Coloured Acetate Frames

Acetate frames in soft pastel colours are a key look when it comes to the latest sunglasses trends. Instead of going for the traditional black or tortoiseshell, you can colour block and match your outfits with acetate styles in lilac, peach and sky blue.

Sporty Sunglasses

Making their mark in 2018, this year’s sporty styles are more minimalistic, polished and easy to wear. It’s important to protect your eyes from the sun when you’re outside being active, and sports sunglasses will also keep your eyes safe from impact and shield them from wind, dust and other debris.
