SUNNY SIDE UP
Our perpetual warm weather means there is always reason to get new shades – and we’re not complaining. This season, there are a few key ways for those with an eye on style to bolster their ocular defence. First up: Shield sunglasses. Characterised by a single large lens extending over both eyes, the look is typically associated with the sports sunnies favoured by pro surfers and urban cyclists, but have recently gained ground on the runways due to fashion’s ongoing obsession with performance wear. Prada’s wraparound version is effortlessly cool with streetwear and can even be worn with a formal suit for an irreverent clash of styles.
Also, good news for those who aren’t blessed in the jaw department – right now, it’s hip to be square. Besides adding some structure to the face, right-angled shades have an au-courant vintage vibe. Unless you’re modelling your look after a certain Rocketman, subtlety is key. Opt for thin metal frames and muted colours, such as the Oliver Peoples model shown here.
Lastly, this season’s sunglasses are all about being on the cutting edge – literally. One innovative design detail involves carving up frames and lenses in an interplay of spaces and voids: Giorgio Armani accentuates the peekaboo effect with lenses that are cut horizontally at the top and suspended within the inner rim of the frame for stylish form.
