From a much-anticipated Ganni collab to the classic styles you won’t want to pass up, here’s everything you need to know about the latest sunglasses to land…


If we were hosting our own sartorial awards ceremony, sunglasses would definitely be crowned Most Transformative Accessory. With the power to take jeans and a T-shirt from an outfit that feels hastily put together to something infinitely more thought-out, a good pair has the power to elevate your entire wardrobe – whether you opt for colourful acetate or timeless black.

The best news? This year has seen a wave of buzzy new launches. Last week, after a much-anticipated hype-up period, Ace & Tate launched a collab with Ganni that subsequently broke both Instagram and the bank accounts of fashion fans. Inspired by the Y2K styles spotted on the likes of Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton in the early 00s, the collection is full of chunky styles in vibrant shades and will immediately make years-old outfits feel fresh.

Ready to discover this soon-to-sell-out collection, and more trending sunglasses styles to wear this summer? Keep reading for our guide to the best sunglasses to wear with every warm-weather outfit…
