ACCORDING to Larry Leight, founder and creative director of cult sunglasses brand Oliver Peoples, "a woman should consider owning a pair of sunglasses for any type of activity that she does, the same way she would with shoes". Needless to say we like his line of thought.

Rather conveniently, we have gathered the best sunglasses we could find to give you plenty to peruse. But what should we look for when purchasing a new pair of sunnies?
"A great pair of sunglasses is a pair that makes you feel good. You should be comfortable in them and love the way they fit and feel on your face," says Leight.
