I don’t know about you but hats make me look like a teenage car thief, a decent pair of sunglasses is really the only option when it comes to shielding your eyes during the vicious vicious British Summer.
But what kind of Sunglasses? If you want to avoid looking like you’re plugged into the Matrix:
Or, even worse, like Bono:
Then it seems this year you have quite a few options to suit both your face and your budget regardless of the condition of either!!
Let’s start with the Holiday option, you and I both know that you’re going to sit on them/drop them in your beer/give them to some poor woman as part of one of your more elaborate (yet still unsuccessful) chat-up lines. Therefore you want to look halfway decent without spending the earth, you ask, I deliver:
Alternatively, if you care, a rounder frame will point you out as being slightly more fashion conscious:
It’s worth pointing out that you could get both of those and still have change from £30. If you want to spend a little more in exchange of some better quality materials and some little design touches then have a look at these classic aviator style glasses from Debenhams:
At the higher end of the scale Persol sunglasses feel like they are worth every penny when you wear them, the styles are pretty tough to argue with too:
It’s also worth considering that a different pair of “sunnies” (sorry to use such a blatantly Australian term, I don’t know what came over me) might be in order for your Sporting pursuits. Not only will you appreciate a little function over form but you’ll care a lot less when they fall off your head during your overly-zealous celebration, they’re also less likely to get damaged:
