One thing you probably won't have missed if you've been watching Love Island over the years are, of course, the incredible Love Island sunglasses. If you're a fan of the show, you may have already heard that season 11 was a hit after the successful instalment of Love Island All Stars.
Across the seasons, we've seen Islanders strutting around the villa in brand-name sunglasses, showing off stylish designer choices such as Prada and Miu Miu alongside their unforgettable outfits and statement bikinis. However, high-street brands such as Free People and River Island have also made an appearance with crowned winner Mimii Ngulube opting for picks from the brands above.
If you want a pair of your own, you won't have to look too far. After all, there are a variety of styles to choose from. Just like the ever-popular beauty products and stylish accessories that the islanders have endorsed, they can't seem to go without a pair of shades either. Here's where to shop the sunglasses as worn in the villa for plenty of style inspiration from the show.

Where Can I Watch Love Island?
You can catch up with Love Island on ITVX if you want to relive the best moments from season 11.
What Brand Of Sunglasses Do They Wear On Love Island?
We've seen so many labels on Love Island over the seasons, with the majority of them being designer names. It would be fair to say some of the pairs could be preloved eBay options, given the show's longstanding partnership with the brand. From Chanel to Versace, some Islanders tend to stick with certain designers throughout the season if they have a favourite.
More notably, the question on everyone's lips at the moment is 'is Love Island sponsored by Prada?' and, we can answer that. There's currently no sponsorship between Prada and Love Island, despite Prada sunglasses being featured season after season. This can be explained through Love Island's partnership with eBay, and the designer pairs spotted on the show are likely preloved sunglasses from the retailer.
