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…
Ace & Tate x Ganni Twiggy Sunglasses
Part of this summer’s most coveted sunglasses collab, these apple green shades will add a splash of summery colour to all-black outfits – and amp things up even more when styled with brighter looks.
Shop Ace & Tate X Ganni Twiggy Sunglasses at Ace & Tate, £185
Cos Narrow Cat-eye Sunglasses
Narrow enough to feel stylishly 90s-inspired but not at all costumey, wear these orange, rectangular cat-eye sunglasses with a beige linen waistcoat for a classic/trending hybrid outfit that’s perfect for warm weather.
Cubitts Grimaldi Sunglasses
With a 60s-inspired shape and warm, mottled tortoiseshell pattern, these statement sunglasses will work as well with a basket bag and Birkenstocks as they will with a silky mini pouch bag and shimmery mules.
Lexxola Jordy Sunglasses
Trending orange lenses mean these retro shades will not only look chic, they’ll help summer days feel consistently sunny thanks to their warm tint.
Bloobloom The Icon Sunglasses
If dark frames aren’t for you, this see-through powder pink style will be. The subtle cat-eye and pale frames are softer than classic black but are just as versatile.
Stylist X Catch London Holly Sunglasses
Wear this sea-inspired blue/green shade with a neutral outfit to add a hit of colour while remaining firmly in your sartorial comfort zone.
& Other Stories Rectangular Slim Frame Sunglasses
Chanel the likes of Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber with these shamelessly 90s-inspired metal frames sunglasses. Add a ribbed white vest and oversized striped shirt to make the look feel complete.
Shop & Other Stories Rectangular Slim Frame Sunglasses at & Other Stories, £27
Le Specs Air Heart Cat-eye Acetate Sunglasses
Warm tortoiseshell is everywhere, but if you’re a silver jewellery wearer who prefers cool tones, these grey acetate sunglasses are for you. Pair them with a blue-pink lip to lean into the undertones.
Shop Le Specs Air Heart Cat-eye Acetate Sunglasses at Selfridges, £65
M&S Square Preppy Sunglasses
As well suited to summer festivals as they are to weekends spent wearing Breton T-shirts and longline denim shorts, these red frames are a welcome departure from black and brown for anyone who loves brights.
Mango Oval Sunglasses
The subtle rounded shape and cobalt blue of these small frames makes them the perfect 50s/90s crossover. Wear them with a white linen shirt and silky maxi skirt to channel the latter.
