The sun is being a bit of a tease at the moment – out one day, then firmly hidden the next. But that shouldn’t stop you buying some new sunglasses.
Hey, the sun might come out if she likes the look of those new sunglasses, sunnies, shades, whatever you want to call them.
Some of you may like to spend a lot on designer sunglasses, others may have prescription ones. But if you are a bit of a sunglasses obsessive – and a loser of them – like me, you may want to indulge in more than one pair from the high street.
Sunglasses trends come and go, but this year it seems to be a mish-mash of all sorts. There is a step away from the HUGE over-sized 1970s style sunnies, as loved by Victoria Beckham, and a move towards smaller lenses, and bigger, plastic frames. Raybans, 1980s style are popular, as are Aviators, and retro 1950s style cat’s eye frames.
Novelty sunglasses are great for a laugh, but if you want to wear something bold all day, we suggest a bright, neon frame, or a coloured lens. Heart shaped, pink and animal print. round and neon – you choose, it’s all out there!
If you do want novelty, go all out with parrots and palm trees!
Maybe animal print is more your thing? A popular choice for sunglasses frames, be as bold as subtle as you like!
The retro Cat’s Eye frame is huge this summer. You don’t have to take it one step further and add ears! But you can if you want…
If you can’t part with over-sized sunnies, then don’t fret, there are still plenty out there. Brilliant for hungover mornings!
