What is it about a great pair of sunglasses that suddenly makes everything look more stylish?

The right frames will sharpen up even the simplest outfit and, choose wisely, they'll work with almost everything in your wardrobe. Not into oversized logos? Can't cope with Nineties nostalgia? The most wearable trend right now is softer, slightly rounded frames. They're more flattering on most face shapes and have exactly the kind of longevity you're looking for when you're spending that little bit more.

Timeless rather than trend-led, take a look at the latest versions from Cutler & Gross, Cubitts and to Gentle Monster and Jimmy Fairly.  These are the names fashion editors return to season after season and they’ll still be wearing them for years to come. Think warm tortoiseshells, honeyed acetates and softly sculpted silhouettes with keyhole bridges and vintage-inspired lines.

A great pair of sunglasses won’t just finish your outfit, they’ll become part of your signature and you won’t want to leave the house without them.
