Are you a sunglasses lover? If yes,then you need to read this.
According to independent.co.uk ,here’s the pick of the best sunglasses. As well as a necessary accessory during a sunny day, sunglasses are a great way of finishing off a summer outfit, too – so these have been sorted not just for their ability to screen out the sun but also how they’ll make you look to everyone else, too.
1. Persol 714: £123.40, Amazon
Worn by everyone from Steve McQueen to Ryan Gosling, these are stylish and timeless. They’re also built hardily and come in a wide array of different colours. Like Ray Bans, they are remarkably versatile, with the classic-looking, classy brown frames complementing most outfits. The fact that they fold up into a tiny bundle makes them very practical, too.
2. Cubitts Bingfield: £125, Cubitts
Based in London and drawing on traditional, hand-made techniques, Cubitts makes sunglasses that are sturdily constructed but in no way hefty. Finley crafted from acetate, all of the pairs have a slightly retro but not outdated style. We've gone for the Bingfield pair, but there’s a range of frames, colours and sizes available, too, in case this particular pair doesn’t suit – and all, helpfully, are priced at £125, making the choice much easier. There's an option to add prescription lenses, too.
3. Ray-Ban New Wayfarer: £65.40, Amazon
A classic – and with good reason. The Wayfarers suit most faces – so long as you get the right size – and most outfits. What’s more, you can choose from a huge range of different styles and colours, which include everything from classic black to denim frames and bright pink lenses. The black pair looks timeless while the tortoiseshell-look pair keeps much of the same style but adds an interesting twist.
4. Nike Run X2: £89.99, Rx Sport
These nylon-framed sunglasses aren’t the most stylish on our list – they seem to take more cues from a spaceship than any classic eyewear. But that’s because they are expertly crafted for being active, helping you exercise while they stay sleek and secure on your head.
5. H&M: £6.99, H&M
H&M’s shades are perfect if you don’t want to splash out or just want to try out a look that you aren’t ready to commit to. These are eye-catching – with a bright blue lens and tortoiseshell frames made from plastic and metal – but still look conservative enough that you won’t feel like they’re too much of a statement.
6. KITE Martino: £150, Kite
Kite makes beautiful, designer-quality glasses but is a little less known than some other big sunglass makers – though that’s not at all justified. The fine detailing and construction of these handmade, acetate-framed glasses makes them well worth their fairly high price. Unisex, round and not especially large, they require the right face to wear them nicely – but if you can pull them off then that same interesting silhouette means that they’re eye-catching, while allowing you to maintain a classic cool. They come in a range of lenses and frames – everything from a classic black frame with black lenses to a transparent crystal frame with bright, bronze-mirrored lenses.
7. Oakley Breadbox: £95, Selfridges
Primarily known for sporty sunglasses, Oakley hasn’t strayed too far from tradition when making its fashionable leisure eyewear. It keeps some of that sporting style, with a streamlined shape and a comfy fit, but have a casual, relaxed look, meaning that you’ll get great-looking glasses that will still be able to last. The strong, lightweight and stress-resistant materials used in the frame means that they’ll still be able to last for years, like Oakley’s more sporty models.
8. Tom Ford Tf465: £220, Selfridges
If you prefer to make a statement with your shades, then Tom Ford provides the perfect way to do it. These glasses’ square, marble-look frames and dark lenses are unapologetically bold, giving a confident and slightly retro look to anyone who dares wear them.
9. Hugo Boss: £199, Hugo Boss
Delicate and neatly-designed – borrowing as many cues from optical glasses as sunglasses – these Hugo Boss shades are perfect for a classic, unshowy look. Combining black frames with gold detailing, they’re stylish and have a quiet confidence that makes them perfect for more formal settings.
Verdict
The Persol pair is chic, well-built, and versatile enough that it will look good with most outfits and in most settings. They are of course fairly expensive – though far from the most expensive – but that price is reflected in their quality. If they are a little much then H&M’s sunglasses are far better than their tiny price tag might suggest. And if you’re on a bit of a budget but have a bit more to spend, then the classic Wayfarers are relatively cheap for such iconic sunglasses, and have achieved that status for a reason – they’re sturdy, great looking and come in a huge range of colours.
