When it comes to eyeing up your accessories, few things are as important than a good pair of sunglasses.
From a style statement to an essential piece of holiday kit, a pair of sunnies can be a game changer for any outfit.
It’s a chance to experiment with your style, and is one of the easiest ways to express yourself through fashion.
Best of all, they can multitask as both fashionable and functional. Here’s what’s trending in the world of sunglasses…
1. Cat-eye frames
“Standout retro sunglasses that will get you noticed are all-important this year,” says Tim Harrison, director of WatchPilot (watchpilot.co.uk).
He suggests “tried and tested frame styles, such as cat-eye” are particularly popular at the moment, popping up repeatedly on the runway with modern spins.
