You don't need twenty pairs of sunglasses. You need the right five. Each one below suits a different mood, face and outfit, and together they cover workdays, weddings, road trips and everything in between.
1. The aviator
Made for pilots in the 1930s, still cool today. Thin metal frames and teardrop lenses suit square, oval and heart faces. Wear them with a white shirt and rolled sleeves.
Aviators
Light metal frames with wide lenses for full coverage. Shop aviators
2. The wayfarer
Thick frames, slightly tilted shape and a bold look. The wayfarer works on almost every face and goes as well with a kurta as it does with a T-shirt.
3. The round frame
Round sunglasses add a creative, slightly vintage feel. They balance strong jawlines best. Pick a thin metal rim for a softer look or thick acetate for something louder.
Thin gold rims keep round styles light and easy to wear.
4. The square frame
Clean lines and a confident shape. Square sunglasses suit round and oval faces and look sharp with formal clothes. This is your pair for weddings and work trips.
5. The sport wrap
Curved lenses that wrap around your face block light from the sides. They stay put while you run, cycle or ride. Choose polarised lenses if you spend time near water.
Start here: If you only buy one pair this year, make it a black wayfarer or a gold aviator. Both work with almost everything you own.
