Slovak term or phrase: imidzovy
imidzove okuliare. I know this is a very basic question but I'm stumped, perhaps it's time to shut down the computer for the night

English translation:fashion statement
Explanation:
as I understand it, the words imidzovy, or imidzovka imply that the object is not used/worn because it has to fulfill a function. To the contrary, it is used/worn to produce an effect on the audience because of its trendy design, hence why I think the expression fashion statement (to wear the sunglasses as a fashion statement) may be suitable. Hope this helps.

agree  Dylan Edwards: If they're glasses that make a fashion statement, you can call them "statement glasses".

cool


Explanation:
Before I get eaten alive on here, I would just like to point out that this is only a rather loose translation which might just work here as an adjective, i.e. cool glasses. Of course, much depends on the rest of the text and the way it is written, but I think it would work well with "glasses".

Designer sun glasses, stylish sun glasses


Explanation:
Designer sun glasses sú väčšinou drahé okuliare, stylish sun glasses sú len pekné, ale nemusia byť veľmi drahé
