As brighter, longer and hopefully warmer days will soon be upon us, it’s time to update your accessories collection. What’s more, no accessory is more perfectly posed to take you from a brisk winter walk to a hot festival field than sunglasses. As retro frames continue to hold strong, we’ve raided your favourite online stores, stopping off at some of your luxury destinations along the way, and have gathered 10 retro options, sure to make you feel sophisticated the minute you pop them on.

Whether you opt for a cat-flick style shape, a pop of purple colour or you pay tribute to John Lennon with some round, wire-framed specs, sunglasses are perhaps the easiest way to add some fun and personality to your ensemble, even if the rest of your look is lacking in statements.

From less than €15 on the high street right up to the higher end of the spectrum with brands like Michael Kors, there’s something here for everyone. Which will you choose?
