Sunglasses are more than just a fashion accessory - they're collectors' items and they're a way of communicating a mood. 

Sunglass Hut marketing manager, Earl Kopeledi, agrees with me here, saying “Sunglasses add individual expression to any outfit. They convey a sense of who you are, whether you’re a trendsetter or master of timeless elegance."

And while sunnies are both a sartorial and practical necessity during the Spring/Summer seasons, they cannot be reduced to being merely seasonal accessories. Fendi proved this during their Fall/Winter Haute Couture 2019 show.

And during our autumn/winter seasons, some of South Africa’s favourite Instagram personalities were spotted in the latest sunglass collections from brands such as Loewe, Tom Ford and Celine.

Sun. Shield. Deliver.

Shields will turn any look into an instant statement, showcasing both a futuristic and street style aesthetic.
