Handle this Shady Season with the Newest and Most Stylish Sunglasses

Some of these SS19 picks are ideal for the glamazons out there.

Not many accessories have the power to give a favourite, tried and tested outfit a bang up-to-date twist quite like sunnies. A chief part of any stylista’s OOTD, including of course Anna Wintour and Blair Eadie, many have come to rely on standout shades to add an ultra cool final touch. And while they protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV and HEV rays, there’s yet another advantage to wearing them. “Sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins," as Victoria Beckham, another sunglass aficionado, said. We can’t think of a more impossibly chic way to hide those under eye bags after a night out.

From trending D-Frames, sporty styles and retro cat-eyes to a new spin on aviator sunglasses or those with circular and rectangular lenses, these picks will surely give your outfits a lift. So whether you love a pop of colour, a more traditional hue, loud prints or something bejewelled, keep clicking through to see our edit of spring/summer 2019 sunglasses.
