If the sunshine is out then your sunglasses shouldn't be far behind. Whether it's in winter sun or on a sunshine flooded holiday, sunglasses are an essential that we need all year round. Step this way for the latest styles to up your eyewear game.

Classic sunglasses

Choose wisely, and you could end up with a pair of sunglasses that you'll love forever. Classic shapes will always be in style, so look to retro designs such as wayfarers and clubmasters for a timeless look that will suit a lot of trends. Aviators will always have that Californian beach vibe, so they're perfect to wear with beachwear, from bikinis and swimsuits to swimming shorts and men's swimming trunks. If your style is vintage inspired, look to cat eye shapes and oversized square frames. These will forever bring an air of mystery to your look, and they're perfect with 50s fashion style full dresses and petticoat skirts.

Contemporary sunglasses

If you want your sunglasses to take a more modern direction, take your cue from the catwalk with rounded frames and coloured lenses. These styles are ideal with retro outfits such as mom jeans and t-shirts for the girls, or men's chinos and slim fit shirts for the guys. They're ideal for giving your formalwear some personality for summer weddings; wear them with a colourful suit and brogues, or a blazer and tartan trousers. Embellishments are also making their way to modern sunglasses for ladies, look to floral and diamante details for something that'll stand out if you're dressing formal.
