Must have summer sunglasses

Submitted by Mimi on Thursday, 13 May 201014 Comments

Nothing says summer like slipping on your favourite pair of sunglasses while sun bathing on the beach, strolling around town or driving on a highway.

The shades below are my all time favourites that I believe every woman needs to have in her sunglasses collection. Once you have these basics, you can grow your collection by getting trendy and funky ones. But these are the four classics- the sunglasses that you can rely on from season to season.

Aviator They are plenty of designers and mass retail stores that offer aviator style sunglasses- from H&M to Marc Jocobs and Lanvin, but my favourite one remains to be the RayBan version.

Wayfarer Want to channel Audrey Hepburn? Just put your wayfarers on and you instantly give off a Parisian vibe. They come in a variety of colors, so there is a color to suit any personality.

Cat Eye Mysterious, feminine and oh so 50’s! The cat eye frame is timeless style that appeals to all types of girls.

Oversized Every girl needs a pair of oversized glasses to hide from the paparazzi.

What are your favourite shades?

I have a pair of black Chanel sunglasses and a pair of cheapie tortoiseshell ones I wear when I don’t want to risk the Chanel sunnies. That’s it. It’s so hard for me to find sunglasses that fit!

Aaah…I’d love to get a pair of Wayfarers, but unfortunately only oversized sunglasses suit my horse face!
You look lovely!

I have two pairs, both are Dior. I love oversized styles the best, not only do they look fab but they also provide the best protection.

I always wanted to buy wayfarers and aviator shades, but they do not look good on me because of the shape of my face. But I really really want them, so I end up buying the Cat’s Eye Style because it fits the shape of my face perfectly.
