Summer Essentials! The perfect shades to add to your summer wardrobe

Living in South Africa, where the sun shines 90 percent of the time, shades are a must. Choosing the perfect pair is easy, with such a variety of styles and price points, you’re guaranteed to find the one. Go bold this season, with exciting shapes, detailing and colours to elevate your outfit.

If you’re anything like me and enjoy a classic black frame, to add a bit of appeal choose one that has a beguiling shape to it. Chimi eyewear’s Tony frame is similar to the classic aviators but with a bit more edge to it with a thicker and slightly bulkier shape and their “Bow” silhouette is slim, sleek and sexy.

Remember the viral Tiffany diamond framed sunglasses Pharrel Williams wore at Nigo’s debut collection for fashion house Kenzo? Well now you get to rock a similar and more affordable option. Not sure how to style these? Think European summer aesthetic for a chic sophisticated look or alternatively rock them with a bikini top and low rise wide leg jeans and flip flops with an oversized bag.
