Spec-tacular Sunnies!

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

Stuck for a new pair of sunnies this summer? We’ve chosen some of all shapes and sizes we think you’d look great in!

1. The Shape of the Season, £215 from net-a-porter.

Chances are you’ll have seen Prada’s Spring/Summer 2011 campaign by now and been entranced by those sunnies with that gorgeous curve detailing.. We think that they’re the shape of the summer (much like how Prada set the standard with their rectangular Postcard sunnies last Spring/Summer season) – totally iconic and one of the more wearable high fashion pieces.

2. The Oversized, Glam Look, £72 from ASOS.

The oversized sunnie look has long been sported by boho-queen Nicole Richie and what with maxis being a huge hit this summer, we think this Eley Kishimoto pair are the perfect accompaniment. And if you needed any further cajoling, they’re in the sale too down from £180!

3. The Rectangular, Casual Look, £132 from ASOS.

A classic shape for a casual, everyday look, we’re huge fans of this Marc Jacobs two-tone pair of sunnies. Sure to go with anything and everything and last for more than one season, it’s a sure-fire investment pair.

4. The Boxy, Edgy Look, £16 from Topshop.

For the trendsetting readers amongst you, we think you could rock these angular beauties from Topshop. At £16 it’s our cheapest pick so you can afford to step out of your style comfort zone and try something new.

No good fashion blog could post all summer without mentioning sunglasses. Here are three picks we think you might like.

Oversized sunnies have long been a rather glamorous choice with fans such as Rachel Zoe and Nicole Richie. This pair would go well with a maxi dress for the boho look this summer and this pair are only £12 from ASOS!

What’s set to be a bit hit for Autumn/Winter 2010 is the ladylike look, with Louis Vuitton and Prada championing the trend. Stay ahead of the crowd with this pair of sunnies from Monsoon for £15. They’re sort of half way between Wayfarers and those 50s cats eye glasses that we will probably start seeing in stores for next season. Not only that but the lighter coloured frames are very now – a great example is Prada’s “Postcards” sunnies that you might have seen advertised in every monthly mag and a few bus stops!

Lastly, we have this pair of aviators from Ray Ban for £111 from Net-A-Porter. Whilst oversized maybe be glam, glam, glam, aviators send out a relaxed, chic vibe – think Kate Moss or other models off duty.
