Why it’s perfectly OK to wear sunglasses in winter (no, really)
While you might feel that sunglasses are slightly out of season, there's actually been no better time to don a pair of shades.
There is a certain air of 'notions' about anyone who wears sunnies past September under any other circumstances than driving, but with this winters bright and blustery feel, we think the time has come to shun social norms and embrace a pair of sclera saving shades.
And we're seriously so sick of squinting in the low sun while simultaneously shivering from the cold. Something has got to give.
1. ASOS
Winter can be a bit glum, so make a statement with some sculptured shades.
The marble detail on these makes them a fashion bloggers dream. They'll definitely get the likes on Insta.
2. Topshop
If you want to grunge up a slightly stuffy sartorial season of ruffles, embroidery and Victorian collars, opt for some John Lennon-esque subtle shades.
The best thing about these bad boys is, if you have managed to maintain them by summer, they are ideal for the festival season.
3. Ray-Ban
Designer shades are an investment, and somehow every summer rolls around and we still don't have the funds to make the leap.
If you happen to have the cash to splash in the winter and spring months, why not do your investing now? After all, a well made pair of designer shades will see you into summer and beyond.
Winter sun requires a little less coverage than the blasting summer sunshine, so opting for a pastel hue over black is totally viable.
Experiment with your colour palette and brighten up a gloomy winter wardrobe with a whisper of pastel pink.
5. River Island
The perfect hangover shades.
This blacked out, oversized pair will shelter your tired eyes as well as their surrounding dark circles after you've hit the gin and tonics a tad too hard over the festive season.
