Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have taught us so many style lessons, we need a new notebook, because these pages are filled. The award-winning designers stick to their personal uniforms, tweaking them ever so slightly to keep up with the trends but never veering too much from what they consider to be classics: oversize silhouettes, chic flats, and sunglasses, which may be the most underrated staple of them all. Even at basketball games, Mary-Kate and Ashley sit courtside in their shades, and they've pulled the Anna Wintour, keeping them on through runway shows, too. From wire-rim aviators to perfect '90s squares, scroll for a full timeline of Olsen opticals, then shop some inspired pairs.
