Mary-Kate Olsen in round-framed gradient sunglassesMary-Kate Olsen has been wearing plenty of John Lennon-esque round sunglasses, a sort-of sunlasses trend that hasn’t quite made it off the ground (and we’re still waiting to see whether it will take flight in 2009).

Mary-Kate isn’t the first to take this look to the streets – the Chanel half-tint sunglasses have also been spotted various times on the likes of Nicole Richie (below).

And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
