Nail your look with shades

On the ramps were seen all kinds of innovative sunglasses that can take you from retro to the future, from the cat eyed to the shield.

This season, there is nothing left untouched and undone - be it the frames with patterns, novelty, bling to the lenses with reds, yellows, blues or even the shapes, which were seen in triangles, circles and squares.

Seems like the inspiration was pouring in from the kindergarden days of learning colours and shapes. Let's take a look at the hottest sunglasses.

Skinny cat eye – "The" thing of the 50s, the cat eye sunglasses have been gaining popularity with celebrities like Bella and Gigi, making them the crowd's favourite as well.

Much as they don't cover the eyes in totality, these skinny cat eyes still seem to be the instant style statement.

Shield – While giving maximum protection, as well as the dramatism to the eyes, the oversized shield sunglasses were highlighted on the ramps by the likes of Stella McCartney and Tom Ford.

Differentiators are the ones with colored lenses or with some bling.

Oversised Retro – Bigger, the better…Oversised sunglasses always make a huge statement. A strong trend this summer, these sunglasses are seen rimless as well as with thin metallic frames.

Geometric shapes like triangle, square, hexagon, octagon are becoming quite a rage.

To top it all, the oversized glasses with colored lenses like yellow, red, green are stealing the show and are a must have.

Pattern frames – Designers Fendi and Moschino took the spring summer pattern trends to the next level, by styling their ensembles with stripe and polka dot sunglasses.

Take the contemporary approach and sport a pair of patterned sunglasses with a little pastel dress this summer.

If your personal style is funky, then this is the year for you. Pull on the hottest pair of sunnies, for they are sure to make you stand out.

However, a few tips to keep in mind are:

♦    Sunglasses should be in sync with your outfit of the day. Bolder, trendier sunglasses should be teamed with simpler clothing styles and not with extreme dramatic clothing, for you will end up looking like a wannabe.

♦    Another key point, is to pick sunglasses based on your face shape, hairstyle & skin tone. Never buy sunglasses without trying them on.

♦    Wear sunglasses that not only make you look chic, but also protect your eyes from UV radiation.
