When it comes to sunnies this summer, be prepared for vibrant color palettes across the board. This is your chance to have some fun, so don’t be afraid to don the most colourful frames you can find. Match your glasses with your favourite monotone outfit or rock some colour-blocking with a contrasting hue.

2. Round Frames

Introduce a little Beatles mania to your look this summer with a round frame. Try a thick coloured or patterned frame for a completely original look, or keep it classic with a thin metallic style a la John Lennon.

3. The Cats Eye

Cats eyes are back: a sophisticated style that harks back to the drop-dead glamour of the 50’s pin-up. Modernise the look with black frames or geometric angles, or go a soft diamond shape for a more retro feel.

4. Aviator-esque

The sculptural lines of the classic aviator style are flattering to many a face. The latest versions feature barely-there metallic frames with lenses in amber or gradient tones of brown.

Now that you’re hot to hop on one of the latest sunglasses trends, it’s important to remember that shades are meant to protect your eyes as well as look fantastic.

So always make sure your glasses have UVA and UVB protection, and if the facts aren’t spelled out on the label, ask the optician, salesperson or website to provide you with certification before you buy.
