Islander, Meg Moore, Megan also opts for this purse-friendly pick from SHEIN to get the designer look for less.
14 of 22Harry Cooksley's Oakley Sunglasses
We're convinced that Harry is wearing Oakley in this episode, if not an affordable alternative to the brand's bestselling Sutro Lite Sunglasses. Here's where you can get a pair just like the one Harry is wearing.
