Wear on repeat sunglasses are as much a part of a quietly luxurious wardrobe as a do-it-all dress, a multi-tasking linen blazer or a stealth wealth bag in butter soft leather. Speaking of quiet luxury, new-in pieces from Bottega Veneta Eyewear are turning heads, and we can see why: sleek and luxurious, they embody everything we love about the refined brand. We’re big advocates of wearing sunglasses all year round (less squinting and frowning is a nice treat for your face) but now that the good weather is finally here a statement pair of sunnies have never been more important. We love Celine eyewear – the brand’s Triomphe oval acetate sunglasses nail that cool girl look. Equally, Anine Bing has a good selection of black and tortoiseshell shades that are a modern take on the classic cat-eye.

Then there’s the big trend: logos! At Gucci and Prada, designer logos take pride of place in a throwback to the 1990s. Feeling bold? Square and rectangular shapes, once a maximal fashion trend, have proven to have staying power: we like the oversized blue pair from Mango’s designer collaboration with Simon Miller (below). Lastly, if you’re in the mood to shop, be sure to check out the sunglasses sale at Brown Thomas and Arnotts, happening from June 2-8. Buy one pair, get 50 per cent off a second pair on selected men’s and women’s designer sunglasses. Run, don’t walk!
