Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe pioneered the über-cool-girl look popularized by Hollywood starlets: Oversized sunglasses and a big hobo bag. Not only is it flattering because big bags and big lenses make you look smaller in comparison, but it’s also practical. Who doesn’t love a beautiful satchel that can carry everything you need, and who doesn’t feel better hiding behind a gorgeous pair of dark glasses? This look will carry you from dawn until dusk, or if you’re Frank Sinatra, from dusk ‘til dawn. This Hollywood hipster famously sang, “Put your sunglasses on, because you ain’t going home ‘til the morning comes.”
