Must have Essential Sunglasses List....
If you are feeling stuck and not sure what sunglasses wardrobe staples you should have- then simply read on. we will discuss the sunglasses that are timeless, trending and look good on just about anyone who wears them.
When I buy sunglasses, I tend to think of longetivity. I want sunglasses to last the test of time and I also want sunglasses that I can wear with a bikini or a cocktail dress.
These are our top essential sunglasses for your wardrobe.
1) Aviator Shape Glasses
This style has been around since the 1930's and were originally designed for pilots. However, they made their way into Hollywood films and since then they have been a fashion staple ever since. For example, films such as Top Gun have proliferated the sells in them ever since.
What is fantastic about them, is they look good on pretty much every face shape there is. They look just as awesome on men as they do women too.
Every person should own a pair of these.

2) The Classic Cat Eye
Cat eye sunglasses are very on trend this year and we have been treated to a more rounded version this year- which is more accessible to all face shapes.
Owning at least one pair of cat eye sunglasses is a must. These two shapes have been very prominent this year and our prediction is that they will form part of the timeless selections. Meaning, if you buy these shapes you will still look fabulous in them next year.
We have also seen a lot of round cat eye frames, often over-sized like we have seen Emma Hill wear
If you dont know who Emma Hill is, she is a popular fashion instagrammer with 800k followers- who is the self confessed queen of minimalist style and we love her!
3) The 'Jackie' Look Sunglasses
Thses sunglasses have been spotted on almost every female celebrity there is. They are glam, sophisticated and are so timeless they have been re-used for decades.
They are so beautiful. I strongly suggest that if you are starting your sunglasses selection from scratch, you must definitely buy a pair of these shades.

Kate Middleton and her sister have also been seen rocking the look:
4) Round Sunglasses
Round sunglasses take us back to John Lennon's iconic look. But they have continued to be just as relevant, but slightly different.
Now we are seeing more exciting shapes on the bridge of the nose and more exciting colours like tortoisehell around the edges of them.
Zara Tindall Sunglasses
Meghan Markle Sunglasses
5) Rectangular Sunglasses
These are very much on trend at the moment. its all about chunky, heavy rectangular frames. The person who is the absolute style iconic for anything angular is always hayley Bieber. So if you want any inspiration, she is the best person to study.
How to Tell What Sunglasses Look Good On You
Our first rule is to find sunglasses that offer a contrast to your natural face shape. If your face is very round, you should be looking at angles.
Or second tip is to look for celebrities with a similar face shape to your own. They normally have access to stylists and dressers and have proffesional opinions before they step outside.
Our third tip is to check out our blog on face shapes and types to steer you in the right direction.
