Summer is in full swing and the next heatwave is just around the corner, so it’s time to get those girly brunch dates in the diary. While it’s important to pick the right venue (and the perfect food and cocktails combo), the biggest consideration is your outfit. Whether you’re a floaty dress and sandals kinda gal – or a blazer, skinny jeans and killer heels vixen – having chic accessories is key.
Sunglasses not only frame your face and complete your look, but they protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays if you decide to dine ‘al fresco’ or ‘sul terrazzo’. All you need is one pair of staple shades that will add instant glam for every summer event.
Here are the top 10 feminine sunglasses that we’re loving right now:
1) Salvatore Ferragamo SF1031S
One of our most popular women’s sunglasses for a reason. Stylish, elegant and easy to wear with just about anything in your wardrobe, the Salvatore Ferragamo SF1031S frames will take you from brunch date with the girls to a romantic lunch date at The Ivy. Perfect for weddings too, these sunnies are a summertime must-have.
2) Givenchy GV 7031/S
Another top-selling designer frame is the Givenchy GV 7031/S – chic and oversized sunglasses with the perfect mix of black and gold for versatile styling to see you through every glam event. Large lenses give you added coverage when the sun is blazing, and the ultra-thin temples give you a seamless finish.
3) BOSS BOSS 1385/S
NEW to our range, the BOSS BOSS 1385/S sunglasses are a divine celebration of geos, giving you face-framing gorgeousness like Victoria Beckham. Contour your cheeks and chin for added chiselling – but these shades will give you all the shape you need.
