Fashion bloggers are the new magazine editors! Who else would you trust to tell you what’s in fashion this season?

Here’s an overview of what three of Britain’s top fashion blogs have identified as summer’s must-have trends, and how you can work those looks with your glasses.

1.

Tortoiseshell

Everyone knows the celebs have been wearing white Wayfarer style sunnies, but the folks at My Fashion Life, which is run by the lovely Michele Obi, are also embracing tortoiseshell sunglasses. Apparently they are reminiscent of ‘dusty book shelves, 60s film stars and hippies in Morocco’.

My top pick– Minx Tortoise (£60)

2.

Romance

Over the top femininity and ruffles encapsulate this season’s Romance trend. You may think of the trend as just ‘pink frills’ but it’s grown up and sophisticated with hints of sparkles.

My top pick – Cuba Libre (£20)

3.

Green

Fashion stylist, and my friend, Rebekah Roy spots and snaps fashionistas on her travels. She recently met DJ SOL who was wearing the most vibrant green sunglasses.

My top pick– Ritchie Green (£45)

When we first saw Archipelago of Scandinavia glasses, we knew we had to share them with you. Designed near, and inspired by, the Gothenburg coastline, they marry the best of retro and contemporary design. They seem to give a feeling of sunny days by the shore, sailing on the sea breeze, taking things easy… More durable than standard stainless steel frames, each features four to six coatings on top of the base metal – so their quality matches their superior Scandinavian design. Scandinavia glasses now available a part of Glasses Direct classic prescription glasses range.

Enjoy!
