Oversized gradient shades
Oversized shades have always been a staple of the fashion crowd, but you don’t have to be in the front row of fashion week to get the look. These square Radley sunglasses are the perfect way to protect your eyes from UV rays. The gradient lens and semi-transparent frame will lend a chic element to your look.
The large style of this frame offers extra coverage and protection from the sun. The gradient lens is also excellent for allowing wearers to see clearly in front of them and below them, whilst offering shade from the sun’s glare above.
Cat eye shades
The cat eye silhouette is one of the most flattering and glamourous styles for sunglasses. A classic of the ‘50s, this retro shape will add glamour to any look. The ultra-feminine style of the cat eye frame will elevate your look with ease.
The cat eye frame has many modern variations, with some more oval in shape and others with more angular features than classic versions. This Le Specs x Adam Selman collaboration has more of a flat shape with sharper angles for a very up-to-date chic style.

A staple amongst the stylish, round-shaped glasses are a retro classic that suit most people. From John Lennon to Harry Potter, this style is a popular one in the media. An oversized version will feel more modern and frame your face well. This pair by Calvin Klein has a slender metal frame in silver.
Wrap-around sunglasses
