Our advice is to head to an optician who can advise on what will look good, provide prescription lenses if needed and custom fit. Sore ears and red marks on your nose always undermine any attempt to look cool and sophisticated!

This year’s designer styles are more flamboyant than before and are shifting back to larger, less minimalistic frames. Dior showed dual coloured mirror shades, while Prada opted for a heavy round look and Tom Ford featured metallic aviators. Take your pick, or keep it classic with retro Wayfarers from RayBan.
