This oversized, contemporary take on a classic Wayfarer style somehow manages to be both bold and restrained. Granted, many of the styles take some serious confidence to pull off, but not all high-fashion frames are exercises in outlandishness. Known for their unconventional shapes, oversized silhouettes and refined luxury, Saint Laurent’s shades have been firm favourites of A-listers and fashion insiders for decades. We’ve gone for the practical, foldable option as it’s a lifesaver being able to slot them into a pocket when you’re on the move. Opt for classic tortoiseshell frames with light brown gradient lenses and you’ll be in good company: everyone from David Beckham to JFK to Leonardo DiCaprio has been seen sporting them over the years. Times may change, sea levels may rise, the doomsday clock continues to tick… but no matter what happens, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer will be a foolproof choice that never dates. The 1387 Square Sunglasses-Granny Chic is based on the humble design elements of the brands’ original 0524, but with a new design, elevated with the addition of new details including increasing the eye size to 52mm, adding the vintage-inspired oyster pins and the ‘arrowhead’ temple design last seen on another Cutler and Gross icon the 1346.īuy now at Cutler and Gross Ray-Ban Key Frame: Folding Wayfarer Classic FramesĬutler and Gross Key Frame: 1387 Square Sunglasses-Granny ChicĮstablished by opticians Mr Cutler and Mr Gross in 1969, Cutler and Gross have been at the forefront of optical design for over 50 years. If ever in doubt, the classic Wayfarer is a universal style that works for almost all men, so start from there. Square faces (similar length and width) lend themselves to rounder styles, while rounder faces will benefit from a bit more structure and definition. Square frames with rounded corners can also work, but too much geometric shaping can emphasise your angles and appear quite brutal. Round and curved styles help soften sharper facial features such as pronounced cheeks and squarer jaws. Luckily, the rest of the sunglasses world is your oyster, so feel free to choose between square and rounder styles, with oversized and drop (think aviators) silhouettes working particularly well too.įor the rest of us, the rules are a little trickier. If your face is longer than it is wide – with softer lines around your cheeks and jaw – the last thing you want to do is make it appear longer, so avoid anything too small or John Lennon-like. The sunglasses face shape debate is a minefield, but there are certain conventions to follow.
