Celebrities rocking the visor look -

Although traditionally associated with sports–in particular tennis and golf—the visor has been around for quite some time.

But more than its practical use, in this gallery we highlight how it can be a very stylish accessory indeed.

Celebrities have been rocking these for decades, and while the trend comes and goes, these celebs prove that visors don't have to be plain and simple. In fact, some stars actually wear some pretty bold ones. Click on and get some visor inspo!
