Unlike most other accessories, your choice of sunglasses is a pivotal part of curating your look this summer. As the mercury rises and blue skies prevail, we keep our shades firmly attached to our faces; an extension of ourselves. It’s key, then, that you choose wisely.

This season, sunglasses are more statement-making than ever. Gone are the perfunctory specs that serve to banish UV rays only. In their place, you’ll find everything from pared-back wire frames, to Hepburn-esque oversized shades. Hawking back to a bygone era and anchored firmly in vintage shapes, this season’s hottest sunnies toe the line between form and function.
