The last month of the summer has started and there are still lots of sunny days to enjoy. Shorts and bikinis help us to survive the middays while the most popular accessory during the sunny times leads us from the sunrise to the sunset. 100 greatest sunglasses from Summer 2013 are on a judgment day now. Choose the ones that perfectly fit the shape of your face and wear it all year round.
Cat eye
The famous cat eye style was on its top in 1950s when glamorous celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn was the dictators of fashion for the middle class. Fashion is a circle with its ups and downs, however, the cat eye style kept its position and has become as classy as Chanel 2.55. There were many styles of cat eye this season both on runaway and in stores. Some of the designers kept it classy and chic (Jason Wu, Christian Dior), some played with details and colors (Prada, Stella McCartney) while others made it a bit edgy in shape (Erdem, Versace). Wear it as 50s celebrity with your lovely LBD or add some spice, but be sure, the cat eye sunglasses will make your look so mmmmrrrr.

Colours
Summer is supposed to be nice, warm and full of colours. The pastel colours of ice cream were so in last season, but now it is time to show off and be noticeable. The colourful sunglasses can easily be the most important accent in your outfit and you do not even need to wear make up! Grab the ones from Celine, Jil Sander or Dolce & Gabbana if you like the jazzy frames or choose Cheriff & Cherry, Michael Kors or Westward Leaning if you prefer to see your life in pink or yellow.

John Lennon
Do you imagine how much influence the cool guy called John Lennon has made both in music and in fashion? Even though you might agree only to the first one, just think of all the people that you have seen wearing round shaped glasses lately. Everybody has at least tried it on for fun in a cheap 1 euro store, however, designers from Burberry and Roberto Cavalli to Rochas and Maison Martin Margiela has shown it on runaway. I definitely suggest you to try this shape on, it might suit you very well and then you are one step closer to a legend.

Oversized
Emmm.. How many seasons have we seen oversized sunglasses in the magazines and on the celebrities noses? Hm, maybe forever? How often do you wear these after you have attended a great party? Hm, like always? Well, thanks to swinging 60s and Jackie O that made those ‘half face covering’ glasses so hot and popular. Acne, Chanel, Max Mara, Fendi, DKNY, Stella McCartney and tons of others play with the big glasses, add some colours or shape it in a new way and we have a totally new season’s look. I bet it is going to stay forever, do you?

Details
This is the greatest part for me – flowers, crystals, cuttings, little ears or wings, just anything you can find as a bonus on your sunglasses is cool! The great Dolce & Gabbana flowers, Dsquared Swarovski’s, Linda Farrow’s and Jeremy Scott’s Mickies are so funny and cute. Those sunglasses can be worn as a statement piece and get tons of compliments. And here comes the best part – you can decorate your sunnies yourself!

As you have probably noticed, there are various different styles, shapes and colors that are in this season, but I would suggest spending some time and choosing the sunglasses that looks good ON you and NOT in your bag. If your choice is wise, I can totally confirm that you won’t regret a penny spent on the sunnies that can be worn in a beach on July or in the mountains on January. Think twice!
