The clocks jumping forward means it’s officially spring. Daylight lingers longer, and though it’s not yet strong enough for short sleeves, you now log more hours squinting into a sun that still only hangs just above your eyeline. To stop your lids imprinting those creases permanently, you need something to kill the glare.

This season, you should think beyond the wayfarer. SS16’s shades are curved in all the right places; well, on every edge, at least. Round sunglasses popped up everywhere from Moschino to Armani, although these aren’t your John Lennon type – on the runways, sunnies were bigger and bolder, with everything from degradé frames to mirrored lenses. Consider them yet another sign of the 1990s revival.

Summer Gothic

If your face has any kind of curves, then perfect circles only accentuate them. These ASOS frames have the on-trend round lenses but add some edge where frame meets leg. Which means they’re wearable, even without Johnny Depp’s cheekbones.

Hand-Made Handsome

Glints hand-builds its frames in the same Japanese factories that put out four-figure sunglasses, but by selling direct to the customer, you pay a 10th of the price.

The Gresham frame is just circular enough to stay on trend, just curved enough for most men to pull off.

Mirror, Mirror

As a rule, the kind of guy who wears performance shades also likes to fill up his cargo pockets, because “why have them if you’re not going to use them?”. But Oakley’s new frames are designed for skaters, who have a rather lower tolerance for nerdy garms. So you get a head-hugging yet comfortable fit, Oakley’s high-grade optics, and on-point mirrored lenses. Best accessorized with a beaten up skateboard and an endless summer.
