Sunglasses are a girl’s best friend in sunny weather, and while the classic aviator, wayfarer, or Audrey Hepburn styles are always flattering choices that complement any ensemble, sometimes you want to step outside the box. If you think it’s time to stand out with your summer accessories, try a bolder look with bright colours, off-kilter designs, and unusual lenses. After all, fortune favours the brave, even if today brave means donning some futuristic shades that are out of this world.
