So what’s hot in the world of sunglasses for 2016? Cat eye shades are the shape of the season, with every luxury design house worth its salt plumping for a retro feline shape in at least one of its styles. Choose an oversized acetate pair in a statement shade to channel Dolce & Gabbana’s vibe, or opt for an understated timeless black pair like those spotted at Bottega Veneta.

Aviator detailing is another sunglasses trend that isn’t going anywhere, so invest in a classic mirror aviator that will see you through festival season and beyond, or choose a mix-and-match cat eye plus aviator combo (check out the Ray-Bans in our round-up).

If mini, 60s Lennon specs are your bag you’re in luck; as this retro trend sticks a-round (sorry) for another sunny season. We’ve found beauties by Michael Kors and Free People in our sunglasses edit.

There’s nothing subtle about any of this season’s sunglasses, so our main advice is to go bold or go home when choosing your new season specs. We love Hook LDN’s chunky acetate frames for making a style statement, and there are some cute Linda Farrow-inspired heart-shaped frames by Floozie by Frost French for a snip at just £16 at Debenhams.

Go forth friends, shop for sunglasses and seek sun. Lots and lots of sun.
