Sunglasses are an essential summer item, and everyone should have at least one great pair. As well as looking great, they also provide protection against the suns ultra-violent rays, so you have two reasons to get yourself some. There are lots to choose from, literally thousands of different brands / styles, so where do you begin your search? Well, you could do a lot worse than these…

Oakley Fuel Cell : These sunglasses are instantly recognizable as being Oakley. They adopt the same general style as Oakley’s previous ranges of sunglasses, but add a new touch of style with the designs that come printed on the frame. The frame itself is made from a stress resistant material, meaning that the sunglasses can take a few bangs and knocks, yet also manage to remain lightweight. The lenses are as good as you will find, with one hundred of the sun’s harmful rays being kept out.

Tom Ford Brigitte : Arguably the most stylish pair sunglasses on the market right now, Tom Ford (former creative director at Gucci) really delivers with the Brigitte. Noticeable features are the lenses being cut short just before the lenses and the fine metal, tubular frame crossing over at the bridge of the nose. You cannot fail to draw a few envious looks if you walk around wearing these sunglasses.

Ray-Ban Clubmaster 2156 : The king of sunglasses has put a new spin on their classic Clubmasters range which first made an appearance in the 1950s. That people are still loving these sunglasses 50 years after they were first released tells you just how great they are. The latest updates include a wider lens and more detailing, which give the original design a more up-to-date look.

Bolle Piranha : These sunglasses are as functional as they are stylish. They are flexible, durable and lightweight, and the hydrophilic nose and stem tip grips mean that they do not move about and / or fall off if you run about in them. Therefore, they are ideal for athletes and sports players, as they allow you to focus on giving your all without having to worry about damaging your sunglasses.
