With so many sunglasses on the market, it can be difficult to know where to focus your attention. The endless array of acetate frames and tinted lenses can quickly become overwhelming, leaving you questioning why one cat-eye style is better than the next. Fortunately, we at Vogue are avid sunglasses fans and have spent years fine-tuning our favourites.
While brands like Oakley and Kapten & Son prioritise function, others like Linda Farrow and Prada offer fashion-forward options. Whether it’s a high-street bargain or luxury investment, we firmly believe that sunglasses aren’t just for summer – they should complement your winter coat just as well as your summer dress . With contemporary options from Gentle Monster and Chimi, to designer classics from Gucci and Prada, we have rounded up the 10 best sunglasses brands for every style and any price range.
Below, Vogue ’s edit of sunglasses you’ll want to wear all year round. Linda Farrow When Linda Farrow first launched her namesake brand in 1970, it was one of the first eyewear brands to treat sunglasses in the same way as ready-to-wear. Now, under direction of Simon Jablon, Farrow’s son, the brand continues to create unique, luxury eyewear that’s known for its cutting edge collaborations with the likes of Raf Simmons, Phillip Lim, Dries Van Noten and The Attico.
Gucci Thank goodness that Gucci decided to expand its offering from saddles and leather goods into accessories and clothing. In 1990 – 70 years after Gucc.
