A wide selection of stylish sun silhouettes have surfaced for summer, and the ever distinctive round and oval shapes continue to be a winning choice for those wanting ease-of-wear with fresh yet lasting appeal, or a mood that is distinctly retro. Whether inspired by a 50s or 60s ‘librarian’ style round metal rim, a ‘Jackie O’ statement, or a classic “P3” round in acetate – a wonderfully practical design that fits many prescriptions, their popularity owes much to the simple way they frame the individual’s eyes – and flatter any face.
What to look for
Interesting micro details and accomplished finishes, from intriguing patterned materials to traditional rivet hinges, with pins visible on the frame front, or an elegant key hole bridge, these popular features should be on your radar when selecting your perfect style of the season. Also take the color selection seriously: the tried and tested classics such as black and tortoise are always great options alongside the eclectic choice of color configurations for lens tints and mirrors. Or a pop of color right through to a focus on transparent and translucent styles could be the perfect summertime update for beach trips and beyond.
