Sunglasses for summer

"Sabina" sunglass by Oliver Peoples, $375

When I stumbled across these lovelies at Oliver Peoples’ website I was instantly drawn in by the delicate colouring around the rims. This unique colour-coated metal frame encased in acetate gives this sunglass a delicate and jeweled look. Combined with a light to dark smoke effect on the lenses, these feminine frames are right on trend with what’s new and hot in eyewear this season.

What could be better than over-sized two-toned plastic frames with lightly-smoked lenses? Not too dark so you don’t have to take them off whenever you slip into a shop, these are a perfect accessory to any look this spring. Call them a health benefit; just because the smoke is on the light side doesn’t mean that these lenses won’t keep your peepers safe from harmful sun rays.

Of course, everyone’s making them: Balenciaga, Oliver Peoples, Chanel- wherever you look, there’s a jewel-toned sunglass making an appearance. Case in point, Katie Holmes wears the Oliver Peoples ”Sabina” lenses in a soft pink hue (pictured below). This colour is our favourite shade and we recommend it as the best match for most skin and hair colours. For a little more colour punch, try these other fun frames and soak in some rays!
