25 BEST SUNGLASSES FOR 2017.With summer well and truly here, it’s time to get some seriously slick shades in your armoury. Look sharp and stay focused with our pick of the season’s best sunglasses for men. Would you spend a fortune on a pair of sunglasses? 
I did, and I would do it again.Because sunglasses are one of the few secure investments you have in your entire closet: they don’t get ruined (at least not too much: always keep them protected though). You can wear them almost every day, weather permitting, for almost the entire year, they protect you from prying eyes and they give, an indisputably cooler touch to your outfit. And even if it’s true that trends change, you can be sure that they’ll come back again.
For a futuristic take on Lennon’s signature round frames, click over to Giorgio Armani. Crafted in Italy from plastic injected with nylon fibre, these are incredibly light and precision shaped to your face (meaning they’re not going to slip off when you break a sweat). If you want to riff on Steve McQueen’s legendary style, getting a pair of his signature Persol 714 shades is a great start. We particularly like this slightly darker tortoiseshell – a colour that will look great on all skin types at every tan level. Rounder shades are making a comeback right now – and these “Sam” frames from J Crew’s first own-brand sunglasses offering are one of the most stylish takes on the shape around. The designer behind Bottega Veneta has just launched his own sunglasses range which are perfect examples of the understated style he is famous for. We particularly like his take on Seventies aviators
Want a face-based style upgrade without breaking the bank? We’ve got the shades for you. Trust us, you’ll be seeing a whole lot of green on the streets this season. However, if you’re not quite ready to invest in a totally tonal suit yet, try these shades to add a burst of green easily to any outfit. Introducing Michael Kors’ sleek, sophisticated black metal aviators. Best worn on Hvar, the sun-drenched Croatian island they’re named after.Classic styles with modern details are big this season – and a sweat bars especially (that’s the strip of metal that runs across the top, linking the lenses together). These Versace shades keep the detail distinctly out of Top Gun territory by covering the metal bar in sleek, sandy leather. In case you hadn’t noticed, menswear is in the grips of a major Seventies revival right now – and no designer is mastering it better than Tom Ford when it comes to eyewear. We’re big fans of these sleek metal and acetate hybrid “Tf334 aviators”. Wear with a suede jacket for maximum impact.
It’s not just Gucci’s clothes offering that’s getting more fluid, we’re also seeing a large helping of hybridity when it comes the label’s eyewear. By taking a classic shape and adding tortoiseshell frames, Gucci has taken this aviators way out of throwback territory. We’re a big fan of style hybrids, and this is one of our favourites when it comes to shades right now. Traditional tortoiseshell from the front, it’s only when you turn to the side that you get a splash of blue with the contrast metal arms. Perfect with a white shirt, shorts and a pair of breezy Rivieras on the beach. The sky might be sunny, but that’s no reason to rule out grey as he colour for your next pair of shades. We particularly like these smoky, Sixties-vibing sunglasses from Burberry to keep you looking like a mysterious.

While there are plenty of mirrored lenses on the market right now, what sets these apart is that the high-shine lenses in Mr Boho’s shades are completely flat – giving even the most traditional shapes a modern twist. We particularly like the Noord model in light “Leo” tortoishell – a distinctly versatile, warm colour that will look great on all skin tones. Founded in New York in 2008, Illesteva sunglasses combine classic designs and materials with modern details and colours. This is its signature Leonard style that comes in a range of colourful acetates – including yellow for this summer. Clear acetate is this summer’s coolest material for sunglasses, no doubt about it. Add to that a Seventies-inspired top bar, bronze-mirrored lenses and a subtly round frame, and you’ve got yourself a pair of the sleekest shades out there.
