Black Sunglasses

It’s the sophisticated shade and goes with anything. After several seasons of trying to sway the consumer into wearing bright, bold colours the runway will always come back to black.

And although this season will again be a riot of colour black is still the staple among the staples of black, white and grey.  Smart, sophisticated and classically chic, black is the forever shade of shades.

It's a perennial for your wardrobe and helps you make the transition from summer brights to autumnal essentials. But even in the warmer months, you can still pair black with any summer ensemble and look great, so it’s always worth investing in.

When you wear this sophisticated shade you can be whatever you want – sexy, powerful and seductive, especially when that shade is in the form of an oversized pair such as Ray-Ban Jackie Ohh II in black.

Big black sunglasses first appeared as a fashion statement in the 60s, when style icon Jackie Onassis christened them onboard Ari Onassis' yacht. Hollywood fashion icon Audrey Hepburn also had a penchant for big sunglasses and her impeccable style is emulated in the oversized sunglasses of today.

Black sunglasses are the little black dress for your eyes.  You need some.  It's as plain as that.
